JavaScript - Help Needed Creating 2 Select Drop-downs Which Link To Url's On Submit
Hi all, I think I have posted in the right place, if not appologies.
Anyhow, I am currently creating a website for my canvas printing business and run into a few javascripting issues. I am trying to create a small navigation form whereby a customer can select from a dropdown the required width of canvas, this selection will then populate a second dropdown with a choice of canvas heights. Ok, so trawling many sites I came across some javascript that I was able to chop about and have this part sorted. The problem now is that I would like to include a submit button that when clicked takes the customer to a webpage based on their two dropdown choices, and being a complete newby when it comes to javascript I am stuck trying to include the script to enable this. eg: if they select '20" (51cm)' from the first dropdown and '16" (41cm)' from the second dropdown, they will navigate to "http: / / 20x16.co.uk" canvas print page. I have not currently created the canvas print pages so am unable to give the URLs of the pages. However if somebody can lend a hand to get me started and indicate where the desitnation URLs need to be added, I can drop these in later. The way that the script is currently written, the linked url could be based soley on the choice made in the second dropdown. I have a draft page with the working dropdowns he http://merchant.auctivacommerce.com/...iewtheme=32189 And the code that I currently have is: Code: <script type="text/javascript">

As mentioned, Javascript is completely new to me but I am attempting to learn. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wayne Similar TutorialsThe code below is a download form,, the number after the P= are the index idents for each file to be downloaded.. The destination_folder is set for C:\temp as default location. the code below works as needed for one file,,however i need to create a drop down list which will show all file names,and automatically throw the right ident for that file after the P=. sounds simple enough but there are other sections that are tied to this form so the solution has to use the CFForm_1(this) else i'll have to redo all the other sections as well. as well as javascript if anyone has a quick and clean way to do this i'd be very appreciative. i've pulled my hair out trying to find examples using this config and none are even close..or don't have a drop down menu Code: <form name="CFForm_1" action="http://www.XXX.cfm?p=6D6F615CC&rt=2&st=2" method="POST" onsubmit="CFForm_1(this)"> <input name="destination_folder" id="destination_folder" type="text" value="C:\Temp" maxlength="200" size="60" /> <input type="Submit" value="Resume"> thanks in advance, Rick Hi, Im trying to create a drop down menu using the following code JS Code: function showMenu(theMenu) {

Its not working and i hope you can help so far i've got Code: if (document.profile_quote.thickness.selectedIndex == "3" && document.profile_quote.machine.selectedIndex == "1") document.profile_quote.cutspeed.value = "34444" I have a date of birth drop down for 'Day', 'Month' and a text field for Year. How can I get the select value of the drop down and year text field into a single text field, separated by '-'? The single text field would need to update if someone changed the drop down / year selections. Hope someone can help - I'm stumped! I am using the following code to show / hide form elements within a div based upon the drop down choice. Does anyone know how this code can be amended to use multiple drop downs within one form? Code: <html>
<head>
<title>Show and Hide</title>

