What do you mean by "dynamic select menu" ?

Add your own locations. I made dashes to avoid opening an unknown site
<form>
<SELECT NAME="list"><OPTION VALUE="JavaScript: noWhere()">
<!-- relative paths to the page you want to link to. -->
<VALUE=Select
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.---.com/xyx.htm">XYX
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.---.com/yyy.htm">YYY
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.---.com/zzz.htm">ZZZ
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Go!" onClick="parent.location= this.form.list.options[this.form.list.selectedIndex].value">
</form>

By dynamic select I mean that options are not hard coded but are generated every time based on some condition. i.e one time options may be 1, 2, 3 and next time there might be 4 or more options. I will have options in an array so basically I need a loop to generate <option > tag.
