Jump menu liked by Google?

| I think I will manage the jumpe menu I asked about below – got a free
extension from PVII – but I would like to hear what you say about jump menus
and search engines. Will they travel the links in a jump menu based on the
<form> and <select> tags? After all the menu is a java script implementation
even though the tags are html. I've had sour experiences with java script
menus before, that Google do not follow. So, should I put regular html links
somewhere else on the pages to make Google follow the links and index the
linked pages?

No. Search engines, including Google, will not follow those links
because they require executing JavaScript to get to the page linked to.
Yes, you'll need real links to those pages if you want a search engine
to find them.
