tyler Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hey I made a thread in meadia but I don't think thats were I should have asked from what I have in mind. I'm thinking about taking a dropdown menu and putting music names and selections inside. But when you click of the dropdown the music plays, I'm not sure if you need a form but I'd also like to combine it with embeded music player....Anyway I can add the MIDS to the dropdown music so it can play?

Skemcin Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 you can use javascript to do this and I combine it with an frame or iframe and you are set.you'll have to do a little research on your own to figure it out - we typically won't post out-right solution here. so, google somethign like "javascript dropdown menu" and then target your links into a frame - this will prevent you from having to reload the page you are on and will reduce the complexity.

tyler Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Ok I get it....It's more or less a text box in my opinion. But right now I'm using a reaguler frame and it's working fine so now i'll reserch the dropdon menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 actual it is not a text box. It works just like a regualr frame except you can position it anywhere on the page have it the dimensions you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 i meant like a scroll down menu cant you also do that in html but its a way longer code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 ok what do you mean by a scroll down menu? <select multiple="multiple" size="5">...serveral options...</select> is that what you mean???It produces a select box 5 options high and scrolls if there are more than 5 options and you can choose as many options as you want.

tyler Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Nah, I meant like ok its a pull down menu you click the arrow and it shows a small list of music you click the one you want and it plays....Kinda wanted to merge it with the embeded music player cause i like pausing it but if you cant do that its fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 The built-in HTML version of this box is just a simple <select>...whether or not you get the scroll bar or not depends on the browser used to view it (i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
