JavaScript - Change Header Items With Dropdown Menu?
Hi all. I am creating a website and it utilizes the Apple Touch Icon:
Code: <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> Basically, I want to be able to change the bolded part from a drop down menu. Like, the user would select a certain item in the drop down menu and it would change the bolded part to a different link (the one corresponding to the drop down menu selection). Any ideas? Similar Tutorialsbasically i have a form with lots of fields.. drop down boxes and textarea's and standard input text.. now what i need is a way to change all of these fields with a fetch button. i can get the value for the fields from the perl script on my server side. the form basicslly sends lots of fields to my perl script and saves each field of data into seperate text docs. now my customer would like to retrieve the data back to the form to change aspects of it to be resubmitted . i am struggling with the simplist of codes to set the value of the fields from a javascript variable any ideas please. I'm creating a menu using html, css and a javascript, I found a tutorial to follow online. What I am trying to achieve is when the mouse hovers over the menu items, each item will have a different colour background. the problem is that i can do this but it only works with one colour and not different colours. this is the html: Code: <ul> <li><a href="1.php">Things</a></li> <li><a href="2.php">Animals</a> <ul> <li><a href="2-1.php">Cani</a> <ul> <li><a href="2-1-1.php">Domestic dogs</a></li> <li><a href="2-1-2.php">Wolves</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="2-2.php">Felidae</a> <ul> <li><a href="2-2-1.php">Domestic cats</a></li> <li><a href="2-2-2.php">Wild cats</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="3.php">Humans</a></li> </ul> the css is as follows: Code: div#s1 { width: 200px; /* menu width */ } div#s1 ul { background-color: #036; list-style-type: none; /* get rid of the bullets */ padding:0; /* no padding */ margin:0; /* no margin for IE either */ } div#s1 ul li { margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #036; display:block; border-top: 1px solid white; /* lines */ } div#s1 ul li a { display: block; /* lines extend to right, make area clickable */ color: white; background-color: #036; padding: 3px 3px 3px 23px; margin:0; text-decoration: none; height:15px; /* hint for IE, alternatively remove whitespace from HTML */ } div#s1 ul ul li a { margin-left: 20px; /* indent level 1 */ } div#s1 ul ul ul li a { margin-left: 40px; /* indent level 2 */ } div#s1 ul ul ul ul li a { margin-left: 60px; /* indent level 3 */ } div#s1 li ul, div#s1 li.open li.closed ul { display: none; /* collapse */ } div#s1 li.open ul { display: block; /* expand */ } div#s1 ul li.open a { background-image: url(bullet_open.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } div#s1 ul li.closed a { background-image: url(bullet_closed.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } div#s1 ul li.leaf a { background-image: url(bullet_leaf.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } div#s1 li.active a { background-position: 0px -20px; color: red; /* highlight text */ } div#s1 li.active li a { background-position: 0px 0px; color: white; /* fix lower levels */ } div#s1 ul li a:hover { color: red; background-color: #06C; /* rollover effect */ } and finally the javascript: Code: var menu_active_class = "active"; var menu_leaf_class = "leaf"; var menu_open_class = "open"; var menu_closed_class = "closed"; //the default page that is displayed if URL ends in / var menu_default_page = "index.php"; var menu_url; //main function //menu_id : id of the element containing the navigation function menu_main(menu_id) { var url = location.href; if (url.lastIndexOf("/") == (url.length-1)) { url = url+menu_default_page; } if (url.lastIndexOf("?") >= 0) { url = url.substring(0, url.lastIndexOf("?")); } if (url.lastIndexOf("#") >= 0) { url = url.substring(0, url.lastIndexOf("#")); } menu_url = url; var main = document.getElementById(menu_id); if (!main) alert("No element with id '"+ menu_id +"' found"); menu_traverse(main); } /* Walks down the subtree and on the way back sets properties. returns bit set 1: set = element is a node, unset = element is a leaf 2: set = element contains the active node 4: set = element is the active A node */ function menu_traverse(element) { var props = 0; // walk down for (var i=0; i<element.childNodes.length; i++) { var child = element.childNodes[i]; props |= menu_traverse(child); // aggregate bits } // on the way back now switch (element.tagName) { case "UL": props |= 1; break; case "LI": var c1 = (props & 1) ?

