In HTML you can use the 'select' tag to make a drop down menu. Inside it, you use the 'option' tag to add elements to the menu.

<select multiple name="NAME" size=?></select>
Creates a scrolling menu. Size sets the number of menu items visible before you need to scroll.


<select name="NAME"></select>
Creates a pulldown menu


<option>
Sets off each menu item

For example this will create a menu with two items:

<select name="menu1">
<option>Element 1
<option>Element 2
</select>

To make better use of this, it would be good to learn javascript too.

try

<select>
<optgroup label="Pick One" title="Pick">
<option value="232"> Choise 1 < /option>
</optgroup>
</select>

with optgroup users can't select Pick One, it is just use as a title


insted of

<select>
<option> Pick One </option>
<option value="232"> Choise 1 < /option>
</select>

Just try a search on google about learning html for good resources. I get a lot of my graphic stuff from http://www.guistuff.com because no HTML knowledge is required for those. Plus they have all kinds of other things too(templates,etc.).

Do you want a drop down menue that is just a drop down menu, or do you want to click te options to go to different pages or sites? If you want to be able to click them, Ill give you the code how, it's got css style with it, lol.

Put the following code insite the <head></head> tags...
CODE
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
 eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
 if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}
//-->
</script>


Next, just put this code where ever you want your menu to appear...
CODE

<select name=select id="select" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000; COLOR: #FFFFFF; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 10px" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
       <option value="home.html">HOME</option>
       <option value="links.html">LINKS</option>
       <option value="#"></option>
       <option value="#">--OTHER SITES--</option>
       <option value="http://www.trap17.com">Free Web Hosting</option>
</select>


If you are going to link to other sites, you have to put in ther 'http//'

That is where alot of people go wrong, so on the site, the link will go to 'http://yoursite.com/www.linkedsite.com' instead of 'http://linkedsite.com


I hope this helps you...

Besides Javascript, don't forget about CSS when making dropdown menus!

With CSS, you can make your options look better. You can use color, font, and basically any other generic attribute, even background images (I haven't tested this last one) to make it look cool! Stuff that you can't do with just HTML....

You can combine this with Javascript to make some really cool effects, such as changing the color when you hover over or select an option.

To learn CSS, i suggest htmldog.com. It teaches HTML and XHTML all in one go, without even looking back at old standards. You also might wanna check out w3schools.com, although I find W3Schools to be more of a crash-course site.
