Java menu script>Menu Make>Drop down menu w/ description

Description: This is your straightforward drop down menu, except in IE4+ and NS6+, a description of each selection is displayed beneath it. Very nice addition to a popular application wouldn't you say?

<form name="a294" >
<select name="a969" size="1" style="background-color:#FFFFD7" onChange="displaydesc(document.a294.a969.selectedIndex)">
<option selected value="http://wsabstract.com">Website Abstraction </option>
