The Question Applet

Description

The Question applet lets you ask a question and navigate to one of several URLs based on the reply. It's useful for taking surveys or getting people to one of several different URLs within a website in one jump. The URLs for the destinations can include calls to CGI counters or other mechanisms - any valid URL will work.Size: about 3,500 bytes

Selecting any but the first item takes you to the URL associated with that item. The background color allows the applet to clear its area to some pleasing color while the image loads. The Position parameter is associated with a "border" style layout. This lets you put the pop-up at the North, South, East or West positions on the graphic (south is recommended).

This example is the same, except that the menu is placed "east". Different browsers react differently to these layout instructions. You'll need to test these to make sure they work correctly in different browsers.
