Hi Sub,

First what version of Dreamweaver are you using? I use CS3, I'm not new to the program, but I wouldn't say I'm the most knowledgeable, but I think I can help. The marquee would be easiest if you look up the html code somewhere online to find the specific code, but it shouldn't be more than a few lines and then just copy and paste it into the code of your page.

As for the combo box, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. You could just draw a DIV put text in it and then use the target tool in the properties panel to link the text or image that links to the page you want it to. If it's an external link you have to type it in as http://www.anypage.com/ etc.

Then the login and password is tricky. The html part isn't too bad, all you have to do is make a form with 2 text fields and a submit button. Make sure to name all the pieces so you can keep track of them. But you have to create a database that goes on the server and keeps all the usernames and passwords for your users and verifies their information when they login. The best thing to do would be to go through the steps of the Dreamweaver help page and if you can't figure it out get back to me and I'll try and help you out with it.

But like I said I'm kind of new to certain things in Dreamweaver myself, so I might not be able to help with certain specifics, but the basics, PHP, Spry, and graphic design are more my strong points.

#1 Here is the code for a combo box with links

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">  <label>	<select name="select" id="select"><option><a href="https://www.test.com/ 1</a></option>	<option><a href="https://www.test.com/ 1</a></option>	<option><a href="https://www.test.com/ 1</a></option>   </select>  </label></form>

Hello I use dreamweaver 8.I know to make a login/registar you will have to use MySQL and php. Should have these on your CPanel.I have read many Dreamweaver books from the library and found this helps a lot.This is not an impossible subject to learn but will need to do some reading and a few sleepness nights
