Drop Down Menu - adding link to web page

Hello from a Newbie!

I am building a website that requires a dropdown menu that will link to another page on the website. This is the Virtual Steam Car Museum web site. So I need to connect from Aiken in the list of steam car makers to the Aiken page that I have already built. Putting the names of the steam car manufacturers in was easy and when I hit F12 to preview, they all drop down very nicely, but I cannot get them to connect to the related page that has information on that particular manufacturer.

The code my daughter copied from the web is below. My problem is figuring out what the URL needs to be. I have tried everything I can think of starting with http or www, with or without the quotation marks, etc. The name of the necessary page is Literature, Aiken.htm, but putting that into the "URL" in any format does not work. What am I doing incorrectly?

Thanks for your help!

RE: Drop Down Menu - adding link to ... (in reply to Don Hoke)

Your page name "Literature, Aiken.htm" is invalid. I suppose you meant "Aiken.htm"?

Anyway, here is a template you can follow.

<form name="myjumpboxform">
<select name="jumpbox1"
OnChange="location.href=myjumpboxform.jumpbox1.options[selectedIndex].value">
<option selected>Please Select...
<option value="page1.htm">Aiken, William B. - Baltimore, MD</option>
<option value="page2.htm">American 1900</option>
<option value="page3.htm">American 1922</option>
</select>
</form>
