2d Array Driven Drop Down Menu Issue	View Content

Hi all

I'm a real newbie to Java script, I've literally been teaching myself for about 2 days now, but I've come across a bit of a problem which I'm sure is easy to fix so I was hoping for some pointers. Heres the problem:

What I'm trying to do is create a document which allows you to select a size of box from a drop down menu, and then select a size of product to go into the box on a second drop down. The products on the second drop down menu will be allocated based on the box size that you've selected to make sure that you can only choose products which will fit in the box you've selected.

In order to do this I've set up a 2D array, which lists each product and which boxes they will fit in using 0 for no and 1 for yes. When you select a box size from the drop down a value appears in a text box next to it (1, 2, 3, or 4) and what I need to do is use the number which appears in this text box to pull data from the array to populate the next drop down list. i.e. If option 2 appears from the first drop down selection then the second drop down should be populated with data from column 2 of array (In this example 1212, 1515, and 2020 would be shown in the second drop down)

Im having trouble with the Java script to pull the values from the html text box in order to manipulate the array. If you look at the function 'top_biochill_addOption_list()' you will see that the second drop is populated here from row [itop2][3] of the array, which means the second drop down is permenantly populated as if option 3 had been selected from the first drop down. I need to get the value selected from the first drop down as a variable and replace the '3' in the above statement with that variable to get this to work but I have no idea how to go about that.

Hopefully all will become clear when you see the code. As I say, I am very new to Javascript so I'm sure this code is probably messy and inefficient, but with that in mind I'd appreciate replies being in simplified terms so I can understand what you're getting at, or if anything gets re-written then a brief explaination of whats going on would be handy so I can understand what the code is actually doing! Thanks

Code:

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript"> 

var linebreak = "<br />";


//Code to prints out the current product matrix
function print_top_biochill_list(){
var topx=0
var topy=0
for (topi=0;topi<top_biochill.length;topi++)
{
document.write(top_biochill[topx][topy]+"  "+top_biochill[topx][topy+1]+"  "+top_biochill[topx][topy+2]+"  "+top_biochill[topx][topy+3]+"  "+top_biochill[topx][topy+4]+"<br />");
var topx=topx+1;}}



//Code to create Drop Down Menu to select top Biochill
function top_biochill_addOption(selectbox,text,value ){
	var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");
	optn.text = text;
	optn.value = value;
	selectbox.options.add(optn);}
 

//Code to populate Top Biochill Drop Down Menu based on which size EPS is selected
function top_biochill_addOption_list(selectbox){
var itop2=0
for (var itop=0; itop < top_biochill.length;++itop){
if (top_biochill[itop2][3]==1){
top_biochill_addOption(document.top_biochill_drop_list.top_biochill_list, top_biochill[itop][0], top_biochill[itop][0]);
itop2=itop2+1
}}}






function addtop_biochill(){
}


</script>

</head>


<body onLoad="addtop_biochill();top_biochill_addOption_list()";>

Hello
I have several issues with my multilevel drop down menu
The First issue is : the page has 2 iframes (one has the horizontal multilevel drop down menu on the top) the below iframe has my site address
Now, when i hover over the menu it does not open or expand but when i open just the menu without any iframes it does
This clearly means that the menu is not coming out of the iframe
Please help me bring it on top of everything of the page
Note: i have placed the menu in one iframe and a page opens below it in another iframe.

The Second issue is : I want the navigation bar that is the multilevel drop down menu to be editable
Which means i have a blog and a forum on my site but my visitor wants that the blog should not appear there and another link to play games should

be there and hence he/she can edit it
And please also try to make it work on cookies so that the user info and preferences are saved in cookies and whenever he/she comes back they

see the page their way.

For you: I would like to tell you that IdeaLab has launched a Twitter Advertising, Widget and Search platform and the first 1000 people are getting $100

Please help me, it will be really appreciable. Thank you very much in advance!

How To Turn My Drop-down Menu, Into A Double Drop-down Menu?

I know how to edit the CSS, and minute parts of the JavaScript code (for example; speed of the drop). The problem is, I had a massive amount of help making the Javascript side of the menu, and do not know how to edit it...

I want the rules to still apply, where only one can be expanded at a time (one of the first drops, and then only one of the sub-drops). I noticed in the code, I can edit it so there can be more than one drop, but that would mean, the whole menu could be expanded

Also, I want my sub-drops. to have different span colour than the main drop. but trhe links and such, (everything else about it) can be the same....

My live demo is here!

Thank you for any help and/or advice in advance,
Best Regards,
Tim

Drop Down Menu

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to put a drop-down menu onto my website, but desperately need some help; I'd be so grateful if someone could offer some assistance.

