HTML - Need To Make Drop Down Boxes That Help Narrow Down Search.

Hi,

Please tell me how SEARCH BOXES work?

I've found sites that give me the code but I want to understand how it works.

Thanks!

Let's say I have 2 drop down boxes. Both have the choices 10% to 100%. Can I make it so that depending on what % you choose the submit button takes you to certain links? I'm trying to do what this site did but without all of the country, keyword, sort by etc. I just want one category and the % boxes and that's all. I already have the necessary links so that's not a problem.

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,

Hey all, I've been looking all over the net for a tutorail about this, but I can't seem to find one.

What I'm trying to do is make a drop-down box where you can select an option, press a submit button, and it'll open up a new window *or tab for firefox users* pertaining to that information, such as a site that I choose to link to it. This is the code I'm using for my option box

<div align="left">
<select name="xfer" size="1" style="color:000000;
background-color:226622; font-family:trebuchet ms;
font-size:11px; border:thin solid "ffffff;>
<option></option>
</select>
</div></form>

I'm totally stumped here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

-Cheers, Billy

I have a custom order form where the choices available in one box should be conditional on another one. I want both the drop down boxes to display on the same page.

For instance, the first box has regular, superior and deluxe.

The second box would have red, orange, violet, indigo, blue.

If user chooses regular, all colour options would be available..

If user chooses superior, red orange violet would be available

If deluxe, only red available.

How would I do this?
