if you mean putting 'inlineframe' for the target and the iframe name, then that should work :)

to change the color:

<form name="plkcmenu" ACTION=URI>
<font face="Verdana" size="2" color= #e48bff>
<select name="menu" onchange="jump(this.form)">
<option value="0"style="background-color:#000000; color=#e48bff">???</option>
<option value="0"style="background-color:#000000; color: #e48bff"></option>
<option value="0"style="background-color:#000000; color: #e48bff"></option>
<option value="main.htm"style="background-color:#000000; color: #e48bff">Home</option>

you need a drop down menu that targets frames:

http://www.lissaexplains.com/fun.shtml#dropframe

in the code you will have this part:

window.open(form.menu.options[myindex].value,
target="yourframename");

change "yourframename" to the name of your iframe.

Love,

hey starlet, i'm just wondering, how was that double posting? since.. the first message was @ 7:58 and the second was at 8:06.. that's 8 minutes apart, so i couldn't have edited it. just wondering :D

Double post = Posting twice in a row
Its not a bad thing, like you said you couldnt have edited it yourself but i was editing your post anyway so i figured i'd merge the two together :)

only thing....is there a way to make font bold/underlined and centered in menus or no?

you're welcome!

i'm pretty sure you could just use <b> for bold and etc., but i'm not positive, sorry :)

In the SELECT bit add...

style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"
I think that should work.
