I have just been working on a page that uses three drop down menus. I am using the drop down menu where you just click the menu and the options apear drag to the corect option you require...let go of the mouse and you are sent to the correct page. problem is if a use goes to the first menu and selects option "X" it works ok...but if they return to the main page via the back button and use one of the other menus to chose option "A" that will still be sent to the page for option "X" because that option is still set in the menue 1. Is there any way i can make my menus refresh ????

Thanks in advance.

Use JS to deselect the option in menu 1 if something is selected in menu 2 .. etc.

What kind of menu is it?
<select> or DHTML?

Hi DrDoc.

How would i de-select the options on the other tables when an option is selected.

This is a snippet of code from my drop down menus...

<p align="center"><!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan --><form name="jump" onmouseover="self.status='My Pulldown Menu';return true">
<select name="menu" onchange="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO">
<option value="http://www.clickforchoice.co.uk">Home</option>
<option value="javascript:history.go(-1);">Back one page</option>
<option value="http://www.clickforchoice.co.uk/docs/help">Help</option>
<option value="http://www.somesite.com/link4.htm"></option>
</select>
</form>
