I am new to web design. I have using Frontpage. I basically want to design a Form with Menus and Submenus. However, when users select the items in the menus and submenus, I would like an option at the bottom to view everything they have selected. I would also settle for a print or email button also. Anything to be able to view results from the menus. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

If you stop using Frontpage that should help you a lot. :)

Do you mean a Drop down menu for your form?

I just started learning as well, and have progessed quickly due to a few key turorials, and the great help from this forum.

If you just want to put something simple together using front page, and that is all, then you can probably mess with it and get what you want. However, if you're open to investing about 3 hours into learning, these two tutorials will teach you a TON in a very short time.

Do this one first: HTML - http://www.echoecho.com/html.htm

Now, I still use front page, however I never ever use the "WYSIWYG" editor. (what you see is what you get). That would be the "normal" tab at the bottom. You really want to just use the HTML tab, and the preview tab. However you really should do all previewing in your web browser, of which FP offers you that option.

Once you feel somewhat comfortable with HTML you can learn CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for positioning, and also for background colors...basically making it look nice.

Here's your 2nd tutorial: http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/hands_on_tutorial/index.html

You definitely want to download the program StyleMaster. It's free for 30 days, however if you're like me you'll feel the $60 is well worth paying to keep using it.

A couple key things to remember. When you are taking any sort of code from a website to "paste" into your HTML tab, you must do something first. You must paste the code into notepad, and then copy and paste it into your HTML tab. If you do not do this, you will get a bunch of extra garbled code, and what you want to work, will not.

Here is my website: www.usejeff.com I didn't know any HTML and started that on the 10th of last month. Granted it's far from amazing, but not bad for a beginner.

Regarding your question... this might be what you're looking for? http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex16/chainedselects/index.htm

I think it might help if you reword your question, and be extremely detailed about what exactly you are trying to accomplish. This forum has extremely helpful people, but they often will skip past you if your question is confusing. They are here strictly in a charitable fashion, so be sure and make it as easy as you can for them to help you.
