HTML - Drop Down List Problems
i want to create a drop down list that lists my favorite films but use my own image instead of a go button show me how to do this and i would also like to add colors to the list so it isn't just black & white and have it automatically sort alphabetically if possible.
Similar TutorialsI've created a drop down list with 4000 options on it which I did from an example I found on line. This is fine - loads quite quickly! I then had to add another 9 fields with the same 4000 options on and now the page doesn't load as quicky as I'd like. I was wondering if there was a way of defining the list of 4000 options once and then asking the ten drop down lists to reference it? I have an issue where a drop down list is displaying diffrent amounts of options on 2 machines. The 2 machines are simillar if not the same. Both using internet explore 6 and windows xp. As an example if you go to the website http://au.asus.com/index.aspx and look at the select country /area drop down box in the top left hand corner computer 1 will display all the options down to romania where computer 2 only shows all the options down to germany. Are there any settings in internet explore or windows XP which could be diffrent between the 2 machines which would cause the number of options shown in a drop down list to differ. Any help would be much appreciated. I recently posted this in the middle of someone else's thread, which wasn't the best thing to do, so here it is again in its own thread. On my web site I have a drop-down menu with a "Go" button beside it. when JavaScript is enabled in Firefox and IE7, selecting an option from the list automatically takes you to that location without touching the Go button. However, when JavaScript is disabled, the drop-down's automatic redirection is also disabled. So you need a "Go" button next to the drop-down bar. This works in Firefox, but it doesn't work in IE7, and I don't know why. Any help would be gratefully received. You can see the drop-down working at: http://www.historyfiles.co.uk/MainFeaturesIndex.htm Here's the script: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <form method="get" action="" tabindex="3" target="_top"> <tbody> <tr> <td height="16"> <select name="link" class="xbar" onchange="if (this.options[selectedIndex].value != '') location.href=this.options[selectedIndex].value"> <option value="#"> Choose a topic </option> <option value="MainFeaturesIndex.htm"> British Isles </option> </select> <input value="Go" src="images/nav-gobutton.jpg" border="0" value="Go" alt="Go" type="image" class="xGo" tabindex="4" onclick="if (this.options[selectedIndex].value != '') location.href=this.options[selectedIndex].value" width="22" height="16"> </td> </tr> </tbody></form> </table> I have 3 radio buttons in my web page and nothing else initially. Say A,B and C. If i choose Radio button A, i should get a drop down menu in the same page. After that if i choose radio button B, the drop down menu corresponding to Radio button A should disappear and drop down corresponding to B should appear. Similarily for radio button C also. All these should happen on the same page. Is this possible with HTML or should i go for some other scripts like java scripts, or JSP etc can anyone help me out with this? Hi all! I need some help with my site. In firefox, the Select Category dropdown under filters (on the left) expands to display the full text of the options. In IE, it doesn't do that - the options are cut off. How do I force that to happen in IE? site is at: www.v_an_darn_.com (remove _ ) Thanks! Hi All, Kindly help me in striking out a single value in drop down list options. I have 3 options - Hello,HI ,BYE. I want to strike out "Hi"when the list is shown, I was able to put color for single option but I could not stike it out. <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .test { background: #708090; color: #DC143C; /*text-decoration: line-through;*/ } </style> </head> <body> <form> Select One: <select id="myList" > <option>Hello</option> <option disabled="disabled">---------</option> <option class="test">Hi</option> <option disabled="disabled">---------</option> <option>Bye</option> </select> </form> </body> </html> Hi All, first post in the forum. I would like to know if it is possible to create a drop down list from which the user could select a value but could also decide to enter a new one ? What I want is to offer the user to select an existing company name or enter a new one, but I would like to have only one field to do it instead of two. Is this possible Thanks for helping. ALex How can I drop down a select list with onmouseover instead of clicking it. Select list cannot be clicked in javascript to emulate that. eg: onmouseover="(this.click())" Also setting the 'size of select list' = 'its length' in javascript does not accurately emulate the click event because the adjacent layout changes. I tried using z-index and position attribute but doesn't help. Hi, I'm new to programming here. How do I enable a checkbox to work with a drop down list? For example, If the value inside the drop down list will only be registered or activated when i check the checkbox. I want to send an order via email to my server and I want the dropdownlist with the checkbox not checked to not display anything. How do i do that? Thanks! Is it possible to choose an image from a drop down menu which would change an image on the page? for example using mouseover you can make thumbnail images or hyperlinks when hovered over, change an image on the page to the image that the link or thumbnail represents. can the same be done with a drop down list when an image number is chosen from a list can a centre image be linked with the choice chosen? So, I'm looking to make a drop down style menu that can be seen on all (or at least the vast vast majority) browsers/universal. Basically, I don't want anything too flashy, but I just have no idea to do any sort of dropdown list aside from the basic html menu and input type of thing. To give an example of something I'm trying to do, I made a simple picture. I'm not looking to make it with flash or anything fancy; as I said, it's really basic and I just want it to be text. Any help or links would be appreciated! Hi, so I know hardly anything about HTML and I am hoping someone can help me....

