Hi,

I was wondering if any1 has an idea on how to do a select like the ebay one next to the search bar. the way it has a an arrow image and moves the one below in a bit. I tried using css but no luck with it ?

you can see what i mean here (just click on the select next to the search and scroll to the top)

@KossuMay 16.2005 — Hi!

You need to use forms and drop-down boxes for that.. Here's one example:

Scroll down the page to the drop box example.

Hope that's any help.

@KossuMay 16.2005 — Oh, sorry.. Now i see what you meant.

Ebay seems to use some javascript with that drop-down box.. Maybe you could ask some advice in the javascript forum? At least my bag of tricks is empty here =)

@SanimMay 16.2005 — Or it might just be an ACSII character (example: &copy? in front of the "computing" text if you can put stuff like that in a select menu.

@SanimMay 16.2005 — I looked at the source, and this is what eBay used:
[code=html]
<option value="-1&amp;catref=C6">&gt; All Categories</option>
[/code]
I dunno. If it's not a big deal, I'd just drop it. &gt; is the greater than sign, and the symbol there certainly didn't look like a >.

@k0r54authorMay 17.2005 — mmm.

tricky, why would they have the &gt there though???

@k0r54authorMay 17.2005 — ill post it on the javascript forum, but if any1 has any ideas, please let me know

Thanks
