I have a frontpage drw pick page and display page on my website.

As I have a large selection of items to pick from, I would like users to be able to select a letter at the top of the generated pick page which would take them to the first entry on the pick list for that letter.

Is it possible to do this, and, if so, how?
 
I may not have explained myself properly. The list I am choosing from is on a display page generated by frontpage in drw. It isn't a list I have typed in myself. So I'm not able to set the bookmarks to specific locations on the list.

Is there any other way of selecting individual items on the list without having to scroll the whole list first?
 
I'm afraid not, as it's an intranet.

What I have is an access database set up as a database results region, from which records are selected using a database results procedure.

The picklist shows a long list of names, and a hyperlink then displays only the information for the record selected. What I would like to do is have all the letters in the alphabet at the top of the screen so that the user can go straight to the portion of the list starting with, for example, T rather than having to scroll all the way down the list. As the picklist is generated automatically by frontpage, I don't know if it's possible.
