Al,

That part is very normal. If you open the dropdown and click on an item, it opens the link (because of the OnChange=GoURL(this) that's in the definition of the dropdown) so you don't have to click a submit button or something. The thing is that when you scroll, it's a change, and therefore the javascript GoURL executes, which opens the link. Just create a dropdown on a form in VFP, put a messagebox in the InteractiveChange event and it will fire everytime you scroll. Same thing here!

You could argue that this makes the wheel completely useless, and I think you're right, but then again I don't like Java/Javascript/VBscript (the last one no longer beeing a problem since I'm running Linux). I tried turning all those things off, but then most sites don't work properly after that.
