HTML - Form: Select Multiple Limit

How can I select the correct field in my "Select form field", once I know the value from php/mysql?

PHP Code:
$_SESSION['job'] = "FX"; 


Now I want to update the form to display the selected value...

HTML Code:

<select multiple="true" name="field">
                            <option value="FL" selected="true">Flash</option>
                            <option value="FX">Flex</option>
                            <option value="AJ">Ajax</option>
                            <option value="PH">Php</option>
                            <option value="HT">Html</option>
                            <option value="JV">Java</option>
                            <option value="CC">C++</option>
</select>

Hey, just a quick question...

How would i go about using an image as a select option in a form? i know its possible as ive seen it around on a few sites before, but im not sure how to do it myself. tried the obvious:

<select name="stars">
<option value="1"><img src="MYIMAGE"></option>
</select>

but oviously that doesnt work.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey,

Using PHP and MySQL but I thought this problem is more suited to HTML (admin, please move if its not).

I have a drop down select form which I want to automatically change the page once the user has selected it. Like a home page of a company and you choose the country, when it automatically goes to the appropirate page. Any ideas of how to do this?

Thanks,

Hello All,

I have recently founded a non-profit performing arts company (www.the roarkfaction.org). We'll be accepting members for $60 a year, payable at once or in monthly increments of $5.00. I've written this HTML code, which, paired with a simple PHP script, sends me an e-mail with details entered:

<form method="post" name="myemailform" action="FormToEmail.php">
<center>
<p>
<label>Your Full Name:</label>

<input name="name" type="text" id="SNN" size="50"><br />

<label>E-Mail Address:</label>
<input name="e-mail" type="text" id="e-mail" size="51"><br />
<label>Payment Preference:</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="yearly" id="yearly" />
<label for="yearly">$60 Once for One Year</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="monthly" id="mointhly" />
<label for="monthly">$5 a Month, For One Year</label>
<br />
<label for="paymeth">Payment Method</label>
<select name="paymeth" id="paymeth">
<option value="1">Please Select One</option>
<option value="cash">Cash</option>
<option value="check">Check</option>
<option value="cc">Credit Card</option>
<option value="mo">Money Order</option>
<option value="pp">PayPal</option>
</select>
<br />
<br /><br />
<center>Click Below to Submit Your Request</center>

<center><input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">



</center></form>

What I'd like to do, though, is have it so if the user chooses "Credit Card" or "Paypal", upon clicking submit the e-mail is still generated, but a _blank is opened to our Paypal page. I have no idea how to do this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Samuel

I've seen it alot of places, though I cannot seem to get my hand on how it works (as I never think about checking the source when I DO see it!)..

How can I get one <select> field option to control another?

Like, say I have a list with:
1 2 3 4
and a list with:
A B C D
..and when I select "3" in the first list, I want the second list to AUTOMATICLY change to "C".

How do I accomplish this?

HTML Code:

<div class="contactlistdiv">
<select multiple="yes" name="send" class="contactlistone" size="6">
<option value="1" >hello</option><option value="2" >gee</option><option value="3" >gluba</option></select>
</div>

I am creating a list like the one above.

When I style it with CSS it wont let me select any options!

E.g if i float left or right(float:right; ) with CSS it wont work.

Where as if I place it absolutely somewhere it will work. Problem is to get it exaclty where I want i need to float it.

I have tried placing it inside a relatively placed div absolutely but it still wont let me select.

I have also tried styling both classes contactlistdiv and contactlistone but it doesnt make a difference.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi All,

I've been asked to make some hyperlinks that automatically select items in a drop down menu in a contact form.

Is this possible if so, how is it done

Thanks in advance

When you create a select form with a default size or a size of 1, the options (once you expand the form out by clicking it) that are moused over will be highlighted. I want that same effect on a select form with a size of 30. I imagine the solution lies in some javascript onmouseover function, but I couldn't find anything. Help?

I have been trying this all day all I get is the easy %50 done... and I can't figure out the second form.

I want the first button to use the entire form to register, and it does..

I want the second button, to just take the first input field, throw the text in there at the end of a specific url, and bring me to that page.

Why is this so hard?
HTML Code:

<form name="trnyjump" method="post">
<input type="hidden" value="ppg" name="path"><input type="hidden" value="1" name="readrules">
<table width="220" border="0" align="center">
<TR BGCOLOR="#000000"><TD colspan="2" ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="TAHOMA" SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF">ENTER TOURNEY</FONT></TD></TR>
<TR BGCOLOR="#000000"><TD WIDTH="40%" ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="TAHOMA" SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF">JUMP = </FONT></TD><TD WIDTH="60%" ALIGN="LEFT"><input type="text" SIZE="10" name="tcount" value=""></TD></TR>
<TR BGCOLOR="#000000"><TD WIDTH="40%" ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="TAHOMA" SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF">NAME = </FONT></TD><TD WIDTH="60%" ALIGN="LEFT"><input type="text" name="name" SIZE="10" value=""></TD></TR>
<TR BGCOLOR="#000000"><TD WIDTH="40%" ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="TAHOMA" SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF">PASSWORD = </FONT></TD><TD WIDTH="60%" ALIGN="LEFT"><input type="password" name="playerpass" SIZE="10" value=""></TD></TR>
<TR><TD WIDTH="100%" colspan="2" ALIGN="LEFT">
<!-- mmmmm buttons -->
<INPUT type="button" value="Register" name=Register onclick="return OnRegister();">
<INPUT type="button" value="View" name=View onSubmit="return OnView" action="/">

