All, 

Here is my situation: 

I have a customer that needs a select box that can have any number of items 
in it. Those items can link to internal pages, external pages, or assets. 

My first thought was list with following pages, which works alright, but 
the assets exist in multiple database based asset folders. Moving those 
database based folders to file system based folders would mean that we 
would lose any linking to the assets in those folders. The site is a decent 
size and has many, many documents that are all correctly linked at this 
point. 

So my second thought was (as ugly as it is) have the tech. for the side 
hand-code the drop downs, inserting the ugly GUIDs for pages, and the path 
to the cached files. So right now this is what we have: 

 <select>
>     <option>Select A Form</option>
>     <option value="[ioID]1BC27CB5C81646988BCB6955544FD6DD">Animal
> Tissue Pickup Request</option>
>     <option value="[ioID]A6D2C1F8DA9748D995057DD7E351F154">Biosafety
> Protocol</option>
>     <option
> value="[ioID]3E110B6564F144F589A4DB4878057A87/OBSSelfAssessmentForm.xls">Bios
> afety Self-Assessment</option>
>     <option
> value="[ioID]04994206236C4CE59EDFED36BF3A5F3F/ApplicationRadiationDosimeter.p
> df">Campus Dosimeter Application</option>
>     <option
> value="[ioID]29FE37F7DB3A4C1B95C58C942E39B68F/ChemicalInventoryForm.xls">Chem
> ical Inventory Form</option>
>
>  </select> 

 <button type="button" class="surfto">Go!</button>

 

And this works for the first 2 values, but after that the CMS doesn't seem 
to know what to do. Here is where it is trying to go:

For a file:
[ourcmsinstall.com]/cms/WebClient/[ioID]3E110B6564F144F589A4DB4878057A87/OBSSelfAssessmentForm.xls

And a page: 
[ourcmsinstall.com]/cms/WebClient/[ioID]CBAE680ED571454F8276230CB716414B



Anyone have any ideas as to why some of the items would work and others 
would not? Any solutions you've used for a similar situation?
