HTML - Html Form Help: Drop-down Boxes

Here is the page I am working on:


http://pharosgroup.net/index.php?opt...=article&id=79


From Leadership Competency downward, I am trying to align those drop down boxes so that each of them are the same no matter how long or short the question is. It seems all questions that take up two lines have the boxes all the way to the right by default and its perfect just the way I want it! However I cannot get the rest to matchup correctly, any tips or help would be great! I do have Dream weaver also but cannot figure it out! I can also post the code if it will help.

Hey there, not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. (Did look to make sure but wasn't a 100% positive)

Anyway, I'm pretty familiar with the basics of html. I can read it and understand what most of it says. My first question is, do you think frames would be a good idea here ??I don't work them often so I'm not too familiar with them but I do understand how they work. I was thinking just two side by side or would I need to do one on top & two side by side. Nothing would alter above the main image so it's why I didn't think it was necessary. But again, not an expert.

Second question. On this on this page is more complicated. I know about drop down boxes but what I was thinking of have it has it is now except the dark purple not show until you click on the letter you want. (I know that sounds like a normal drop down box but I'm not sure how else to explain it) Just wondering if that was possible to do without it being too difficult.

<3 thanks a lot everyone. I appreciate all help.

First I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, it might need to be in a different language section. Sorry for that if it is.

I need to create a set of drop down boxes, most likely 6. Each box needs to have 4-5 different options in it. There is no order in which they need to be set up because the user HAS TO be able to start with whatever box they want. From their choice in the first box, certain selections in the other drop down boxes would have to be eliminated. Same with the second, third and so on. There can be no predetermined order of what one they start with because not all the boxes will apply to every user.

Another way to imagine the basic concept if I am not clear enough is go to any car website like kbb.com. When you first select the company who makes your car, Honda for example, the next box over will bring up a list of all the cars Honda makes. Then when you choose the car, Accord for example, the next box will give you the option of the manual or automatic and so on. I am kind of looking for this functionally, but I need it to be where you can start with any box and no matter what you choose in the first box, it does not eliminate all other choices, just 1 or 2 from each box (based on the selection).

I know this is kind of hard to understand, it is even harder for me to describe. lol. If you can give me any help that would be wonderful, even if it is just a language this would be able to be accomplished in. I would really like there to be a web version for a website as well as a stand alone program to run on computers (this will probably be done in C# I am guessing).

Thank you so much,

Hi all.

I've been updating a website that now has a list that is getting to big and takes up abit of scrolling.

Can anybody direct me to code that allows me create drop down boxes for each catagory that lists the html pages. When the user selects the page from within the drop down box it either goes straight to the page or they need to click "go".

Cheers.

Would it possible to use the iGoogle api to drag and drop boxes around ?

Could you indicate me the link ?

thanks

We are doing a website for our shop and need a place where our local dealers can come online and see what we have in stock. i need to have 4 drop down boxes:
1) rim size,
2)brand
3)offset
4)bolt pattern.

but they dont have to have all 4 criterias to seach so they can search all the 20 inch rims no matter what brand. i was thinking this is something similar to the one on cardomain.com (towards the middle of the left side. it says browse community and then has 2 boxes and a go button).

please advise. thank you

Why do the images in the background show through the drop in box on my site?

Should I put all the information within a table in the drop in box?

Thanks

Hello,

I was just wondering if anybody can help me I'm having a few problems designing my website and I've gone through all the code but can't work out what I doing wrong.

I basically want to put an image (box.gif) behind the text in my website.

I've attached the image (box.gif) and the index.php as a text file. Can anyone see where I am going wrong and why the image is not appearing behind the text - i've been going through the html for a few days now and still can't seem to fix the problem.

An example of the boxes would be the grey boxes below the large image at www[DOT]englandathome[DOT]co[DOT]uk

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi All,

I have come across a scenario where user enters credit card number. So I need to display user typing text (card number) as "*" in the text box. So I went and coded as password field since password box always mask user inputs.

<input type="password" name="f1" value="">

But on hitting submit button, Mozilla firefox browser shows a pop up if I need to remember the password or not. My client dont want to display this pop-up.

Can anyone pls tell me how to create a text box (not password box) to show user input as "*" so that it looks like as password box.

Thanks in advance.

Please help. This is what I have so far http://bartletagency.com/m/x2.php

Now, obviously with business cards there many different options. I need something to calculate on the side the total after picking each drop box option, or if easier, after hitting "calculate total." (preferably with the numbers in a table so I can make it appear by itself right underwear the send button) . Example: 1000 business cards in blue, say, would need to come up at 50 dollars if they pick 3-1, but if they pick 3-22 it needs to come up 60 dollars

if they pick the other color, green, and pick 3-1, the label would need to turn to $55.00, if they pick 3-2 with the color green the label would need to say $65.00

how can i do this please?

here is the code I have which made up the PHP file i linked you to above.

thanks so much

I have a form on my website.

Is there anyway that I can have the box filled with the email address and grayed out, un-editable?

Regards,

I kinda know how to add a scrolling box function to a post, but there's this problem I have with putting certain things inside of the box.

So i somehow managed to get another post in scroll before when it was long .. but I CANNOT get this one to work! i mean. it only puts one part of the post inside of the scroll box. . Help greatly appreciated!

I added this at the beginning of the post:

Code:

[dohtml]<center>><div style="width: 430px; height: 100px; overflow: auto">

because somehow, that worked for the other post i did. i did use closing tags. So when I added that code to the original post, all that happened, was that the first part of the post was able to get inside of the box and everything else was left out. I know somewhere in there, there's conflicting tags .. or something! lol not sure. Help gladly appreciated!

I'm trying to type HTML code into a scroll box so people can copy it and paste it onto their own sites, rendering an image. Problem is, the code renders the image inside the scroll box, when I only want the code text. How do code it so that the image doesn't render, and only the code text is displayed?

Hello, I'm fairly new to HTML and scripting and could use some help.

I'm setting up an HTML form with a CGI script (script1) and submitting data to another CGI script (script2) with the POST method using enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded". I create my form page with script1 based upon files and it will create a number of check boxes. My problem is that I do not know exactly how many check boxes are created.

If they are checked they submit a value, however, if they are not checked, they are not listed in the Query String. So script2 does not know if there is an unchecked check box after the last checked one. Is there an option or a different enctype that will submit their value with a NULL string if they are not checked? Or is there any other way to get around this issue?

Any Help you can give me is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
