I was wondering is there a way to implement the <select> <option value ="some_link">Link title</option><option....... </select> where the user can select one in the menu and then click a submit button to head to the link without javascript?
My main concern is that users don't have javascript turned on.
Thanks, Jay

Sure, pass the form to a page that uses a redirect to whatever the value of the link was. For example, create a form with the drop down menu and the URL's as the values. Then when the form is submitted it should pass to a page with:
In the above code, it's assuming you named your select drop down select_url. This will simply redirect the user based on a dynamic input, should solve the issue you are having.
<?php
Header("Location: http://$select_url");
?>

Thanks for your advice.
Is there a way to create dynamically generating sub lists without javascript? For example, when I highlight one item on the first list, another dropdown menu below it changes with a list of sub categories based on the selection out of the first list.
If there's a way you know, that's would be fantastic! Since some users turn off javascript is my main reason for doing this.
Thanks, Jay

They would have to click a Next button or something in order to load in a new page to populate the drop down menu, normally I use onchange(this.submit) but since you don't want to use javascript, you would need to provide a next button and then look to see if they had selected a value and generate another drop down menu based on the prior selection.
