Recordset Paging in a List/Menu

I'm trying to create a dropdown menu to navigate through records from a MySQL database like what you see here:

http://www.buckle.com/jump.jsp?itemType ... iSubCat=11

There's the typical back and forward buttons to go through the pages, but there's also the dropdown menu that has "Page 1 of X, Page 2 of X, etc." I've found every type of navigation for recordset paging in the world EXCEPT this one.

Any ideas?

Without looking at your link, I will say that it's called a jumpbox. Which we've talked about a lot here.

If someone could look at the link...after reading the referenced post above I don't really see how it relates to what I'm trying to do, which is recordset paging in a drop down (list/menu)

Did I miss something? I'm pretty much a newb, but I just didn't see what I needed there...

just looked at it, it is a jumpbox. using onchange, it merely changes the url being used for the page. Nothing more.

Forgive my ignorance, but how do I go about doing that? I've never really seen anything like this and just don't get it...

The jumpbox works just like the "next" and "previous" links. Except in this case it dumping all the possible pages into a select box. It's all in the query string.

I probably haven't done a good job communicating what a newbtard I am. I have absolutely no clue how to do this. Can you give me any code hints or tips? The pages I'm trying to do this on are here:

http://www.joeshirt.com/youth.php
http://www.joeshirt.com/schools.php
http://www.joeshirt.com/xpress.php

If you click a subcat on those pages it will pull up the results page where I need the drop down menu instead of the 1|2|3...

Any help would be greatly, GREATLY appreciated (and thanks to you have already helped...sorry I don't get it)
