darvtech 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 In HTML you can use the 'select' tag to make a drop down menu. Inside it, you use the 'option' tag to add elements to the menu.<select multiple name="NAME" size=?></select>Creates a scrolling menu. Size sets the number of menu items visible before you need to scroll. <select name="NAME"></select>Creates a pulldown menu <option>Sets off each menu item For example this will create a menu with two items:<select name="menu1"><option>Element 1<option>Element 2</select>To make better use of this, it would be good to learn javascript too.

GameDev 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2004 Just try a search on google about learning html for good resources. I get a lot of my graphic stuff from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ because no HTML knowledge is required for those. Plus they have all kinds of other things too(templates,etc.).

alapidus 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2004 Besides Javascript, don't forget about CSS when making dropdown menus! With CSS, you can make your options look better. You can use color, font, and basically any other generic attribute, even background images (I haven't tested this last one) to make it look cool! Stuff that you can't do with just HTML.... You can combine this with Javascript to make some really cool effects, such as changing the color when you hover over or select an option. To learn CSS, i suggest htmldog.com. It teaches HTML and XHTML all in one go, without even looking back at old standards. You also might wanna check out w3schools.com, although I find W3Schools to be more of a crash-course site.
