dropdown box help (css)

kingo'mountain · 29th October 2004, 13:06

im trying to create a dropdown box that clicking an option (if i choose to put a link) will redirect me to the link chosen without having to click 'go' or something like that, can somebody give me the template for such a thing?

(its for my dad actually)

not sure if this is what your looking for, but it has some neat scripts.

If you go to your control panel, there's a dropdown box that does a "Forum Jump" with the behaviour you're talking about. If you look at the source, there's this before all the options:

code:
<select name="forumid"

	onchange="window.location=('forumdisplay.php?s=&amp;daysprune=&amp;forumid='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">

that might have something to do with it... but I don't know a great deal of javascript. In fact, close to nothing.

hmm, thats some serious javascripting, i think it takes some predefining before actually coding the menu itself, how do i do that?

I looked for some javascript relating to it in the header, but there wasn't any. Find another website that does it and look at the source.
