If you have limited space on your page, drop-down lists are an easy way to minimize space consumption for long lists of links or documents. Let's say, for instance, you have a list of links that can be selected by the user. Here's the HTML you can put in the selection page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Link Test</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=#FFFFFF>
<form action="test_response.asp" method="post">
Select link:
<select name="cboLinks">
<option value="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</option>
<option value="http://www.google.com">Google</option>
<option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo!</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go!" name="cmdSubmit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
The code that goes in the response page, test_response.asp, is just this:
<%
Response.Redirect Request("cboLinks")
%>
This code takes the value of the drop-down list and redirects the browser to that link. You should probably add some error checking to make sure that the cboLinks value was actually selected before redirecting to it. You can also adapt this for any type of link or document, including Word, Excel, or even Adobe PDF files. The browser will figure out what to do with the document.
