I know how to make a basic one, but this is what I need... I want to have 4 drop down menus, with about 4 choices in each one. Under them I need a 'Submit" button. Basically, I need it so that any combination of the 4 choices in the 4 menus will open a specific page. For instance, lets say in menu 1 I pick the word "cat". In menu 2, I pick the word "dog". In menu 3 I pick the word "car". In menu 4 I pick the word "tree". Once I click submit, a page with a picture of a cat, dog, tree and car would open up. (I would provide all the possible different pictures). So how would one do this? Any help is GREATLY appreciated, thanks! Hi, Basically i have an index page with two frame, a navigation frame for the top and a main frame for the information, i have a drop down menu in the navigation frame. But the problem is, the drop down menu cant all bee seen when it drops over the main frame. Does anyone know a solution to this problem, i tried using an Iframe instead of normal frames, but that leaves a big gap between the end of the drop down menu and the start of the information. I have also tried using the <div> tags this also didnt help, i was wondering if there is a way to set the order in which the frames are displayed,so the navigation frame is displayed over the main frame. Any help would be great. Thanks for your time. mmarab. Hi All! I would like to make a drop down box with all the departments of my company. Basically the user would select a dept and without refreshing or opening a new page the information would appear below. I have seen this before using a database but is there a way to do it without? Dear HTML Experts, I need your help, I would love to have a dropdown menu. Which drop out of a image? Like when your mouse is at the image, the menu shows up vertically? Thanks Hey, Kinda new to this so bare with me. Im using Trellian web page to do some updating on our companies' website and they just asked me to make up a sort of parts catalog for our inventory we have here. I thought the best way for the person visiting the website to find the parts they need is to have drop down menus.Ive been trying so hard to make this but i just keep failing. This is what i want to do. The first one would ask "Make..." they would click that and scroll down the list to find the Make of their machine. Once they click their machine, another drop down menu would appear underneath of that asking the model and the menu would contain all the models associated with the make of the machine. And i want to have another one appear under that once they click on the model. Is there anything or any place where i can find a nice tutorial on how to make this dream come true.....? something like this http://www.wengers.com/Parts/TractorParts.aspx I have a drop down menu on my page, and I want to change the background color of the box from white to match the rest of the page, how do I do this.

I am looking for the best solution for searching a database. The database will for example contain USA States and Cities with the final result being an item or thing etc. that the search criteria points to. Let's say for example I want to know where all the Dentists are in the State of Maryland. I found this example below and It creates the option to choose a state however how do you make it accept your choice once chosen and go to the next webpage for the next lookup or whatever you decide to have it do next. I guess what I am asking is how do you make a Search or Go button take you to your drop down search criteria. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html><head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=unicode"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.3429" name="GENERATOR"></head> <body><select name="state" size="1"> <option value="NA" selected="">Select A State</option> <option value="Blank">--------------------</option> <option value="AL">Alabama</option> <option value="AK">Alaska</option> <option value="AZ">Arizona</option> <option value="AR">Arkansas</option> <option value="CA">California</option> </select> </body></html> Thanks for any assistance... I am sure there is a simple answer to this I want to create a drop down bar using images, like the one on this page: http://www.teamtalk.com/ I already have the images which I want to use. I have scoured the internet for how to do it and tried many, many tutorials but I don't understand how to do it. Please help! Id like to do a drop down menu similar to there's... is there any simple way of doing this?! I have the following drop down menu. HTML Code: <form> <select name="menu" style="font-family:'Arial';color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#000000;font-size:10pt;"> <option value="no link no action">title of menu</option> <option value="url 1">link 1</option> <option value="url 2">link 2</option> <option value="url 3">link 3</option> <option value="url 4">link 4</option> </select> <input type="button" onClick="location=this.form.menu.options[this.form.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO" style="font-family:'Arial';color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#000000;font-size:10pt;"> </form> Here is a screen capture of what the menu looks like. It's at this point I want no action to take place when "go" is clicked. As it is now (above code) it refreshes current page. My question is how do I change this so that the first "option" has no action when chosen and then "go" is clicked. As is is right now it refreshes the current page being that between the quotes <option value=" HERE ">title of menu</option> there isn't a link because I don't want this option to do anything. Basically when the drop down menu shows "title of menu" and I click on "go" I want nothing to happen instead of a refresh. Hi all, I can't for the life of me get the submenus to work. Here is my basic code and style sheet. How and where do I get a sub menu working on the navigation to display when you hover over it. I.E. hovering over 'News' displays sub menu of 'today', 'tomorrow'... So, I am new to html, but I want my site to have a drop down menu, much like that of IBM's. http://www.ibm.com/us/en/sandbox/ver2/ Is this even possible with HTML? If so, where do I start?
