Jumplist is a small cgi program that makes it very easy to create a pull-down list of pages to jump to. It could be used to create the menu of your site, or a list of interesting URL's. Here is an example containing some search engines:

You can achieve the same action with JavaScript, but not everybody has JavaScript, and some people turn it off. Jumplist will always work, Javascript will not:

Installation


You need cgi-bin capability on a www server. If you don't have that, then ask your provider to install the jumplist program in the general cgi directory.

Jumplist is available as executable for Windows 95 or NT, or as sources for Unix:

*  Download jumplist-1.0.zip for Windows 95/NT (22kb)
*  Download jumplist-1.0.tar.gz for Unix (2kb)

If you are using Windows 95/NT then simply copy the jumplist.exe program to your cgi-bin directory. If you are running Unix then run "make", no need to configure anything. The program should compile in no time. When finished copy the jumplist program to your cgi-bin directory.

Example


Here is an example of the HTML you can use to start Jumplist:

<form action="/cgi-bin/jumplist.exe">
<SELECT name=url onChange="submit()">
<OPTION value="http://www.altavista.com/">Altavista</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.excite.com/">Excite</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.hotbot.com/">Hotbot</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.infoseek.com/">Infoseek</OPTION>
