shadowayex Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Ok, on my site at the top of a list of links to certain information, I have a drop down menu that I want to use to sort the information, I figured the easiest way would be to create separate pages and put the information in a certain order and put the drop down menu at the top of each. From there I want to make it so when they click on an option in the drop down menu is takes them to the corresponding page, kiinda like this: <select><option vlaue="a">A</option> <---Goes to page A<option value="b">B</option> <---Goes to page Band so on How exactly would you do that? I know it's like a novice question, but well, I'm a novice lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingy Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 It's quite simple other than spelling errors. (vlaue) Elsewhere and nextpage is up to you to define.<script type="text/javascript">function nextpage(){location=document.forms[0].elsewhere.value}</script></head><body><form><select id="elsewhere" onchange="nextpage()"><option>-Select location-</option><option value="/page1.html">Pagename 1</option><option value="/page2.html">Pagename 2</option><option value="/page3.html">Pagename 3</option></select></form> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Ew that example has horrible HTML! Remember, you should always close tags such as <option>, <li>, etc. not leave them open! so it should be <select id="gowhere" onchange="go()"><option>-Select location-</option><option value="/asp/default.asp">ASP Coding</option><option value="/flash/default.asp">Flash Tutorial</option><option value="/js/default.asp">JavaScripts</option></select> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
