| A menu box allows a user to tab through a dropdown list to make a selection from a number of choices. | ||
| Example | What is your area code? | |
| To add a menu box to your web page using FrontPage 98, you can choose Insert, Form Field, Drop-Down Menu from the main menu. | ||
 |
||
| You can also use the Drop-Down Menu button on the Forms toolbar. |
|
|
| To specify the properties of the
menu box, highlight it. Choose Edit, Form Field Properties from the main menu or right click on the form element. The Drop-Down Menu Properties dialog box will appear. |
||
 |
||
| In the Name text box, specify a
name for the menu box. (In the example above, the name might be areacode.) Select the Add button to the right. The Add Choice dialog box appears |
||
 |
||
| Put the first choice in your drop-down menu in
the Choice text box. (In our example above, the choice would be 703.) FrontPageExpress will automatically use your choice as the value it sends through the form handler. If you wish to specify a different value, (for example a shorter term) check Specify Value and type in your value. |
||
| Repeat the process until you have completed the
choices in your menu box. Choose Initial State Selected for the value you want to initially appear in the menu box. Note that you can edit and rearrange your choices from the Drop-Down Menu Properties dialog box. When you have finished specifying choices for the menu box, click on OK. |
