Troubleshooting jump menus

After a user selects a jump menu item, there is no way to reselect that menu item if the user navigates back to that page, or if the Open URL In
box specifies a frame. There are two ways to work around this problem:

Use a menu selection prompt, such as a category, or a user instruction, such as “Choose one”. The menu selection prompt is reselected
automatically after each menu selection.

Use a Go button, which allows a user to revisit the currently chosen link. When you use a Go button with a jump menu, the Go button
becomes the only mechanism that “jumps” the user to the URL associated with the selection in the menu. Selecting a menu item in the jump
menu no longer re-directs the user automatically to another page or frame.

Note: Select only one of these options per jump menu, in the Insert Jump Menu dialog box, because they apply to an entire jump menu.
