Drop-Down List...?

by Kouu-Chan October 27th 2009, 1:36 am

Code:
<div id="EchoTopic"> <form name="jump2"> <select name="menu" onchange="location=document.jump2.menu.options[document.jump2.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO"> <option value="">TITLE OF DROP-DOWN LIST HERE</option> <option value="LINK HERE">SELECTION TITLE HERE</option> <option value="LINK HERE">SELECTION TITLE HERE</option> </select> </form> </div>

I don't really understand that. Whenever I try it on my forum, it always comes out like it put up there accept with my

Title of Drop-Down List
Link
And selection title

The rest I really don't understand. Can someone help me with that?

Please and Thank You ~

You just don't have to put it you also have to edit it

you have to edit everything given in caps or in capital letters with what the letters are saying

Like when it says Title of Drop Down List you have to replace it and type the title of your drop down box

and do the same with the rest

I know that. But what I don't understand is what I have to fill in. All I really understand is 'Title of Drop-Down List' , 'Insert Link here' and 'Selection title'. The rest... I can't understand...

well just copy the whole code and place it in your forum where ever you want

and in the Title of Drop down List type the title you want it to display when some watches it

like place Quick Jump

and when you will see the drop down code on your site it will show you Quick Jump autometically

and in the insert link you will place a link like if you place a link to forumotion and then in selection title type forumotion

and when you will click on the quick jump it will open a drop down menu saying forumotion and when you will click on it it will take you to the forumotion

like here is a preview

Code:: <div id="EchoTopic"> <form name="jump2"> <select name="menu" onchange="location=document.jump2.menu.options[document.jump2.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO"> <option value="">Quick Jump</option> <option value="http://www.forumotion.com/">Forumotion</option> <option value="http://help.forumotion.com/">Support Forum</option> </select> </form> </div>

Try putting this code and you will see the changes

<div id="EchoTopic">
<form name="jump2">
<select name="menu" onchange="location=document.jump2.menu.options[document.jump2.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO">
<option value="">Quick Jump</option>
<option value="https://www.forumotion.com/">Forumotion</option>
<option value="https://help.forumotion.com/">Support Forum</option>

</select>
</form>
</div>

Is it supposed to come out like that? What the fuck ?!?

i think that you are using the wrong code

and html don't work in the posts on forumotion

Try using this code

Code:: <div align="center"><div id="EchoTopic"><form name="jump2"><select name="menu" onchange="location=document.jump2.menu.options[document.jump2.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO"><option value="">Quick Jump</option><option value="http://www.forumotion.com/">Forumotion</option><option value="http://www.forumotion.com/">Forumotion</option><option value="http://www.forumotion.com/">Forumotion</option><option value="http://www.forumotion.com/">Forumotion</option><option value="http://help.forumotion.com">Support Forum</option><option value="http://help.forumotion.com">Support Forum</option><option value="http://help.forumotion.com">Support Forum</option></select></form></div></div>

Incorrect. You can set HTML on/off for posts.

Are you trying to place this in a widget, post or somewhere else?

in here it will just show a code

Kouu-Chan, no one is saying to paste the code here in this thread.

Try it out in the homepage message first before you add the code as a widget :

Administration Panel
Display tab
Homepage -> Generalities
Paste the code in the homepage message, and then save. After doing so, visit your forum index, and the drop-down list should appear right below your navigation bar.

Check your facts

Tilum, as experienced as you are, the meaning of that statement could have gone two ways. Forumotion as in the support forum, or forumotion as in our forums. Drop-Down List...? Redface
