Java is rarely used for dropdown menu's. JavaScript is the most common
method followed by visual basic. The name similarity (Java & JavaScript) is
confusing to many web surfers.
Java is a full computer language. It is compiled into a binary format and
requires an operating system to read it, On the Win platform that OS is
called the Java virtual machine (JVM). Win XP does not include the JVM but
it is available as an add on download.
JavaScript is a script language that is read by your browser (IE, NS, etc)
it does not require any special add on or download.. Some web surfers
confusing JavaScript with Java will disable JavaScript in their web browser.
To enable JavaScript go here:

JavaScript has a very limited scope, it cannot take over your computer or
share personal information with out your permission. Overall JavaScript is
benign and can cause no permanent damage to your browser or OS. Java is a
standalone OS. Applications or applets written in Java can be directed to
transmit data without your permission. Apps. can corrupt your OS and take
over your PC.
