Do you mean a drop down menu? If so there is a nice little tutorial on
these at Lissa's site; http://www.lissaexplains.com/fun.shtml

That's a stupid menu that won't work without Javascript.

To answer the OP's question, assuming you have PHP on your server...

<?
$choice = $_GET['choice'];
if ($choice=='WEA3BAS') {
?>
<table></table>
<? } elseif ($choice=='WEA2BAS') { ?>
<table></table>
<? } elseif ($choice=='WEA1BAS') { ?>
<table></table>
<? } else { ?>
<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method=get>
<fieldset>
<legend>Choice of Table</legend>
<label>
Table
<select name=maxfiles>
<option selected>WEA3BAS
<option>WEA2BAS
<option>WEA1BAS
</select>
</label><br>
<input type="submit" value="View">
</fieldset>
</form>
<? } ?>

It is not difficult to rewrite this in other languages (Perl, ASP, etc) if
need be.
