Help with Drop Down Menu

[garyfitz]

Hello,

On my website (still under development) http://www.play181.com , I've got a Navagation menu on the left hand side as an Iframe. But I cant get the Drop Down Menu links to work. The pages dont load for me. I've had a browse around google but I didnt find much information.

Any help would be great
Thanks

Try this link for i-frame navigation bars -

Make sure you have looked at the tutorials and that your navigation bar works before you put it in an i-frame. It is very easy once you get the hang of it.

That trick works with Menu-bars alright but it doesnt seem to with Drop Down menus. I'm using that tutorial in fact on my current menu bar, and it works fine. But it doesnt work with Drop Down Menus.

Gary,

Question: on the drop down menu bar you created, how did you insert spaces between the words? I cant seem to space them out.

Thanks

The dropdown list box works just great. It openup all the games links in the central frame.
Headlands, this is nav bar (according to BV terminology) , not a menubar.Please look at your other post.

Re: Help with Drop Down Menu

I sorted it out. You need to put this in your HEAD

<script>
<!--
function land(ref, target)
{
lowtarget=target.toLowerCase();
if (lowtarget=="_self") {window.location=loc;}
else {if (lowtarget=="_top") {top.location=loc;}
else {if (lowtarget=="_blank") {window.open(loc);}
else {if (lowtarget=="_parent") {parent.location=loc;}
else {parent.frames[target].location=loc;};
}}}
}
function jump(menu)
{
ref=menu.choice.options[menu.choice.selectedIndex].value;
splitc=ref.lastIndexOf("*");
target="";
if (splitc!=-1)
{loc=ref.substring(0,splitc);
target=ref.substring(splitc+1,1000);}
else {loc=ref; target="_self";};
if (ref != "") {land(loc,target);}
}
//-->
</script>

And on each of the options put *_top after the link like such

<option value="<A href="http://www.play181.com/BLACK.html*_top">Black</option>[/QUOTE">http://www.play181.com/BLACK.html*_top">Black</option>

You can try using my code Robert.

<form action="dummy" method="post"><select style="width:133px" STYLE="font-family : arial;
font-size : 8pt "name="choice" onChange="jump(this.form)"><
<option value="#">Select Game</option>
<option target="_blank" value="URL ADDRESS<A href="http://www.play181.com/3dsudoko.html*_top">3D">"> BLA BLA BLA</option>
</select>
</form>

Re: Help with Drop Down Menu

Hi there, I have another question regarding drop down menus. I read NavalDesign's tutorial, great work, my question though is can I create the same drop down menu with my own customizable buttons I've designed. In the Navbar option there are buttons to choose from but it does not allow to enter an image file for a button one has created. Is there a way around this, and if so, would someone care to explain.

It is for this site I am creating, www.prettypupsgrooming.com/home.html , if you click on you can see what type of buttons I am talking about.

Thanks,

Pablo

ps...Navaldesign, attendo una tua risposta, perche pare che te ne intendi pi&#249; di tutti!
