Can I Know Where I Can Get A Simple Drop Down Menu??

by tyhodge07 April 4th 2008, 9:36 am

Code:: <BODY><div id=EchoTopic><form name="jump"><select name="menu" onChange="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO"> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option></select></form>

in the URL area add your redirect url, where you want it to take them when clicked, in the Description, add what you want it to say in the drop down for example:

Code:: <option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</option>

and you can also add more to that list.. ive found that only one of these codes will work at a time on the portal. adn whenever you click on where you want to go itll take them

[quote="Decibel"][code]<option value="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">Yahoo</option>[/code]
will open in new window[/quote]

that doesnt work.. i thought it would have, but doesnt.

and to select a default one, just add SELECTED after the

Code:: <option value="http://www.yahoo.com" SELECTED>Yahoo</option>

and i think it has to stay in caps. as far as opening in a new bar, i cant seem to figure it out yet, and the link i just posted doesnt seem to even work when i test it Rolling Eyes

also, to make a main title for your drop down, without having a default.. such as a yahoo or whatever is what ur using show, use this code, which you can change around:

Code:: <option value=''>Please choose</option>

EDIT:

i also just figured out how to add more than 1 of these.. if you want to add more than 1 drop down, youll have to change each one, in the one i posted at t he top it is named jump... so to add another one, youll want to make all the words jump change to jump2 or whatever else you want it to be like:

Code:: <BODY><div id=EchoTopic><form name="jump2"><select name="menu" onChange="location=document.jump2.menu.options[document.jump2.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO"> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option> <option value="URL">DESCRIPTION</option></select></form>

there are 3 spots where ull change it, i changed them to jump2

Hi anonymous001 . . .

This stuff is frustrating, I know! I am using a version of a drop down menu on my portal and it does work. This site I got it from is:

Drop Down List URL Jump Box

I am using the one at the bottom, but I have no doubts that the others work. I hope this helps you . . . Bpoetic
