Dropdown link to anchor

I have several very long pages on my site that I’d like to improve navigation for, without breaking each one up into multiple separate pages. Ideally, I’d like to have a dropdown box that contains a list of “sections” at the top of the page. The “sections would be links to anchors on that same page so that when a visitor selects a “section” from the dropdown the browser jumps to the link further down the page (if that makes sense).

I know how to do this with text links, but there are enough anchors (8) that it looks awkward to have them all listed across the top of the page.

Hope that’s clear (and that it’s possible)