I have tried everything I know...Ireally dont want to use Javascript, is that the only option? <select name="select" class="style1_1" style="width:150px;" > <% Do While Not rsEaseData.EOF %> <option> <%=rsEaseData.Fields("Serial No").Value%> </option> <% rsEaseData.MoveNext Loop %> </select> Please Help Hello, I have a simple html form drop down list as a quick reference and link to pages on my site. It is not nested with subcategories, however there are still hundreds of options in the list, and it is causing the page load time to slow considerably. When the list is created dynamically it is painfully slow. I tried to speed things up by making a static html file of the code and using INSERTFILE on my pages. This helped a little, but not enough to suit me. Is there a way to cache this code snippet, or something like that, to speed up the load time? Thanks! Hi, I'm being outsourced to turn an image into a website and I've been jumping through hoops all night trying to create a simple drop-down menu... Obviously it's not going well. All I want is that it is no more than 20px high, black no borders, white Arial Black or Verdana 10px all caps BOLD font, text mouseover to #fbb03b.. drop-downs that have a dark grey border on the bottom only (no other sides should have borders) and mouseover to #fbb03b for each link (same text formatting as base menu). This is becoming incredibly difficult for me, and things just keep going wrong. I'm using Adobe DreamWeaver CS4. This project is due in 12 hours, and I haven't slept, so I'm not exactly in for a learning experience right now, I just need immediate and effective help. Please help if you can. Thanks very much. I know, who still uses Netscape? Alas, this will not solve my problem nor please my customer. My drop down menus that should go vertical as you roll over the bar are going horizontal and you can't click on them! Would someone please help me out? www.liftoffevents.com So I'd like to have a 160*600 box with hyperlinks displaying only a headlines I select. I would like the bottom of the box to have arrows for navigating between sections of links that fit in the box with a place to enter a page number in between them. I would like it to begin with displaying the most recently posted links starting on the last page number with that being the first page it displays. I want the bottom of the box to include below the browsing chronological browsing feature an arrow facing left with the word "search" that would open a box with a place to type in text for it to search link headlines. At the bottom of the search box I would like an arrow facing down with the words "search by label". Yes, I would like to not only select a headline for each link but also categorically label them. If I could also select images for it to automatically fill the empty space with when a new page number is started that would be great, even better if it selects ones that fill the most depending on how long the headlines are. If it repeated headlines in extra page space instead of showing images that would be cool too. I'd also like it to automatically expand in height past 160*600 to make a new page number just for a headline that doesn't fit in 160*600. I need this in HTML. My blog is episin.blogspot.com The tutorial on how to make a search form with multiple search options was excellent! http://www.mediacollege.com/internet...ti-search.html However, is it possible to use radio buttons instead of a drop-down list? Can someone be kind enough to show me the code for it? Million thanks. Hi guys, I've been frustrated for awhile trying to fix three of my problems. I just started making a site for myself today, the specific one is http://www.bcsticketsnow.com/rosebowl.html Anyway, I've got three problems, and appreciate any help anyone can offer on any of them: 1. I'm new to frames, and am told to stay clear of it. But I don't know php, so this is the only way I know to make a header, middle and footer on all 20 pages that I'm going to have where I only need to edit one to change all. So I have 3 frames in the frameset, header, mainrosebowl, and footer. I understand that cols="220,*,100" will make the header 220 pixels, the footer 100 px, and the middle part the rest of the window. But I'm trying to figure out a way to have it go deeper than the window. As you can tell, I've got a scroll bar on that middle frame. I want that frame to extend to more than 100% and push the footer below the visible window. So I'm really looking for a big scroll bar for the entire window to scroll down, not a mini scroll bar just for the middle frame. Is this possible? Having the cols add up to only the size of the window isn't what I'm looking for. 2. In the header frame, I've got that drop down menu (says "Bowl Events"). When I put the form in for the drop down menu, it kind of expanded the height of the table. It had less space before in that row of the table with the blue background. When I put the form in there, it kinda messed up the spacing. I essentially want to delete that space below bowl events to make the height of the row of that table like half the size. Any ideas? 