I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to follow you. Can you please try to clarify what it is you're needing?

From what I see, the best answer I can give at this point is:
you can put the drop down box in a file of it's own and have an include in your script that would include it where you need it...

I'm not quite sure what the point of the javascript function is...

Ok, gotta go with fyrestorm on this. We need more details about what your trying to do. Your javascript box works fine, it just doesn't have options linked to a web server. That's the only thing I see wrong...but you may have already known that. (...that's why we need details.) But in case you didn't know that, you to replace all the C:\mydocuments\mypath\myfiles\ with www.myfile@myserver.com. So whatever those options in the box are supposed to go to need to get uploaded on your server or with your webhosting company and from there you need to change your code like I mentioned above. Hope that helped...

You need to embed your Javascript into your html code. Most often it goes in the head. 

<head>
<title>title</title>
<script language = javascript>
Javascript code 
</script>
</head>


But not always the case.

I ran your code like this though and it worked fine. 

<html>
<head>
<title>title</title> 
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script language = javascript>
Javascript code
</script>
</body>
</html>


I'm guessing you probably knew this too. But the question is probably that you want to put this javascript box somewhere specific....right? I don't know if anyone is really going to be able to answer that for you without seeing the entire script for the page and/or getting specific detail on where you would want this to go on a page. Maybe this will help?

Or maybe this...

Even Better!

hi danlew,

i just copied all your code into an html file, and it worked for me...

can I ask, where you put the javascript function?

I put it after the head tag and before the body tag...
