Help on creating a drop down menu in a webpage

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the following website there is a drop down leaderboard:

That I would love to incorporate on my webpage. I have all the minipages and tables set up. I just need help on how to install the menu on my webpage.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

To create menus on webpages you need to use a select form field, I think that's the term anyway - it's definitely a form field.

Any decent web design package should allow you to insert such a thing and sets its properties eg choices easily.

This was created using FrontPage.

<select name="D1" size="1">
<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
<option value="Option2">Option2</option>
</select>

And the HTML is this.

<select name="D1" size="1">
    <option value="Option1">Option1</option>
    <option value="Option2">Option2</option>
</select>

[Edited by Von Pookie~added the closing /select tags to fix HTML display--post was messing up the page display.]

If you look at the webpage, you'll notice the drop down menu brings up different tables inside the webpage. I've tried toying around with it and am so totally lost.

It's a bit more complex than simply creating a dropdown list. Could be why that page is selling the program to do that, hmm?

But yeah--that "example leaderboard" you linked to uses javascript, not just HTML lists and tables. The example on that page is also just a frame displaying *another* page. Looks like the URL for that page is http://www.toppokerleagues.com/LeaderBoard.aspx?lid=B895B284-01D1-4958-AEF2-C99F0CC0E8D6

I would probably say they are selling the program to keep track of your stats and run a league for you.

I've already created an excel program to do that for me. Now I would just like to use a table format similar to that.
