Hi Group...

I'm using this /old/ method of pulldown menus,
is there another (better) way of doing it? Something
that looks better.

<script language="JavaScript">
function fetch(){
var newtemp;
var tempurl;
var x=document.gotoForm.gotoMenu.selectedIndex;
newtemp=document.gotoForm.gotoMenu.options[x].value;
if (newtemp != null) {
location=newtemp;
}
document.gotoForm.gotoMenu.selectedIndex=0;
}
</script>

<form method="post" action="" name="gotoForm">
<select name="gotoMenu" onChange="fetch()">
<option selected>
Site Index&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
</option>
<option value="&nbsp;">
&nbsp;
<option value="index.html">
Home &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
<option value="about.html">
About Us &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
<option value="designed_sites.html">
Client Websites &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
<option value="banners.html">

<option value="logo.html">
Logos &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
<option value="secure_pricing.html">
Contact Us &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
<option value="web_links.html">
Web Links &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
<option value="credits.html">

<option value="faq.html">
Frequently Asked Questions&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
</select>
</form>
