Comments for Archive navigation drop down lists tag:bradchoate.com,2008://4- 2006-05-20T17:26:05Z The man, the legend. Movable Type 4.1 tag:bradchoate.com,2006://4.2507-comment:4844 Comment from Ed Kohler on 2006-03-20 Ed Kohler http://www.technologyevangelist.com I like the drop-down structure. It really cleans up what can become an unruly list of categories. My only concern would be search engine indexing since search engines don't do drop-downs. Having a secondary navigation such as a link to archives would keep content from disappearing from search engines.

There is a master archive index which has a link to all available entries though.

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function nav(sel) {
   if (sel.selectedIndex == -1) return;
   var opt = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex];
   if (opt && opt.value)
      location.href = opt.value;
}    
</script>

which came from a Widget I have installed called "Monthly Archive Dropdown."
