How do you create a drop down menu in your page? <br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />
HG<!--content-->Personally, I used a div menu setup. You use div tag in conjunction with style sheets, and then simply alter their visibility state (either hidden or visible) by a function called when you mouseover a certain object.

IMHO that is the best software. Has anyone figured out why it won't work if the script is in a different directory the the page that calls it? I have set all the paths and just cant get it to work.<br />
Thanks,<br />

Paul<!--content-->hello i was wondering how to make a button take you to where you want to go much like they have at the bottom of this page for the forum jump instead of using the onselect i know how to make a drop down...and how to make the go button but dont know how to link the 2 of them together to make it work...can someone maybe post a generic code with what i am looking for in it?<!--content-->if you are going to use 2 drop downs then you will need to make 2 different forms. or have the onselect in each select tag.<!--content-->no it will only be one drop down...not sure if i'm gonna use it on the site but was just wondering how to do it incase i did decide to use it at some point in time...will only be the 1 drop down and the go button was wondering how to make the go button work with the drop down<!--content-->actually that particular button doesn't do anything. they have the onchange in the select tag.<br />
<br />
but if you want you could just <br />
<br />
onClick="document.form_name.submit()" to it.<br />
<br />
<input type=image src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"image.gif" onClick="document.form_name.submit()" ><!--content-->ok i just have the standard button <br />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Go!"> <br />
so if i change that to<br />
<input type="submit" onClick="document.form_name.submit()" name="Submit" value="Go!"> <br />
it should work of course replacing the "form_name" with the name i have for the drop down?<br />
<br />
sorry some of this stuff i'm pretty dumb about but hey gotta start some where huh?<!--content-->you need to change the type to image or the onclick is not worth anything.<!--content-->ok i have a button made up using what was said in a different post about making part of the image transpartent but "paint" isn't letting me select the option to make it transparent it's saved as a gif file also...is there a way to do this using paint shop pro?<!--content-->paint is just that, paint. you have no control of the image sin it. yes you can use paint shop pro to make a transparent gif. if you have problems post in the graphics forum and they will be glad to help.<!--content-->ok i got the image figured out...lol i have done it in paint before and it worked but figured it out in psp....anyhow here is the sample i have made so i will have for later and all it's doing it just reloading the page but in the address bar is has the location of the html file then this ?select=http%3A%2F%2Fhome.earthlink.net%2F%7Ezone_disney%2F&x=36&y=51 is there something i'm not doing right? here is the code for the page....remember this is just a template for when (and if) i decide to use something like this<br />