Jesper I haven't been able to find anything about this on here or clear direction on the net, so I'm hoping y'all can help me out. I have a dropdown list that I use to navigate pages on an external website. Currently, my dropdown list will open a new page in my current window. I want to be able to open the page in a new window. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but being somewhat of a noob to Javascript I can't figure out how to solve it. Here's what I have for the navigation dropdown: Code: <FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/redirect.pl" METHOD=POST onSubmit="return dropdown(this.gourl)"> <SELECT NAME="gourl"> <OPTION VALUE="">Make Your Selection <OPTION VALUE="http://url1.html>Choice 1 <OPTION VALUE="http://url2.html>Choice 2 <OPTION VALUE="http://url3.html">Choice 3 </SELECT> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Go"> </FORM> And here's what I have in the header: Code: <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> Any ideas? I would like to create a 2-level menu similar to the one use in: http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/principal/index.html It is done with CSS? Thanks! Hi, I really need urgent help. I am using a javascript on a DotNetNuke CMS site to allow the user to choose text/background colour, basically it changes stylesheets. Here is the code that I have used: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...etswitcher.htm and here is my example: http://lrptintranet.com.dnnmax.com/ - you can see the colour image buttons top right under the main menu. The style sheet changer seems to work on the top menu level items but as soon as you choose a submenu the javascript doesn't seem to work. I don't know anything at all about javascript - can anyone offer any advice how I can get this working on the sub menu pages?
Not sure how easy this is, but I would like to have 4 checkboxes that effect the items shown in a drop down menu. For example: [x] School #1 [x] School #2 [ ] School #3 The drop down (select) box will only show the majors that are offered at the checked schools. I know this involves either hiding or showing the certain elements of the drop down menu, but I'm not well versed in JS. Thanks in advance. Hello, I am needing the coding to do the follow: When a user makes a selection from a dropdown, the value is placed in a text input. SELECT >>> INPUT Thank you so much for your help! Hello, I have been looking for this all day - Change currencies throughout the page when choosing between countries or currencies from dropdown menu. What I basically need is a dropdown menu which shows countries or currencies. When you select anyone of it like USD all the prices throughout the page are changed to USD. Now if you change it AUD/CAD/PKR etc they will be changed accordingly. A very good example of this is: http://creativeon.com. When you change currency from right top dropdown menu - it changes the currencies of all the packages in the main content. I am a HTML developer and do not know much about javascripting. Please help me. P.S. I have searched codingforums.com too and found only two links which are not of my use because they are currency converter: http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=196577 http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=196373 Best Regards and Thanks in Advance. I have a scenario where I show a drop-down-with-few-items in a JSP page, to the user. The length of few options in the drop down is greater than that of the drop down's, hence our requirement is to show the hovered (not selected) option as tooltip for user's convenience. I am not able to use title attribute for displaying tooltips in my browser. Now the code in http://dossett.org/11/No_onmouseover_for_options_in_IE/ implements a tooltip for multiple select drop down menu.Can you modify the code for single select I'm in the middle of teaching myself PHP and SQL so I'm only at the paste-and-tweak level with Javascript. Bear with my newbie-ness. I've seen a few solutions for creating a form dropdown menu that changes a nearby image based on what is selected. I want exactly that, but is it possible to have the images also appear on mouseover? I found a menu solution using CSS, but when I applied it to a form, it didn't work. Can anyone put me in the right direction on how to do that?

I was wondering if you maybe could help me with the following issue. I would like to make a menu that when you click it, a submenu slides beneath it, when you click it again it slides back up (so not automatically if you click another menu). I attached an image to clearify myself. This is what I came up with so far, but now I am stuck.. can somebody help me? http://www.webmention.com/menu.htm is the look I actually want.. seperated menu's and the submenu not 'in' the main menu.. Thanks! I have a working drop down menu on my "Facebook" icon at the top of my website. www.billboardfamily.com The menu works fine, but I would like for it to open to the left of the icon... should look something like the attached pic. I do not know enough about js to make this happen, any help would be great.

