3. Delete the "RESET" button, because you won't need it.
4. Right-click on the pull-down box and choose FORM FIELD PROPERTIES
5. In the NAME field, type page (it will not work if the name of the field is not page).
6. Click ADD and start adding your menu options.
- Put a text description of the link in the CHOICE line (ie: Boone County Outreach and Extension Center)
- Click the VALUE box
- Put the complete URL for the page in the VALUE line. (ie: http://outreach.missouri.edu/boone/)
- Clicking "SELECTED" will force an item to be the default (first) choice. Only one item can be selected.
7. Close the Form Field Properties. Right click anywhere within the form area and click Form Properties
8. Select the radio button next to "Send to Other"
9. Click the OPTIONS button.
10. In the line next to "Action:" type this: /cgi-bin/extension/links.cgi
11. Click OK.
12. Save your file out to your account on outreach.missouri.edu then test the page and the quick finder.
If you want to change the text on the SUBMIT button, right click on it, choose From Field Properties and change "Submit" to whatever text you wish.
