On-page drop down menu for external links

    I am having trouble adding drop down menus on my site with external links. It is not a main menu for my site, so I can’t use the WP generated ones, and it will be different on different pages, so I don’t want to use a widget. If at all possible, I’d like to do this in HTML.

    I did try the form generator but that does not allow me to have clickable links in the menu (also it adds a “submit” button which I do not want) Here is the code I used:

    <select>
    <option value =”none”> Text</option
    <option value=”link”>text1</option>
    <option value =”link”>text2</option>
    <option value =”link”>text3</option>
    <option value =”link”>text4</option>
    </select>

    For some reason, this shows up as 5 different drop down menus with one choice each. The HTML editor on the page changes my code to do this. Is there a step I am missing?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    You cannot use the HTML for dropdowns here at wordpress.com. You can use the HTML for a scrolling text box as explained in this post by timethief. Even though that is aimed at text widgets, it can be used in posts or pages as well.