Thanks in advance! Hi guys, it's a bit of a large question but I've been messing around with code for a while, and nothing seems to work... Basically, I need to make, a 'dynamic theme changer'. Basically what I need to do is have several drop down boxes, each one with some colours available as options. When you select one, it automatically (without refreshing the page) updates a certain element's style. For example, if you selected green as one colour and red as another, the element linked to the first drop-down would turn green, and the element linked to the second drop-down would turn red, and so on so forth. It then needs to have a 'save' button, which saves the settings, and adds a cookie with the style details so that when they visit the page again it's still personalized. There also needs to be a cancel button which discards all changes. I know it's a large question but I'm ripping my hair out over this one! =P Your help is much appreciated. I've got some directory list boxes on the site I'm working on. I made them big and fixed rather than drop-down so they're easier to use in this context. But I had to enable the "multiple" attribute to make that work. The site has no provision for multiple selections so it's a tad annoying when the search function selects more than one name in the list. It doesn't really affect the site's operation but it could be confusing to some people. Is there a way to make the listbox show multiple selections without allowing multiple selections? Thanks for any help. <select onchange="display.apply(this, this.value.split(','))" multiple="multiple" id="People" name="People" style="border-style: none; height:244px; width:220px; margin-bottom: 15px;"> <option>Loading</option> </select> Ok so I'm in college and I'm taking my first web development class online. Unfortunate my teacher is awful. We have already "covered" html and some css and done a bit of java such as creating a prompt and a super simple calculator. However, for the final I have to make a 2 player game with at least 30 spaces and dice (random number generator). More importantly our "learn javascript in 24 hours" book doesn't cover this at all and my teacher is MIA like always. So, I have come to you all for help. I found a sample script that is almost exactly what I need for this project but it needs a bit of tweaking http://javascript.internet.com/games...ders-game.html I need to add 5 additional spaces and I wanted to add a ladder from space 24-27 and change the chute from 16-6 to 25-6. Unfortunately I'm kind of clueless on how to do this and make sure everything works properly.... Here is an image I made real quick of what I want it to look like And this is the requirements for the project. * Minimum Requirements for a C: o 2 players o 20 steps on the board o Random number generator o Game displays the location of each player on the board * Minimum Requirements for a B: o Everything above plus o Attractive user interface. o 30 steps on the board o Graphical random number generator (Example: Display the number as a dice image) * Minimum Requirements for an A: o Everything above plus o Educational game that shows facts as the players move around the game. Any help at all would be amazing and greatly appreciated I use a ticketing website at a call center. I have javascript injection bookmarks with some of the more common issues, but my issue is even after I populate everything when I try to submit the ticket, it won't recognize that somethign is there unless i go through and hit enter in each form i autopopulated. javascript:if((top.arid1000000000.value="Inquiry - ")!=""); Most are drop down lists. Is there any way to submit each form(when i hit enter) after the text gets entered in there? Dear all, Below are my current script. I need another few more sets of the triple drop down menu same as the below script... (Scenario: creating like a online shopping order form, where customers can have multiple orders.)

I am looking to build as basic as possible, a form that has 3 select dropdowns that have predetermined options. The user will select the first option and based on that option the second will populate and based on that, the third one will give the last option. Now, when the last one is selected, i need a div or a paragraph displaying information to be displayed. So here's the framework. Option 1 = fruit or vegitables of which fruit is selected is selected by the user Option 2 = Apples, Grapes, and pears of which apples is then selected Option 3 = Red, Green and Yellow of which Green is selected. Once green is selected, I need a description about the green aple to be displayed. Can anyone help me out on this? I am not sure where to begin and my boss is adament it must be done like yesterday. Ay help will be appreciated. Thanks. I would like to apologize in advance if my question sounds too simple. I am a novice to Javascript and have not had any real formal training here. I am creating a webpage which utilizes a separate .xml file to populate values in my webpage. This is my webpage (links.html): and here is my xml file (links_data.xml): This is my output: I have a link at the bottom of the page that points to the device being displayed. In this case, the link should be: http://10.90.139.201 If my xml file changes, it should point to the new IP address. My question is, how do I get the link to work? Currently, my current link (<a href="http://"IP_address"">Link</a>) does not populate any information. Appreciate any guidance here... thanks. Hello everyone, I'm new to the programming world so please be kind I'm trying to find a code which would take the input value entered in a form field and on click direct you to a page which corresponds with what was entered. So for example: Enter "5" in field. Click Submit. Page opens up (which in fact would be an html file on my server called... 5.html) ( i would want to create 10 pages for values entered from 1-10... each value having a unique result when entered and clicked) I have no idea how to put this all together, i've been searching everywhere. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Hi, is there a way, when one select is clicked, all change to the value of the one that was chosen? (ie: "b" is clicked and all change to b.)

