How to create a web page with scrolling menus to specific entries

Mar 11th, 2005

Hi,

I need a simple web page with following scrolling menu
that has following choices:

-My network nodes (by their ips)
-My network nodes (by their host names)
-My network nodes (by their locations)

for the 1st choice, the html page that will be displayed would be "ips.html"
for the 2nd choice, the html page would be "hosts.html"
for 3rd choice, the referred web page would be "locations.html"

The reason is that I need people of my network to be able to
access the list of our computers by ips, host names..etc

I have an idea how to create the scrolling menu, but I dont know
how to link the 3 choices of that menu to my 3 corresponding
html pages.
If that's not possible with HTML, please guide me with an easy alternative
using of course html and other simple scripting

Thanks for helping.
