Jump menus
About jump menus
A jump menu is a pop-up menu in a document, visible to your site visitors, listing links to documents or files. You can
create links to documents in your website, links to documents on other websites, e-mail links, links to graphics, or links
to any file type that can be opened in a browser.
Each option in a jump menu is associated with a URL. When users choose an option, they are redirected (“jump”) to
the associated URL. Jump menus are inserted within the Jump Menu form object.
A jump menu can contain three components:
• (Optional) A menu selection prompt, such as a category description for the menu items, or instructions, such as
“Choose one”.
• (Required) A list of linked menu items: a user selects an option and a linked document or file opens.
• (Optional) A Go button.
