JavaScript - Css/javascript Drop-down Menu

I've been running into a brick wall on this problem, and have gone over my html, css and PHP dozens of times, so I'm thinking it's a Javascript issue (where my skills are lacking). I'm using a drop-down menu script that I got he http://www.php-development.ru/javascripts/dropdown.php, which I have modified slightly to eliminate timeout and change styles on closing the menu (by clicking on it).

It works fine everywhere except in IE 6 and 7. In IE 7, the menu appears where it should, but looks blank. If you leave the sub-menu open and hover over another link, the menu appears as it should. Both drop-down menus do this. In IE6, the problem is similar, except that only the bottom border of the menu items appear, not the whole link. The page can be found he http://www.georgekoury.com/index_test.php, and the only options with drop-down are "Individual Insurance" and "Group Insurance". I realize the code isn't entirely compliant, I inherited this code from another programmer and I'm trying to avoid having to rewrite the whole structure. I'm not sure what code you may need me to post, so if more information is needed, please let me know and I'll provide it.

Hello! My first (but surely not last) post on this forum.

I made a drop box menu and I want to activate specific javascript functions when they are selected. I think this should be fairly easy to solve. I am very new at HTML and Javascript btw.

This is what I tried:

if (document.getElementById("selectense").value="present"){
document.getElementById("present").style.visibility="visible";
}


<span class="tensebox">
<select id="selectense">
<option onclick="showPresent()">Present</option>
<option onclick="showPC()">Present</option>
</select></span>



(and I have some text with the ID "present)

Hey, so I'm a complete javascript newbie and am trying to create a drop down menu with four different boxes. The site I'm working on is basically an ecommerce site, so I'll use cars as a good example for what I want to do.

Let's say that I'm selling cars and want to target the buyer directly, then I would have the following boxes, each one serving as a dependent of the one before it:

1. Pick the brand (BMW, Mercedes, Etc.)
2. Pick the type of car (Sports car, SUV, Mini Van, etc.)
3. Pick the color (blue, green, etc.)
4. Pick the price ($0-$19,999/$19,999-29,999/etc.)

So far I have the first two boxes down by using the following site: http://www.supertom.com/menugen/. Now my problem is that the site only allows for the first two boxes to be made, and says that

"the values in box1 are static and printed directly as normal HTML. The corresponding box2 options will also be copied into the HTML as well as the javascript for full functionality."

Being a complete newbie, I have no idea what this means. So I decided to search the internet for an answer and was not able to find one, thus leading me here, which from the looks of it seems like a great forum.

If anyone could tell me how to connect a third and fourth box that falls into the same hierarchy as the first and the second then I would appreciate.

Really THANK YOU, and I'm really looking forward to reading your replies!!

Hello All,
I'm trying to find a script that would be able to do the following:
The are two drop down boxes, the first one populating the second (state/county --> town)
The first box is single choice, the second is multiple choice. I'm looking for a script that would be able to deal with generating the code for all possible values that could be chosen in the second drop down box.
The drop down boxes are part of a form which allow people to search for educational courses within areas of a state/county.

I've had a good root around the internet but am rapidly getting confused ...

many thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

I am having an issue changing a piece of Javascript and hoped you guru's could help?I am not awful with Javascript but it is fair to say I am still at the beginning of my learning! I can't find the correct answer in forums and tutorials and you guys are literally my last hope! Here it is ....

I have a drop-down menu on a website I am working on which is made up of HTML, CSS and a little bit of Javascript. At the moment it is set so that when the user hovers over the menu it operates the drop-down. This obviously does not work for iPads etc as there is no mouse to hover. I want to keep my menu but alter the Javascript so the menu drops when clicked instead.

Here is my code:

Javascript

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--
startList = function() {
	if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
		navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
		for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
			node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
			if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
				node.onmouseover=function() {
					this.className+=" over";
				}
				node.onmouseout=function() {
					this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
window.onload=startList;

//--><!]]></script>

HTML

Code:

<div id="menuPadding">
	<div id="menu">
<ul id="nav">
<li id="m1"><a href="">HOME</a></li>
<li id="m2">ABOUT US

I realise that this must be quite an easy thing for you guys but - as I said - I am at the beginning of my learning and it is confusing the hell out of me! All of the things I have tried have not worked! Any help would be truly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to create a drop down menu for dates that starts with today's date, but allows people to choose 50 years into the past and 10 years into the future.

Here's what I have for the years:

I am also having a problem with the month. I wanted it to show the name of the month, but I am getting a number (and a wrong one at that).

Apologies... I am a terrible newbie with Javascript.

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

? how would i make it for a menu so you could press it and it would go down to click on a link.

I'm trying to make a simple drop down menu for the last item in the menu copied here. I've tried multiple free code on the web without success.

Hi,

Please look at the following drop-down menu:
http://www.w3schools.com/JS/tryit.as...yjs_selectmenu

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?

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) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
  var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}
function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
  var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
   if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}
//-->
</script>
<script language="javascript">
function init() {
	if (TransMenu.isSupported()) {
		TransMenu.initialize();		
		menu1.onactivate = function() { document.getElementById("news").className = "hover"; };
		menu1.ondeactivate = function() { document.getElementById("news").className = ""; };	
		menu2.onactivate = function() { document.getElementById("raceresults").className = "hover"; };

Any help would be much appreciated!!

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.

Hi Could you help me please. I am trying to make this drop down menu work in Internet Explorer 7 by inserting the Javascript. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Please be gentle with me I'm a bit of a newcomer to this:

HTML and Javascript included below.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

sfHover = function() {
var sfEls = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("LI");
for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {
sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" sfhover";
}
sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), "");
}
}
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);

</script>

i have done dropdown menu dynamic using php in which data fetched from database(mysql).now i've to do that if i'll choose any option from dropdown menu that particular item's rate will also fetch from data base and display in a text box.that value can also be changed.plzz help me .give some idea.

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
