Pulldown Link List
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Here is a working example of a pulldown list for linking to pages from h2g2. The code is shown below.
- To link to pages inside h2g2 you need to use the "A99999" form for the URL.
- To link to users inside h2g2 you need to use the "U99999" form for the URL.
- To link to things outside h2g2 you need to use the full URL as in the douglasadams.com example
Thanks to Skeleton (ACE) for some suggestions that helped improve this code.

Here is the code for the pulldown links list shown above.
Just cut&paste it into your homepage. Your homepage needs to be set to GuideML or HTML content - Plain Text just won't cut it.
Put the code wherever you want the list to appear on your page.
<P ALIGN="center">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javaScript">
<!--
function goLink(link) {
window.location.href = link;
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
<FORM NAME="listLinks">
