Hi,

I'm trying to use Microsoft Publisher to design a personel web site. Can
some tell me how can I associate an action when selecting an item into my
list box? I didn't find this in property window...
Thanks in advance,

Asma

That degree of programming functionality is not available with Publisher.

Thanks David for your reply. If Publisher doesn't offer this functionality
then what would be the solution? Use VB??? Could you give me a sample code?
Thanks and regards,

Asma

I think this would depend on what the action you wanted to do actually was
Asma...

If it was something simple, perhaps displaying some text or an alert box to
the user, you could use Javascipt, and the controls onChange event...

Example here:
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/select.html

If you wanted to do something more substantial, perhaps some database work
or whatever, then you might want to look at ASP (Active Server Pages) or
ASP.Net - both of which have some good groups on the microsoft.public news
server.