Hello, I'm trying to create a webpage where users can click on a dynamically generated set of questions: <?php do { ?> <p><?php echo $row_rsQuestions['question_text']; ?><?php echo $row_rsQuestions['question_type']; ?></p> <?php } while ($row_rsQuestions = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsQuestions)); ?> and by clicking on a particular question, there will be an update for their particular listing of personal questions in a MySql database. I know how to create the database update part, but I think that I would need to javascript to: 1) tell my page that it's time to update (i.e. add a particular question as soon as they click it) 2) pass along the correct variable to the database update portion of the page. Any help on these two items would be appreciated. Thank you! I'm using a form data reference, something like P-1234 for example to create a text file and a link to the file. This is during the construction of a new table or table row with javascript. I have an array of one or more references submitted via form using $_POST. On my action page I am creating a txt file P-1234. If I am creating a table ot table row using createElement(), one of the cells will have a link to the file. If the file is created as follows: PHP Code: $File = $_POST['ref'][$i] . "txt"; After creating the cell Code: var Cell = document.createElement('td');
I assign the file to a variable var File = "<?= $File ?> "; I assume the link is inserted using innerHTML? If so, do I just append the filename to the end of the file path like this? Cell.innerHTML = "http://localhost/Project/+File"; If this is not the right way can someone point me in the right direction? I want to use a <select> drop-down in a form to let my user select a date from a list. The problem is how to easily update the list. Easiest would be to have a list of dates in a separate file, and have code that would read the dates and write them into the <option> statements of the <select> control. Then when the page with the <select> control opens, the code will open the other file, get the dates, and update the <option>s. And all I have to do is periodically FTP a new date file. I'm stuck in Visual Basic and FileSystemObject, where I can open a file, read line by line into an array, concatenate a string, and write it into a doc. I can't seem to find similar methods in JavaScript - no duh, because this isn't VB! So _is_ there a way to do this? Maybe a certain way to create the date file so the code can easily find the values? (Like putting the dates into a table with each <TD> having a unique ID?) And assuming I manage to get the dates, I need to write them into the source HTML, vice in the document body. What objects, methods, properties do I look at? Are there any samples floating around out there? A drop-kick in a good direction is greatly appreciated! Ed Hello; New to Javascripting, new to forum. I searched the forum, and tried to adapt, to no avail. I am building a store and want users to be able to see how two items look together. I have it working, but it uses a drop down. I would like to display many items and have the user click on one "image", from the display of "top" images, to display it on top, and from another section of "bottom" images, click another image to display it on bottom. For instance to see what one plant would look like in different vases. If I could be picky, is there a way to make it all happen in the BODY of the page? I use DW and a template. Code:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function showimage()
{
if (!document.images)
return
document.images.pictures.src=
document.mygallery.picture.options[document.mygallery.picture.selectedIndex].value
document.images.pictures2.src=
document.mygallery2.picture2.options[document.mygallery2.picture2.selectedIndex].value
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p class="style1">Try a few selections for your gift.</p>
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><form name="mygallery"><select
name="picture" size="1" onChange="showimage()">
<option selected value="images/bear1.jpg">Bear 1</option>
<option value="images/bear2.jpg">Bear 2</option>
<option value="images/plant1.jpg">Plant 1</option>
<option value="images/plant2.jpg">Plant 2</option>
<option value="images/plant3.jpg">Plant 3</option>
</select>
</form>
</td>
<td><a href="javascript:linkrotate(document.mygallery.picture.selectedIndex)" onMouseover="window.status='';return true"><img src="images/bear1.jpg" name="pictures" width="150" border=0></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><form name="mygallery2"><select
name="picture2" size="1" onChange="showimage()">
<option selected value="images/cup1.jpg">Mug 1</option>
<option value="images/cup2.jpg">Mug 2</option>
</select>
</form>
</td>
<td><a href="javascript:linkrotate(document.mygallery2.picture2.selectedIndex)" onMouseover="window.status='';return true"><img src="images/cup1.jpg" name="pictures2" width="150" border=0></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
I would like my form submit button to show as a link instead of a button, where it will be a link and pass the city value to the action page: Code: <form action="goTo.jsp" method="post"> <input type="text" name="city"> <input type="submit"> </form> Please advise. |
