I am trying to have a dropdown that when selected it would drop down to a specific line in the html page:

Example:
If you selected 12 display 'SUBPROG1 message' That would dropdown to 12 display 'SUBPROG1 message text

<FORM action="post">
<select size="1" NAME="link00002" style="width:400">
<option value="#SUBPROG100002">12 display 'SUBPROG1 message'
</option>
<option value="#SUBPROG100004">18 display 'fatal error in subprog1'
</option>
</select>

<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="but00002" value=GO onclick="return butCheck_onclick(link00002)">

<pre>
8
8 display "in subprog.cbl".
9 display passed-data
10 move 'AAAAAAAAAA' to test-field
11 if test-field = 'FATAL ERROR'
12 display 'SUBPROG1 message
13 display 'test-field =' TEST-FIELD
14 perform fatal-error
15 end-if
16 goback.
17 fatal-error section.
19 move 12 to return-code
20 goback
21 .
22
</pre>

</FORM>12 display 'SUBPROG1 message' 12 display 'SUBPROG1 message

You can jump to a named anchor in the page by setting the location.hash property with javascript. See my example below...

Is this what you mean?

<form>
<select onchange="document.location.hash=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
<option value="1">Read about item 1</option>
<option value="2">Read about item 2</option>
<option value="3">Read about item 3</option>
<option value="4">Read about item 4</option>
<option value="5">Read about item 5</option>
</select>
</form>

 
<a name="1">Item 1 text</a> 
<a name="2">Item 2 text</a> 
<a name="3">Item 3 text</a> 
<a name="4">Item 4 text</a> 
<a name="5">Item 5 text</a>
