No, it's a four legged creature.

Arse, on the other hand, is a bad word

I had a feeling that people would react to the bulb-up-ass comment.

Lot's of reactions, but only few of them are useful.

What kind of newsgroup is this?
A group to make fun of someone or a group that really tries to help someone
who's trying to figure something out?

I'm trying to design a website ... sorry for all of you out there if it's
not responding to all of your great expectations. It's not my intention to
shock the world with it ... it only has to be useful for the way I mean to
use it and for the people I expect to visit it.

So I'm asking it again ... can someone tell me how I can open the links in
my menu in the frame below.

Hope I get more sincere reactions this time instead of all that crap.

Thanks again.

This kind of thing can happen at the weekend.

Your design has various problems, the use of frames and Javascript-driven
navigation being the main ones. I really think you should reconsider this
whole approach. However, in answer to your question...

===
<select name="menu"
onChange="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedInd
ex].value;" value="GO">
<option value="">Programma 2004-2005</option>
===

The value of this option is "". What do you expect will happen when you
change the location of your content frame to this value?

Also, your HTML is invalid. To see why, visit
<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...be%2FRock%2520
Monsieur%2Fmenu.htm>

If you don't *understand* why your markup is invalid, then ask here. If you
don't understand why your markup doesn't *work*, it would help if you could
first make sure that it is valid.

I hope this helps.

All your menus drop from the upper frame into the main frame, and I guess,
this is what you need and your top frame is not wide enough to accept the
drop down.

You cannot make a decent menu with just classic HTML. Try DHTML which is a
combination of HTML, JavaScript, and HTML DOM.

However this has two problems:
1. DHTML is rendered differently in IE and NC. At least it was the case
couple of years ago when I practiced it. Doing something for HC was such a
pain, so I decided to sacrifice the NC lovers (they accounted about 15% of
my site visitors) and drop the NC version of the script
2. It is very complicated to make a DHTML menu to drop down from one frame
into another.
There was a very good resource something like DHTML Laboratory (try
http://www.webreference.com/)
This type of menus became very common now - just surf the Web, save it onto
disk and parse to see how it works

Oh yes I can. And what is "classic" HTML? As opposed to [some other sort of]
HTML?

DHTML is simply a word made up by microsoft. It means nothing.

Trying to make a menu with javascript that does not fall back gracefully in
the absense of javascript (and most of them do not) is the same as turning
your server of for six weeks out of the year.

and what about the other couple of hundred browsers out there.

That was not the op's question. The question was how to make the target of
the link render in the other frame.

Can't it be both?
