hi, can anyone explain HOW to actually go about making a js drop down menu.. much like the "Forum Options" on this forum...i know javascript pretty well now, but i've tried myself and i just couldn't figure out the way of doing it..- Thanks

ahh great thanks!

hi does anyone know if you can send vairables in the url for javascript, like php and asp/aspx ?for example a page like: "index.html?var=blah"then somehow return the values in js?? - thanksi've found a sort-of way of doing it... using HTML domto return the value after the #"document.write(location.hash);".. will work, but.. i still would like to know if there's a way of sending multiple variables.... ?

i don't really understand that..could you try to explain it better?

i've seen this quite a few times, a textarea that can be formatted in different ways like different fonts within it, bold bits of text, italic, all the regulars. does anybody know how to do this? im totally clueless..... i think i put this in the right category but not sure...- Thanks

oh wait, i've sorted it: function menuClose() { var menu = document.getElementById('searchMenu'); document.body.removeChild(menu);}

i used: var searchMenu = document.createElement("searchMenu"); searchMenu.id = 'searchMenu'; searchMenu.style.width = '200px'; searchMenu.style.height = '50px'; searchMenu.style.backgroundColor = '#eeeeee'; searchMenu.style.border = '1px solid #b8b8b8'; searchMenu.style.fontFamily = 'arial'; searchMenu.style.fontSize = '11px'; searchMenu.style.position = 'absolute'; searchMenu.style.top = top; searchMenu.style.left = left; searchMenu.style.padding = '10px'; searchMenu.innerHTML = 'link<br />' + 'link<br />' + 'link<br />'; document.body.appendChild(searchMenu); .. to create a little popup menu, but i want to remove it when i run another function. how do i do this?-thanks

to answer question 2:replace your script with this modded version: <script type="text/javascript"> function customPrompt(title,question,id) { if(!document.getElementById("prompt")) { //create prompt box var box = document.getElementById(id); var promptBox = document.createElement('div'); promptBox.id = 'prompt'; } else { //retrieve prompt box var promptBox = document.getElementById('prompt'); } promptBox.style.width = '200px'; promptBox.style.height = '50px'; promptBox.style.backgroundColor = '#eeeeee'; promptBox.style.border = '1px solid #b8b8b8'; promptBox.style.fontFamily = 'arial'; promptBox.style.fontSize = '11px'; promptBox.style.position = 'absolute'; promptBox.style.top = event.clientY+10; promptBox.style.left = event.clientX+10; promptBox.style.padding = '10px'; //promptBox content promptBox.innerHTML = '<div style="padding-bottom:5px"><strong>' + title + '</strong></div>' + '<div style="padding-bottom:5px">' + question + '</div>' + '<div style="padding-bottom:5px"><select id="opt">' + '<option value="value 1">option 1</option>' + '<option value="value 2">option 2</option>' + '</select></div>' + '<div><input type="button" value="OK" ' + 'onclick="promptDone(\'' + id + '\')"/></div>'; if(!document.getElementById("prompt")) { //display prompt box if it's first time document.body.appendChild(promptBox); } } function promptDone(id) { var box = document.getElementById(id); var p = document.getElementById('prompt'); var sel = document.getElementById('opt'); box.value = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value; document.body.removeChild(p); } </script> .. sorry bout the alignment ... lemme know how it goes

does anybody know how to return the positions of an image (ie. top, left), that hasn't been set to position:absolute ? - if it's even possible..for example: <script type="text/javascript">function retrnPos(obj) { alert(' .. image top and image left .. ');}</script><img src="..." onClick="retrnPos(this);" /> -Thanks

haha. silly me. thanks!

hey guys.well here's the problem.. i've made a script, which at one point prints out some HTML that has been saved in a variable, but the problem is i want it to print as just text - not actual HTML. i've tried using an str_replace() function to change the "<" to "<" and ">" to ">" .. but it didn't work, there was no change at all: <?php$code = ".......";str_replace("<", "<", $code);str_replace(">", ">", $code);print $code;?> could anybody tell me why?-hope i explained this well enough. thanks.

sorted! worked when i changed the variable to "function". i don't know why though lol. but am happy. thankya mate!

yeah ..

al give it a shot.nope, it's nothing to do with whitespace, wrong case or owt.check this link out..http://www.brothers-united.newbiestyle.co....tions.php?f=addcan see there..

giving out "value fell through" :S

I've made a simple javascript to show a menu when the user right clicks. iv made the first simple bit, and the menu appears in the right place -- but the regular right click context menu appears. Is there anyway to prevent this? <html><head><script type="text/javascript">function showRightButtonBox(event) { if (event.button==2) { var x=event.clientX; var y=event.clientY; var box=document.getElementById("rightButtonBox"); box.style.visibility='visible'; box.style.top=y; box.style.left=x; }}</script></head><body onmousedown="showRightButtonBox(event)"><div id="rightButtonBox" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:200px;height:200px;visibility:hidden;"> link1<br />link2<br />link3</div></body></html> -Thanks

Well, on some forums and websites, i have noticed that the textareas have varied styled text. For example clicking a bold button will make some of the text in the textarea bold-- but not all of it! I'm assuming this is done using JavaScript. Does anybody know how to do it?-Thanks

thankyou

function switchImages(that) { if (document.images) { var current = that.src; if (current=='__# src 1__') { that.src = '__# src 2__'; } else { that.src = '__# src 1__'; } }} HTML: <img src="__# src 1__" onClick="switchImages(this)" /> is that any use... or is it too simple ??

hiya people, is it possibile in javascirpt to return the width and height of a given image... (not meaning the width="" and height="" attributes), if so... how? Thanks.