If you click on this link to see the webpage, http://www.ambersupplies.co.uk/newsite/pageone.htm you'll see the drop down menu, and the two problems I'm having with it. Please don't take any notice of the menu content; I'll be styling it all when these problems are sorted.

Firstly, you'll see that the external drop down list is lying within the table (with the red background) when it should appear outside. I've obviously missed a closing table or td tag somewhere, but can't find it.
Secondly, the drop down menu should appear on mouseover, and disappear on mouseout; which it does, but as you can see, when the page is firstly or reloaded, the menu is showing.

I didn't write this drop-down menu code, I copied it from this page with the intention of styling it to my own webpage:
http://www.w3schools.com/DHTML/tryit...rydhtml_menu10, perhaps this will give someone a clue.

Can anyone shed a bit of light on this for me, please? I'd be really grateful for any help whatsoever.
Many thanks in advance.
Graham

Need Help With Drop-down Menu

I have some Javascript code for a drop-down menu. The code works fine (will show below) but I was wondering how to turn off one of them? I have a total of 8 icons that have drop-down menus, but I only need 6 of them to do so. If I make any sort of change to the code, it makes all the icons change color when the mouse is hovered over, instead of drop-downs. It seems to be an "all or nothing" situation. Can someone show me how to "turn off" just one of the icons (say the "news" one), so a drop-down doesn't appear? Thank you very much.

Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01 var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {

Help With Drop-down Menu Please

Having trouble with Nested Side Bar menu. I got the coding reference from here and tried to alter it for my profile.

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/cs...side_bar_menu/

I know there are easier ways to create menus like this with flash, but Im trying to learn with CSS,HTML, JAVASCRIPT.If there is anyone that can help me find an easier solution in how to do menus i would like to take your advice,

Basically I wanted to change the image on the button that receives the mouse-over. Then, when i place my mouse over the second button just sits idle with no sub-menu employed. Only the first button receives the commands to employ the sub-menu.

This is my Code.

I presently have a drop down menu in one of my sites. I wish to break it down one more time so that it opens up on the side. However, not being a javascript expert I cannot figure out how to do it.

Thank you so much!

Hi,

Please look at the following drop-down menu:

1. How can I set it so the pages open in the parent frame (instead of the same frame)?
2. How can I set it so the pages open in a new window?

Drop Down Menu

Hi Everyone,
Could someone please help?
I'm rewriting our website at present, and am quite ok with HTML and CSS, but am not particularly au fait with Javascript.

Here's the page I'm having a bit of trouble with:

http://www.ambersupplies.co.uk/thomas/miscellaneous.htm

If you look at the long button marked 'Diagnostics', you'll see it has an arrow and initiates a drop-down menu on mouse-over. My problem is that I wish to further subdivide the three items on the sub-menu, ie, Visual to become sub-menued into Dermatoscope and Penlight. In other words, the Visual button initiates another drop-down menu on mouse-over.

Basically, therefore, I'm trying to expand the Javascript to make this happen, but I just don't seem to able to.

I'd be so very grateful for any help anyone can offer.

Fancy Drop Down Menu Help

Hey, have another question. I've made a basic website template, which I'm still working on, but I'd like to make it compatible with IE before I go any further.

I'm having trouble with the drop down menu that is located in the top right section on the site...in the banner.

It seems to work fine in FireFox (which is what I've built it for), Safari, and Chrome, but it will not work in Internet Explorer. Problem is....it doesn't hide the links, or "il" section. I was able to get it to do so, but then it would not let you select any of them...they would disappear as soon as you moved your mouse off of the top section, or "ul" i believe it's called.

Here is the website link http://pmportfolio.net/tester
and here is the CSS sheet for the menu http://pmportfolio.net/tester/dropdown.css

I'm sure I'm probably missing some things as well as having things I don't need. I'm lost.

Here is the code for the menu:
Code:

<div id="rgbar">
	<div id="container">

		<div id="specialtext">
			<div id="gameselector">
				<div class="menu">
					<ul>

					 <li><a href="#">Drop Down Links
					  <ins>

						<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td>
							<ul>
							    <li><a href="#" rel="nofollow" target='_blank'>&nbsp;First One</a></li>
                        		<li><a href="#" rel="nofollow" target='_blank'>&nbsp;Second One</a></li>
                     		    <li><a href="#" rel="nofollow" target='_blank'>&nbsp;Third One</a></li>
                      		    <li><a href="#" rel="nofollow" target='_blank'>&nbsp;Fourth One</a></li>
							</ul>

						</td></tr></table>
					  </ins></a>					 </li>
					</ul>
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
</div>

and here is the CSS
Code:
