    Default Dreamweaver MX - jump menu problems

    Hello all, I have done a lot of searching and reading of my Dreamweaver MX
    Bible, and still cannot find an anwer to this question. I have created jump
    menus many times in the past and I thought that it was possible to make a jump
    menu a library item. After I had problems I did a google search and I have
    found documentation that says it is indeed possible. However, this is the
    problem that I have:

    I am trying to create a jump menu on my home page with about 30 items. I find
    a table cell that I want to locate it, then I go to Insert->Form Objects->Jump
    Menu. The Menu dialog box pops up and I enter the information manually of where
    I want each link to go to (initially I had copied and pasted a bunch of option
    values from another jump menu but that didn't work so I typed them all in
    manually). I also select "Insert Go Button After Menu". In order to get the Go
    button to work, I select the pull down menu and go to behaviors, then nix the
    behavior associated with it. I then click on the Go button to make sure that it
    still has a behavior assigned. It does. I preview in IE and or Firefox, and the
    jump menu works.

    I then click on the Form tag and then add it to my Library. I create a new
    HTML page and drag the library item into the Body, and when I preview, it
    doesn't work! In IE I get an error saying "Object Expected". I look back at the
    code and the code has changed! The button tag looses the onClick behavior. If I
    retype in the behavior in the HTML code, I get an error saying "This action can
    only be used if the document or current document frame contains a jump menu". I
    also get an error that says "Error: Dreamweaver could not find the originally
    chosen Jump Menu in the current document. This error could occur if the menu
    has been moved, renamed, or deleted."

    I have tried this on a few different machines to ensure that I didn't have a
    corrupt Dreamweaver installation. I also downloaded MX 2004 and it had the same
    problem, so obviously I am doing something intrinsically wrong. I really hope
    that having some fresh eyes and minds can help me clear up the problem. I am at
    my wits end.

    Thank you very much in advance.
