drop down list query

[leoo24]

hey guys :)

now i had normal, non-spiderable dropdownlist, the list items gets spidered ok just not the link, so is there any problem with the following, it seems to work ok:

<select id="gowhere" onchange="go(this)">
<option>-Select location-
<option value="page1.html"><a href="page1.html">Link name</a>
etc
etc

as opposed to

<select id="gowhere" onchange="go(this)">
<option>-Select location-
<option value="page1.html">Link name

cheers :)

Whoa, that is SO clever! I love it!

I don't see why those links wouldn't get spidered, but it's very easy to test. Put a sample page up and see if the SE's follow the links.

they will spider it, they spider the text in dropdowns no probs, i just wanted to see if anyone knew of this causing any issues at all :)

i was pretty excited by it too :)
