I want to create a page with multiple drop down lists and depending what the user selects decides the page they will be taken to. Sorry i havent explained this too well.

Here is an example of what i want (link below) the user is also emailed a copy

He is a script which works with dates and pull-downs.If you have some php skill, you might be able to re-work it to generate the anchor tags for your site.

<?php # Script 3.12 - dateform.php (2nd version after Script 3.7)$page_title = 'Calendar Form';// This function makes three pull-down menus for the months, days, and years.function make_calendar_pulldowns($m = NULL, $d = NULL, $y = NULL) {	// Make the months array.	$months = array (1 => 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December');		// Make the months pull-down menu.	echo '<select name="month">';	foreach ($months as $key => $value) {		echo "<option value=\"$key\"";		if ($key == $m) { // Preselect.			echo ' selected="selected"';		}		echo ">$value</option>\n";	}	echo '</select>';		// Make the days pull-down menu.	echo '<select name="day">';	for ($day = 1; $day <= 31; $day++) {		echo "<option value=\"$day\"";		if ($day == $d) { // Preselect.			echo ' selected="selected"';		}		echo ">$day</option>\n";	}	echo '</select>';		// Make the years pull-down menu.	echo '<select name="year">';	for ($year = 2005; $year <= 2015; $year++) {		echo "<option value=\"$year\"";		if ($year == $y) { // Preselect.			echo ' selected="selected"';		}		echo ">$year</option>\n";	}	echo '</select>';} // End of the function definition.// Create the form tags.echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Select a Date:</h1><p><br /></p><form action="dateform.php" method="post">';// Get today's information and call the function.$dates = getdate();make_calendar_pulldowns ($dates['mon'], $dates['mday'], $dates['year']);echo '</form><p><br /></p>'; // End of form.// Print the current day and time.echo '<p>Today is ' . date ('l') . '. The current time is ' . date ('g:i a') . '.</p>';?>

I didn't write this script, but I can assist with modding it if you need some help. Post back here if required.

Or if you don't want to go to the php route and want to stick with a CSS/html menu then go to http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/ since they got a nice list of multiple drop down menu's and of course other types of drop down menus;

SM,check the referenced link in the opening post.They need input selects rather than a drop-down menu. Definately a php solution (or ASP).
