Help with code

[Agent Moose]

I am hoping you can help me with a code I am trying to make for ZetaBoards. It adds a drop-down menu with what ever links you want in it.

<script>function dropdown(sname,lurl){//Code Created by Agent Moose$(".drop_menu").before("<ul id='top_menu' class='drop_menu'><liid='menu_ucp'><a href='#'><img src='http://209.85.62.27/static/1/m_ucp.png' /> "+ mname +"</a><ul><li><a href='"+ lurl +"'>"+ sname +"</a></li></ul></li></ul>");}mname = "Pages"dropdown("Arcade","http://beta.zetaboards.com/MooseCreations/pages/arcade");</script>

I want it to make it so that when you make more of these:

dropdown("Arcade","http://beta.zetaboards.com/MooseCreations/pages/arcade");

It will add more links to the dropdown menu.Also, I would like it you added more of these:

mname = "Pages"

it will make a new whole new dropdown menu.and you will be able to add diffrent links to each drop-down menu.wanna help me?

First off, your current function doesn't handle mname.

function dropdown(mname,sname,lurl) {	 if(mname != "") {		  output = "<select name='"+mname"' onchange='gotoURL()'>";	 else {		  alert("You didn't specify a Dropdown Menu name."); // Make sure we don't get JS Errors.	 }	 if(sname != "") {		  output += "<option name='"+ sname +"' value='"+ sname +"'>";	 }	 else {		  alert("You didn't specify an item to add to the dropdown menu."); // Make sure we don't get JS Errors.	 }}

Sorry if I can't be of more help though....

Well, I don't think it needs to. I think I can do something like this:

var mname[]mname[0] = "Pages"//First Drop Down Menumname[1] = "Blah"//Seconde Drop Down Menu

And for the sname and url:

//Options for First Drop Down Menudropdown[0][0]("Arcade","http://beta.zetaboards.com/MooseCreations/pages/arcade");//This will be in the First Drop down menu because of the first [0] and it will be the first option in the drop down menu because of the second [0].dropdown[0][1]("Yahoo","http://www.yahoo.com");//This will be in the First Drop down menu because of the first [0] and it will be the second option in the drop down menu because of the [1].//Options for Second Drop Down Menudropdown[1][0]("Google","http://www.google.com");//This will be in the Second Drop down menu because of the first [1] and it will be the first option in the drop down menu because of the [0].dropdown[1][1]("Jquery","http://www.jquery.com");//This will be in the Second Drop down menu because of the first [1] and it will be the second option in the drop down menu because of the  second [1].

Thing is, I don't know how to make it accually work that way. I am able to show only part of it...so if anyone can help me accually making the rest or somthing...

Dont think its even Javascript. //Code Created by Agent Moose$(".drop_menu").before("<ul id='top_menu' class='drop_menu'><liid='menu_ucp'>................[im a PHP novice, correct me if wrong]Looks like PHP, before(...) should be another function. Also do you get any error?

[Agent Moose]

Your right, this isn't javascript...well sorta is, it is Jquery. It is the same thing sorta but you write alot less.Anyway, I don't get an error, I am also having this disscusion on another forum and I found another way to do this code...

<script>$(document).ready(function() {//Created by Agent Moose and HolySaviorvar mname = new Array()mname[0] = "Pages"mname[1] = "Other"var dropdown = new Array()dropdown[0] = ["Pages","Arcade","http://beta.zetaboards.com/MooseCreations/pages/arcade/"]dropdown[1] = ["Other","Codes","http://beta.zetaboards.com/MooseCreations/pages/codes/"]for(q=0;q<mname.length;q++){for(y=0;y<dropdown.length;y++){$("#top_menu").append("<li id='"+ mname[q] +"1'><a href='#'><img src='http://209.85.62.27/static/1/m_ucp.png' /> "+ mname[q] +"</a><ul id='"+ dropdown[y][0] +"'></ul></li>");$("#"+ dropdown[y][0] +"").append("<li><a href='"+ dropdown[y][2] +"'>"+ dropdown[y][1] +"</a></li>");};};});</script>

There is a problem with this code, it creates two dropdown menus instead of one. I don't think if I should even explain anymore since some people don't nkow what this is...
