Apr 09.2007

Hi all,

I’m having problems with dropdown menu … my page is split in 2 sections, The top is for the menu and the bottom is where all the content goes. I’m trying to put 1 dropdown menu in the top for making it to appear in the bottom. So far what I’ve been able to do is make the link appear in the same frame. But I want the link to appear in the bottom section

Here, this is an exemple of what I’m trying to do:
[url]http://www.houseind.com[/url]

Can someone help me with this one ?

Thanks in advance!

@ChipppApr 09.2007 — Are you using frames? If so, you should add names to your frames (if you haven't already), and in the link tag, after putting the actual URL, add a target field, as so:

[code=html]
ACTUAL VIEWING PAGE
<fameset>
<frame name="navigation" src="navigation.html" />
<frame name="content" src="somepage.html" />

....

NAVIGATION FRAME
<a href="some_different_page.html" target="content">This is a link that will appear in the "content" frame</a>
[/code]

@data_999authorApr 10.2007 — It seem not to work ... probably me but I just cant find it why ???

it just open the link in the same window !

This is my code

<form action="" name="form1" target="home">

<select name="Frames" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

<option value="frame1.html" selected>Frame1</option>

<option value="frame2.html">Frame2</option>

<option value="frame3.html">Frame3</option>

</select>

</form>

@ChipppApr 10.2007 — I'm still not fully understanding what your problem is. What is the form for? It seems to me that you are using frames. Could you post that source code for us too?

@data_999authorApr 10.2007 — ok,

my home page is splitted in 2 sections ; the top is the menu and the bottom is once you click on the menu it appears in the bottom

The form I've put is from the menu frame ... it the dropdown menu form

@ChipppApr 10.2007 — Alright. Well, I can understand what you're trying to do in concept, but you're going to need to post more code. The actual "frameset" would be helpful. As would any JavaScript you happen to be using (as you reference it in the post).

@data_999authorApr 11.2007 — Will this help ?

This is the frame "index"
</head>

<frameset rows="100,*" framespacing="5" frameborder="yes" border="5" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">

<frame src="menu.html" name="Menu" scrolling="no" noresize id="Menu">

<frame src="frame1.html" name="Botton" id="Botton">

</frameset>

<noframes><body>

</body></noframes>

</html>

This is the frame "menu"
[code=php]</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFCC00" leftmargin="20" topmargin="10" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<form action="" name="form1" target="bottom">
<select name="Frames" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<option value="frame1.html" selected>Frame1</option>
<option value="frame2.html">Frame2</option>
<option value="frame3.html">Frame3</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

@ChipppApr 11.2007 — Well, first thing's first. Notice that the target of the "form" tag (target="bottom") is not targeting anything, as the frame's name and id is "Botton", as opposed to "bottom" (yes, uppercase vs. lowercase [B]does[/B] matter). Also, you forget to close your frames. The tags should go <frame..."attributes"... [B]/>[/B]. Fix those first.

Another thing that I'm wondering is are the files frame1,2, and 3.html actually made? If not, make them, as that may fix the problem. I also wonder why you want to use a drop-down menu, as using plain links would make a lot more practical sense. It would help to know what type of site you are developing this for.

Success!