3. For that same drop down menu, I'm trying to target each link in that menu to open up a new window (like target="_top"). But putting it after <option value="URL" target=..."> does nothing. Am I supposed to put it in the javascript? Here's what I have now: <script type="text/javascript"> function goToPage(dd) { var ind = dd.selectedIndex; if (ind == 0) { return; } var url = dd.options[ind].value document.location=url; } </script> <form> <select name="eventlist" onChange="goToPage(this); return false;" size="1" style="border: 0; BACKGROUND: navy; COLOR: white; FONT-FAMILY: arial; FONT-SIZE: 15px; font-weight: bold;"> <option value="">Bowl Events</option> <option value="http://www.bcsticketsnow.com/bcschampionship.html" onclick="header.location.href='_top'">BCS Championship</option> <option value="http://www.bcsticketsnow.com/rosebowl.html">2009 Rose Bowl</option> <option value="http://www.bcsticketsnow.com/orangebowl.html">2009 Orange Bowl</option> <option value="http://www.bcsticketsnow.com/fiestabowl.html">2009 Fiesta Bowl</option> <option value="http://www.bcsticketsnow.com/sugarbowl.html">2009 Sugar Bowl</option> <option value="http://www.bcsticketsnow.com/chickfilabowl.html">2009 Chick-Fil-A Bowl</option> <option value="http://www.bcsticketsnow.com/capitalonebowl.html">2009 Capital One Bowl</option> <option value="http://www.bcsticketsnow.com/cottonbowl.html">2009 Cotton Bowl</option> <option value="http://www.bcsticketsnow.com/holidaybowl.html">2009 Holiday Bowl</option> </select></form> I have a problem with my website basically I have a drop down menu and when you click on a specific name it should bring the name/catcode in the next box I have done a primitive example below also I have copied the html code from the page below some of them work and some dont which is really confusing me I havent got a clue what I have to do to get them all to work. I would really appreciate any help or pointers. Example: Drop down menu catcode Action Force A LEGO L Below is part of the pages html which I think is causing the issue. <td style="background-color: #7f7f7f" valign="middle"> <table id="archiveSearch"> <tr> <td style="padding-right:10px"><img id="archiveSearchImage" name="archiveSearchImage" src="images/archiveSearch.gif" alt="Search Archive" width="144" height="37" border="0" /></td> <td style="padding-right:10px"> <select id="categoryDropDown" name="categoryDropDown" size="1" onchange="selectCategory(this)"> <!--<option value="Example" >Example</option>--> <!--<option value="Examples" >Examples</option>--> <option value="A-Team" >The A-Team</option> <option value="Action Force">Action Force</option> <option value="Bionic Six" >Bionic Six</option> <option value="Buck Rogers">Buck Rogers</option> <option value="COF" >Cinema of fear</option> <option value="COTT">Clash Of The Titans</option> <option value="DC Comics">DC Comics</option> <option value="GIJ" > G.I.JOE</option> <option value="LEGO"> LEGO</option> <option value="LOTR"> Lord of the rings</option> <option value="MASK"> M.A.S.K</option> <option value="MISC"> Miscellaneous</option> <option value="MOTU"> Masters Of The Universe</option> <option value="Rock Lords" >Rock Lords</option> <option value="Rocky" >Rocky</option> <option value="SMDM" > Six Million Dollar Man</option> <option value="Star Wars" >Star Wars</option> <option value="Super Heroes" >Super Heroes</option> <option value="Super Powers" >Super Powers</option> <option value="ThunderCats" >ThunderCats</option> <option value="TMNT" >TMNT</option> <option value="Transformers" >Transformers</option> <option value="Visionaries" >Visionaries</option> </select> </td> <td style="padding-right:10px"> <!--<input id="mostRecentButton" type="button" value="Most Recent" />--> <input id="catCode" type="text" style="width:45px" readonly="readonly" /> |
