Re: Loading into a frame from a drop-down menu.

Try something like this:
- Add this code inside the body tag:
onLoad="document.forms[0].navbox.selectedIndex = 0
- Add the following code in the page itself where you want the drop-down

<form method="post">
<select name="navbox" size="1"
onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_self')">
<option selected value>Here is your drop-down
<option value="./">Home Page
<option value="other.html">Another
</select>
</form>

Just replace the "_self" in the second line with the name of the frame that
you want the link to load into (as it's written, it will load inside the
frame it's in).

If that doesn't work, check out these two scripts I dug up and see if they
do the trick:

http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/menu-frames.html
http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/menu-auto-frames.html

Hope this helps...
