How do I create a Drop Down List with Hyperlinks as List Items in ASP.NET

[Tony Tone]

Hey Guys,

I am trying to create a DropDownList with Hyperlinks as ListItem. I am
creating a web page with ASP.NET and VB

Any suggestions or Solutions to my problem?

Well you can't because you can't put hyperlinks in an HTML drop down box (a
<select> tag). However you can navigate to a URL, based on the selection a
user makes in a DDL by having URL's for the value fields, setting
AutoPostBack=true in the DDL properties and then put something like

Response.Redirect(((DropDownList)sender).SelectedV alue);

in the OnSelectedIndexChanged event handler.

Well, you can't using the built in one.

You can write your own. Have it pop open a DIV that you position, that has
the links in it, etc. This is a ton of work, but it can be done.
