Need a search engine friendly drop down menu

[jonas]

Can anyone recommend a search engine friendly drop down menu. I was told a menu that builds HTML code is best, but I'm not exactly sure what that means. I want to list my pages in the menu, and make sure the search engines follow the links.

Thank you,

Thanks matt. Unfortunately I need something in plain english. I am still learning and thats way above me.

Here you go mate; I assume it is "search engine friendly" since it's basically plain-text: EchoEcho - Drop Down Menu: http://www.echoecho.com/tooldropdown.htm ...

That looks great and easy to use. Thanks tayiper

Oh, and there's one even easier to implement/more engine friendly way (basically, it's just "option" tags), which doesn't require the "from" element at all. Please visit my home-site's index.html (http://tadej-ivan.50webs.com/index.html) page and just copy the code by viewing the source code (the part where it says: "Quick Nav: Site variant ..."); btw. that's easiest to do in Firefox web-browser ...


The code is the following:

<option value="http://some-domain.com">some-domain.com</option><option value="http://some-other-domain.com">some-other-domain.com</option>

That one looks much better. More search engine friendly since there is not java. This is the code?

<div class="align" id="quicknav"><a title="Quick Site Navigation">Quick Nav:</a> <select id="index" name="index" onchange="window.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value"><option value="">Site variant ...</option><option value="">------------</option><option value="http://users.volja.net/tayiper/index.html">Voljatel</option><option value="http://tadej-ivan.50webs.com/index.html">50webs</option><option value="http://ivan-tadej.atspace.com/index.html">Atspace</option><option value="">------------</option><option value="http://satyrhosts.bravehost.com/index.html">Bravehost</option><option value="http://shirker.freehost386.com/index.html">Freehost386</option><option value="http://www.geocities.com/tayi137/index.html">Geocities</option><option value="http://www.satyrhosts2.greatnow.com/index.html">Greatnow</option><option value="">------------</option><option value="http://www.freewebs.com/satyrhosts/index.html">Freewebs</option><option value="">------------</option></select>

Thanks, Scott
