Sorry, this can't be done without javascript. Can you not even use an onchange handler?

Effectively, it is still javascript but included within the HTML tag, e.g.
[HTML]<SELECT ONCHANGE="locat ion = this.options[this.selectedIn dex].value;">
<OPTION VALUE="page1.ht ml">My Home Page
<OPTION VALUE="page2.ht ml">Test
<OPTION VALUE="page3.ht ml">Example
</SELECT>[/HTML]

I think you are going to need/want Javascript arrays for what you want, is there any reason you are trying to stay away from using JS?

yeah, this is for a myspace page. im not sure if your familiar with myspace but the use of javascript isnt permitted

I will say that you won't get this done without any javascript or other client side scripting.

o ok. thanks. is there anything i can do that will be similar to what i wanted to do

[AricC]

I don't think so the problem is the re-directing to another page, you will need javascript or another language to do this. Not familiar with MySpace but I've heard they will delete your account for the slightest infringement, if they say no javascript you may be pretty much stuck. If you can't use JS I doubt they will let you use any other scripting language.

yeah. i dont much bout html just some basics...but i want the stuff to stay on the same page...not so much open another page, but like you select an option one pull down box which opens a second pulldown box and an option in the second one would open a small html music player. but if i cant do it i cant do it.
