EnzoDerek Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hello there,I'm am 12 years old and and a web page designer. I really need this to finish this client's website I have. I'm looking how to create a changing drop down menu. Kindof like the ones you might see in checking out from buying from a website. For Example:Click Your Country:United StatesCanadaIf the user selects United States, all the states would be the same. Same thing with selecting Canada.Thanks,Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate570 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 You'd have to use arrays. :)I can show you how to make it, but I wont make it completely for you.First, learn how to insert options into a select box, with createElement() and appendChild(). Look them up on a dom reference, or the Mozilla Dom Docs.Next, make 2 arrays. In the first one, put all of the US states. In the second one, all of the canadian provinces.Loop through the arrays. Check what option is selected in the select box. If it's United States, then loop through the arrays and keep apending a new option with the value of the array[loop] value. Congrats. :)But wait---are you at least slightly experienced in javascript? You wont have a clue what I'm saying unless you know java/C...Which I doubt.

Chocolate570 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 No, I'm sorry you think that--I was trying to ask whether or not you know java/c/javascript, otherwise you wouldn't really understand what I'm trying to say. Please don't take offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
