HTML brothers I need some code

[AgentZap]

Might be a slightly wrong place to post this, but I am looking for a script for a navigation drop down list.

Basically it is a drop down menu list that when you click on whatever drop down choice it will take you to a corressponding web page. I have the one where you select it and then have to click second button to go there. That is annoying. Anyone know where I can get the better one?

I had the same problem. I eventually found an answer with server side scripting, can't remember if I ever found a java solution or not, but I imagine there must be one.

This can be done quite easily in PHP.

I don't mind PHP, might be better actually. Got code? 🙂

Just use the onChange event in the <select> box.

If someone can email me the script as well (preferable in PHP), that would be great. Need it for my website too. Actually I need two cases. I need one where a user chooses a product from a drop down menu and then chooses the operating system from a second drop down menu. Accordingly, the website then takes them to the correct website. Thanks. 😀

<select onChange="window.location.href=this.value;">
<option>Select</option>
<option value="http://forums.anandtech.com">AnandTech Forums</option>
<option value="http://swforums.com">Shadoworks Forums</option>
</select>

Or you can do it with tables and layers, though I don't recommend this, because not all browsers support it.

Insert this part into the HEAD

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function goToURL(form)
{

var myindex=form.dropdownmenu.selectedIndex
if(!myindex=="")
{
window.location.href=form.dropdownmenu.options[myindex].value;


}
}
//-->
</script>



This is your HTML

<form name="Redirect">
<select class=form_white name="dropdownmenu" size=1 onChange="goToURL(this.form)">
<option selected value="">
// Select a category
<option value="page1.html">
// Page 1
<option value="page2.html">
// Page 2
<option value="page3.html">
// Page 3
<option value="page4.html">
// Page 4
<option value="page5.html">
// Page 5
</select></form>

<form method="post" action="redirect.php">

<select name="url" onchange="javascript😀ocument.myform.submit()">
<option value="http://www.durdenwebapplications.com">Durden Web Applications</option>
</select>

</form>




-------------- redirect.php ---------------

<?php

if ($_POST['url']) {
header ("Location: " . $_POST['url']);
}

Can anyone help me with my script please? I need a script with two drop down menu's. Based on the two choices, the user is then taken to the appropriate page. Thank you very much in advance. 😀

There's one in the top right corner of this page. Copy that one.

Guys, instead of asking questions here - why not BROWSE sites like those listed here & work it out yourselve's. I wouldn't mind helping you if you've figured out the code & are having some small problems - but to just come in here & post 'gimme such & such code" is really lame. Can't you search the web yourself ? No one here will write the code for you, they're either searching for you (how weak is that - for those who can't search

) But we will help you edit code you find/write to make it work correctly.
