drop-down menus

[Ashton, Jason]

Dear Petter,

There are at least a couple of Java applets freely available on the web   
that can and will do this.

This has one I have used with success (it has full instructions for use),   
I can't remember the URLs of the other.

 ----------------------------------------------------
Is there some way of making a pull down menu that avoids the traditional
extra step of selecting an item from the list to the window before
clicking "go"? What I desire is the space-saving functionality of the
pull-down menu, but in such a way that one could click directly on the
list items and dispense with that unsightly "go" button. Perhaps my
ignorance of html prevents me from understanding that this is simply not
possible (concerned friends recently prevailed upon me to suspend work on
a perpetual motion machine...), but if it is I'd love to hear about it.
Can anyone direct me to a page that has such a clickable dropdown list?
Many thanks, Petter Naess
