>>On my system the Archives dropdown goes down 3 entries to "Downloads" (as expected) but it also *opens* that link.

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!

"Normal" - I disagree. This is the *only* site where I've seen this behaviour.

I do agree that it's possible to make this happen; I just question its application here.
