Menu and Show Hide Layer (broken in IE6)

I'd like to show a different layer in the right column depending on what's
chosen from the menu. I'd like to avoid having a jump menu to individual pages
because the layers really just contain a series of links. Seems cumbersome to
have a different page for just a set of links. So I thought I'd try to use
layers.

Right now I'm just testing with "African Studies" and "English". Works fine
in FF and NN8, but not in IE6. I'm not surprised, but I don't know where to
start looking for a fix.

(Also, IE6 can't seem to find map.swf under "Choose by Region" but FF and NN
work as expected.)

Thanks!

You need to approach this a bit differently -

the call needs to go on the <select> tag, not the <option> tag, and it needs
to use the selected result of the select tag to choose which layer to show.
I believe Mick White has posted in the DW forums about how to do that - you
might want to search Google for his post -

By the way, well formed HTML will not allow spaces in form element names as
you have.
