HTML - How Do I Create A Drop Down Menu?
Hey folks!
I guess since I'm new, I can only post in certain catagories. So this is probably not the right place for this thread. (Thats pretty.,uh.....annoying since htmlforums.com is suppose to be a place where people come for help with website construction.) Anyway.,I want to create a drop-down-menu on my pages since I eventually will end up with many. I have a navigation link named 'Archives' on my current pages. I would like to see a drop-down-menu appear when you hover over this link. Can someone please point me to a tutorial on how to do this, or look at my source code/style sheet and show me what to add, and where to add it? (style sheet= http://www.flyfamilyguy.my2gig.com/style.css Thanks! Similar TutorialsHello How can I create the below drop menu in Front Page I find the drop menu in this page http://www.flynas.com/eng/index.html I want create same the drop menu and same the color on it how can i do this in Front Page thank you I want to sell some stuff over the internet like cloths.... And I use Pagseguro (Its a brazilain thing, like paypal). So, I have this wordpress site, with pagseguro plugin installed on it. To add products on my posts I use the following code to get the Add to cart button. HTML Code: <object><form method="post" action="" style="display:inline"> <input type="submit" value="Adicionar ao Carrinho" /> <input type="hidden" name="product" value="[b]PRODUCTNAME[/b]" /><input type="hidden" name="price" value="PRODUCTPRICE" /><input type="hidden" name="addcart" value="1" /><input type="hidden" name="cartLink" value="<?php the_permalink() ?>" /> </form></object> The thing is, the plugin is really simple. All it does is: show "add to cart" button and the "pay" button. And like I said, I want to sell cloths. To sell cloths there got to be the Sizes: "S""M""L" and color. And what I wanted to do is: Create a form like this: HTML Code: <form name="jump"> <p align="center"> <select name="menu"> <option value="URL">Text that will appear in the choices</option> <option value="URL">Text that will appear in the choices</option> <option value="URL">Text that will appear in the choices</option> </select> <input type="button" onClick="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO"> </p> </form> (I found that on http://personal-computer-tutor.com/dropdownlist.htm) On the options there would be the sizes for my clients to choose. And on the "ADD TO CART CODE" (the first code on the top) on the "PRODUCTNAME" part would be a PHP or something that would gather the clients choice and add it there. So when he press the button the product he chose would show on the cart with the size in parentesis. Like this: HTML Code: <object><form method="post" action="" style="display:inline"> <input type="submit" value="Adicionar ao Carrinho" /> <input type="hidden" name="product" value="Alpinestars (<?php GET FORM VALUE ?>)" /><input type="hidden" name="price" value="PRODUCTPRICE" /><input type="hidden" name="addcart" value="1" /><input type="hidden" name="cartLink" value="<?php the_permalink() ?>" /> </form></object> (for the button) and if he chooses small it be like this on the shopping cart: Alpinestars (Small) I know its really difficult to understand My english is really bad. But im really sad because I cant do this by any way. Could yall please help me with my problem? Thank You. not sure if i need a js for this but I have a web page using page jump links to navigate a FAQ page. However, I would rather have a drop down menu/form with the links instead of a list of text links. Anybody have a clue? thanks in advance. This is what I have so far as an example... <form name="jump"><select id="select" name="select"> <option value="" selected="selected">Select</option> <option value="#1">Category 1</option> </select></form> <a id="1" name="1"></a> Category 1 I have an ezine form (below).

Thanks in advance for any help, Jehan Hey guys, Im relatively new to html, although i have a good amount of college programming experience. What im trying to do is create a static menu (home, about us, products etc.) so that every sub page of the site can reference it without needing the menu code as part of that sub page. This is for obvious reasons: if i want to add a menu item, i dont want to have to add its link to the 'home' page, the 'products' page etc. Hopefully this makes sense. If this has been posted before, i would gladly take a link. I tried searching, but am unsure of the proper query (because i barely know how to explain what i mean in english lol) Any help is just awesome. Thanks, Travis p.s. Im no good with CSS; if there is a way of avoiding them that'd be great. This is hobby, and i will learn if necessary but would prefer not to. I would like to create a hierarchical text menu for my site, that does not require me to have a different menu for each page. I am currently creating UL's for each page then adding that to the page to display the menu. Example: Creating page called "Sidebar.htm", adding a UL, then using webbot to add that page to the home page: <ul> <li><a href="foundationvents.htm">Automatic Foundation Vents</a></li> <!---<li><a href="#">Home Insulation</a></li> <li><a href="#">Security Systems</a></li> ---> <li><a href="waterheaters.htm">Tankless Water Heaters</a></li> <!---<li><a href="#">Home Windows</a></li>---> </ul> I then create another page called "Sidebar1.htm", and proceed to do the same thing for the next page: <ul> <li><a href="foundationvents.htm">Automatic Foundation Vents</a></li> <!---<li><a href="#">Home Insulation</a></li> <li><a href="#">Security Systems</a></li> ---> <li><a href="waterheaters.htm">Tankless Water Heaters</a></li> <ul> <li><a href="waterheaters1.htm">How do they work?</a></li> <li><a href="waterheaters2.htm">How much can I save?</a></li> </ul> <!---<li><a href="#">Home Windows</a></li>---> </ul> There has got to be an easier and more organized way to create a hierarchical text menu and I would appreciate any suggestions about how to do it. Thanks, Chuck 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. Hey guys, I am very new to web design, however have some basic knowledge of html.

Is anyone able to help me out here? Cheers in advance 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.

Hello All, I am new to coding and looking to self teach myself with the help of this forum so I can design my own web site. 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...

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 Hai everybody.. I want to create a html drop down menu. I created a menu using template toolkit, but i want to create this in html code.Caan anyone help.
