Pia,

A PHP page needs to be processed at the server side. So if you create a .php page in Dreamweaver and try to view it in your normal browser (ie. looking at the local copy of the .php page on your computer), it's likely your browser will not display it.

You would need to have either a local web server running (such as IIS or Apache) and PHP installed within that web server. You would then type in the local address such as http://localhost/ or the IP address of your computer. The web server takes over and shows you the processed php page.

If you have hosting with PHP supported, simply upload your latest copy of the .php page, and go to the full URL of where it is, eg. http://www.example.com/your-page.php

Dreamweaver tip:

JumpMenu in new window

When inserting a jumpmenu to a page, the only option available for 'open in' is usually 'main window'. There would be other options available if the page was a frameset.

To change the jumpmenu to open in a new window, change the target parameter of the selectbox in your code to 'window.open()'.

eg.
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