Its the beginning of a javascript code to hide and show a drop down menu. Ill include the html code to give u a better understanding too. Thank you so much, ive been frustrated on this for nearly a month HTML Code: <body> <h1>Menu Test</h1> <ul id=”menu”> <li class=”menu”><a href=”#”>Home</a></li> <li class=”menu”><a href=”#”>Products</a> <ul> <li><a href=”#”>Sub-item 1</a></li> <li><a href=”#”>Sub-item 2</a></li> <li><a href=”#”>Item 3</a></li> </ul></li> <li class=”menu”><a href=”#”>Support</a> <ul> <li><a href=”#”>Sub-item 1</a></li> <li><a href=”#”>Sub-item 2</a></li> </ul></li> <li class=”menu”><a href=”#”>Employment</a> <ul> <li><a href=”#”>Sub-item 1</a></li> <li><a href=”#”>Sub-item 2</a></li> </ul></li> <li class=”menu”><a href=”#”>Contact Us</a> <ul> <li><a href=”#”>Sub-item 1</a></li> <li><a href=”#”>Sub-item 2</a></li> </ul></li> </ul> </body> JavaScript Code: // global variables for timeout and for current menu var t=false,current; function SetupMenu() { if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return; items=document.getElementsByTagName(“li”); for (i=0; i<items.length; i++) { if (items[i].className != “menu”) continue; //set up event handlers thelink=findChild(items[i],”A”); thelink.onmouseover=ShowMenu; thelink.onmouseout=StartTimer; //is there a submenu? if (ul=findChild(items[i],”UL”)) { ul.style.display=”none”; for (j=0; j<ul.childNodes.length; j++) { ul.childNodes[j].onmouseover=ResetTimer; ul.childNodes[j].onmouseout=StartTimer; } } } } // find the first child object of a particular type function findChild(obj,tag) { cn = obj.childNodes; for (k=0; k<cn.length; k++) { if (cn[k].nodeName==tag) return cn[k]; } return false; } i want to activate a dropdown menu with a lot of submenus and i have function setActive() { aObj = document.getElementById('nav').getElementsByTagName('a'); for(i=0;i<aObj.length;i++) { if(document.location.href.indexOf(aObj[i].href)>=0) { aObj[i].className='active'; } } } window.onload = setActive; but it activate me only the sub butons and i want the primary - the top buton active i have a css class separated can you help me ? what should i add in the code? I am using a drop down menu for a website I'm working on to display menu items under categories. I'm using the same code to do this on two different pages with the actual content of the menu's loading from a MySQL database using PHP scripts. www.browniepointscatering.com/menu.php www.browniepointscatering.com/seasonal.php On the menu.php page I left the code below in the mix which drops down the first category listed on the left. On the seasonal.php page I took the code below out and it no longer drops down any menu by default when the page is loaded. What I'd like to do is drop down nothing initially when the page is loaded but if someone opens up the "Cupcakes" category and clicks on an item it would keep that category open when it loads the item details in the center column. If you need to see more code let me know! <!-- Add-On Code: Show Select Containers On Load --> <script type="text/javascript">/* <![CDATA[ */if(!qmad.sopen){qmad.sopen=new Object();qmad.sopen.log=new Array();if(window.attachEvent)window.attachEvent("onload",qm_sopen_init);else if(window.addEventListener)window.addEventListener("load",qm_sopen_init,1);};function qm_sopen_init(e,go){if(window.qmv)return;if(!go){setTimeout("qm_sopen_init(null,1)",10);return;}var i;var ql=qmad.sopen.log;for(i=0;i<10;i++){var a;if(a=document.getElementById("qm"+i)){var dd=a.getElementsByTagName("DIV");for(var j=0;j<dd.length;j++){if(dd[j].idiv.className.indexOf("qm-startopen")+1){ql.push(dd[j].idiv);var f=dd[j][qp];if(!qm_a(f)){var b=false;for(var k=0;k<ql.length;k++){if(ql[k]==f.idiv)ql[k]=null;}ql.push(f.idiv);f=f[qp];}}}}}var se=0;var sc=0;if(qmad.tree){se=qmad.tree.etype;sc=qmad.tree.ctype;qmad.tree.etype=0;qmad.tree.ctype=0;}for(i= ql.length-1;i>=0;i--){if(ql[i]){qm_oo(new Object(),ql[i],1);qm_li=null;}}if(qmad.tree){qmad.tree.etype=se;qmad.tree.ctype=sc;}}/* ]]> */</script> |
