HTML - Drop Down Menu And Javascript
Hi Folks,
I've created a drop down menu and what I want is when the mouseover event is fired to post a small explanation of the currently selected item. I managed to get it working with buttons, but not with the drop down menu. Here is a snippit of my code: ... <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function profile( form ) { form.Instructions.value = "Profile selected" } function employees( form ) { form.Instructions.value = "Employees"; } function menu( form ) { form.Instructions.value = "Menu"; } </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <FORM NAME="myotherform" ACTION="" METHOD="POST"> <select name="Admin Dropdown" style="width:250px"> <option value="Profile" onmouseover="profile( this.form );" />Edit Profile</option> <option value="Employees" onmouseover="employees( this.form );" />Edit Employees</option> <option value="Menu" onmouseover="menu( this.form );">Update Menu</option> </select> <textarea value="Instructions"></textarea> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> </HTML> If I print raw text then the functions will work but it doesn't work when I invoke some manipulation on the form itself. Is this doable? And if so, what am I missing? Thanks! Similar TutorialsHey guys I am build ing a site and wanted to no the best solution for a drop down menu system.

Cheers in advance So, I am new to html, but I want my site to have a drop down menu, much like that of IBM's. http://www.ibm.com/us/en/sandbox/ver2/ Is this even possible with HTML? If so, where do I start? Regards, YahtzeeFish Hi all, I can't for the life of me get the submenus to work. Here is my basic code and style sheet. How and where do I get a sub menu working on the navigation to display when you hover over it. I.E. hovering over 'News' displays sub menu of 'today', 'tomorrow'... 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 im looking for a script for my website that offers the following I have an image link, that I want to rollover to another image (Of the text glowing) then have a drop down menu pop up below it that can have other menus drop down from that one.) Right now Im trying a Javascript that I found for free on the internet but i cant seem to get it working. http://javascript-array.com/scripts/...rop_down_menu/ But I cant get it to be a rollover image instead of a text box. and it doesnt support multiple drop downs like this one: http://javascript-array.com/scripts/..._down_menu/?sb plus they want you to pay for it, and im looking for a free solution. Any help appreciated, thanks. I have a drop down menu on my page, and I want to change the background color of the box from white to match the rest of the page, how do I do this.

Hey guys, I need help making a drop down menu. I know how to make a basic one, but this is what I need... I want to have 4 drop down menus, with about 4 choices in each one. Under them I need a 'Submit" button. Basically, I need it so that any combination of the 4 choices in the 4 menus will open a specific page. For instance, lets say in menu 1 I pick the word "cat". In menu 2, I pick the word "dog". In menu 3 I pick the word "car". In menu 4 I pick the word "tree". Once I click submit, a page with a picture of a cat, dog, tree and car would open up. (I would provide all the possible different pictures). So how would one do this? Any help is GREATLY appreciated, thanks! Hi All! I would like to make a drop down box with all the departments of my company. Basically the user would select a dept and without refreshing or opening a new page the information would appear below. I have seen this before using a database but is there a way to do it without? I want to create a drop down bar using images, like the one on this page: http://www.teamtalk.com/ I already have the images which I want to use. I have scoured the internet for how to do it and tried many, many tutorials but I don't understand how to do it. Please help! 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, Kinda new to this so bare with me. 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 Good day guys... is there anyone who can share about drop down menu's 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...

Like when your mouse is at the image, the menu shows up vertically? Thanks Hey guys, I am very new to web design, however have some basic knowledge of html. I am designing a simple site which needs a drop down menu tab for only ONE TAB in the nav bar. See the following site for an example: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...wntabsdemo.htm Again I need a drop down menu for only one tab. How do I achieve this? Hi, I was trying to create a drop down menu so that there are more links the user can access, but when I opened it in IE, i noticed that when i move my mouse to the interface that initiates the drop down, the drop down actually drops down at the wrong place. for example, if i have the drop down menu bar in the middle of the screen, and move my cursor to the bar, the drop down would occur at the top of the screen. When I tried this in firefox, it works fine. Can anyone help me out? here is the code i am using so far </FORM> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- function dropdown(mySel) { var myWin, myVal; myVal = mySel.options[mySel.selectedIndex].value; if(myVal) { if(mySel.form.target)myWin = parent[mySel.form.target]; else myWin = window; if (! myWin) return true; myWin.location = myVal; } return false; } //--> </SCRIPT> <select name="gourl"> <option value="">Services </option> <option value=href="I.T Audit.html">I.T Audit </option> <option value="/" >PC and Laptop repairs </option> <option value="http://www." >Upgrades </option> <option value="http://www.ggce-environmental.org/index.html">Networking Installation</option> <option value"">PC's to your specification</option> <option value"">PAT Testing</option> <option value"">Bespoke Database Design</option> <option value="">Service Level Agreement</option> <option value="">Engery Audit</option> <option value="">Internet Service Provision</option> </select> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Go"> im aware the href="i.t audit" is wrong it's supposed to be just the full url, but it's not working any help? cheers |