</form> 
</TD></Tr>
<script language="Javascript">
function OnRegister()
{
    document.trnyjump.action = "http://cgi4.igl.net/tourneysystem/register.php"
    document.trnyjump.target = "_blank";    // Open in a new window
    document.trnyjump.submit();             // Submit the page
    return true;
}
</script>
<script>
function OnView 
{
	 document.trnyjump.action = ("http://cgi4.igl.net/tourney/ppg/" +form.tcount.value+ "/");
	 document.trnyjump.action = "_blank";
	 document.trnyjump.submit();
 return true;
}
</script>

I have also tried this for the second button... HTML Code:

<script>
function Ontcount(form) {
  if (form.trn.value) {
    var OpenWindow=window.open ("http://cgi4.igl.net/tourney/ppg/" +form.trn.value+ "/");
  }
  return false;
}
</script>

These may not look like they work right now because I have changed them so much thay may not be exactly what I am using... is there anybody here who can tell me how to get this to work.

Hi there

I checked through a bunch of this forum but I can't find anything
on this topic. If it's already been addressed, I'd be thankful if you could point me to the thread. If not, this is my problem....

I need to have 2 drop down menus in the same form, so that
when the user clicks submit (OK in this case) both selected fields
are posted....



Code:

<form method="post" action="show.html"> 
<table>
   <tr>
      <td>Select a color</td>
      <td><select name=color">
                 <option value="red">red</option>
                 <option value="green">green</option>
                 <option value="yellow">yellow</option>
                 <option value="orange">orange</option>
                 <option value="purple">purple</option>
                 <option value="blue">blue</option>
              </select>
      </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Select a shape</td>
      <td><select name=shape">
                 <option value="circle">circle</option>
                 <option value="square">square</option>
                 <option value="triangle">triangle</option>
                 <option value="hexagon">hexagon</option>
              </select>
      </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td><input type="submit" value=" OK "></td>
   </tr>
</table>
</form>

This code displays the drop downs perfectly but only the color
is being posted to show.html

It's something small but I can't figure this one out.

I'm not sure if you can even have 2 drop downs with 1 submit button.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

I am trying to create a FORM with multiple option radio buttons. Basically this is a ready script I found on the internet. I have tried to customize it but there is a slight problem which I have been unable to fix after a lot of tries.

In the below code, I am trying to open the following URLs on submit.

http://www.pixmac.com/pictures/"searchterms"?a=kcalpesh
http://www.crestock.com/image-keyword/"searchterms".aspx/112582/

In both the URLs the "searchterms" is dynamic and will be picked from the input box present in the form.

PROBLEM PART!

On submission, the URL that opens is only up to http://www.pixmac.com/pictures/"searchterms" and the affiliate ID after that gets missed.

Same with the other URL on submission, the URL that opens is http://www.crestock.com/image-keyword/"searchterms" and again the affiliate ID gets missed out.

Below is the complete page code for the FORM. Any help will be highly appreciated.

I am not a coder and have very limited knowledge of HTML / Javascript!!

return false;

I am trying to create a form in HTML that will allow the user to select a department from a drop down and also enter their email address. on submit the form will be sent to the email address corresponding to the department as well as sending the user a copy of the form(the email address they entered manually). This code only sends the form to Dept1 & Dept2. If I move the "email_count" input field before "name1" then it sends the user email and the Dept1 email only. This works great if they select Dept1 each time, not so much if a different department is chosen. Any help would be great!

<input type="hidden" name="email_count" value="2"><!--for email to submitter-->

Here is the option box:
<select name="name_choice">
<option selected>Dept1</option>
<option>Dept2</option> <option>Dept3</option>

Here is my submit code;
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

I hope I've posted this in the right place, apologies in advance if I haven't.

I'm trying to post multiple XML files using a HTML form. The code I'm using is below and although I am able to select multiple files in Mozilla Firefox it is only ever successfully uploading one file.

I need to be able to post 100s of XMLs in a single post, as well as receiving the responses for all uploaded files.

I have no experience in this type of thing before, is someone able to assist me and am I even on the right track? Heeelp!

<h2>Upload</h2>
<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"
action="https://asp.test.com.au/ttms/sandbox/ws/external/public/client-profile-xml/multi/receiver" method="POST">
<input type="file" name="linkfile" multiple="multiple">
<br/>
<input type="submit">
</form>

Is there an upper limit on the number of files that can be uploaded into a single website folder?
I highly doubt I'll ever have to worry about that, just curious. I remember from DOS days, and early Windows, that there was an upper limit on the number of files one could place into certain directories (a bit over five hundred for the root directory, if memory serves right). Was wondering if there is a similar problem with web folders.

How can I limit the number of characters that will be shown from a field of a DDBB on a td ?

Thanks,

Ignacio Francisco Penin
