HTML (?) Question.. How To Do This..

[Lee]

What im wanting to do is have two drop down boxes on a page, one for a 'niche' and one for a movie 'clip'.

When a 'niche' is selected, a list of 'clips' then appear.

When a 'clip' is selected, it then plays.

Does anyone know if this can be done purely in HTML or whether i need to be getting a script to handle this?

Regards,

Lee

If you have DW, check their code snippets.. if I recall I think they have one for dropdowns in there... but not certain...

[BDBionic]

<option> </option>

tags around stuff should create drop down menus.

for example... this code:

<select name="clip menu thingy">
                      
                        <option value="">Clip</option>
                      
                        <option value="clip1">clip1</option>
                      
                        <option value="clip2">clip2</option>
                      
                        <option value="clip3">clip3</option>

                        <option value="clip4">clip4</option>
                      
                        <option value="clip5">clip5</option>
                      

                    
                      </select>

should create a dropdown menu giving those 5 clips as options to select.

Okay dont think i explained myself correctly LOL

I have the two drop down menus atm, however, i want the first drop down menu, to change the contents of the 2nd drop down menu depending on what has been selected.

I dont have DW either Ian unfortunately

ah ok. then you do this...

<make it do="ok now make these menu options appear in a drop down when someone selects the appropriate thing on the previous menu">
                      
                        <option value="">Clip</option>
                      
                        <option value="clip1">clip1</option>
                      
                        <option value="clip2">clip2</option>
                      
                        <option value="clip3">clip3</option>

                        <option value="clip4">clip4</option>
                      
                        <option value="clip5">clip5</option>
                      

                    
                      </make it do>

... ok just kiddin. i have no idea how to do what you're saying.

[Lee]

Hahaha.

I had thought i could do it by building a page for each of the options on the first drop down menu but thats a little to much more work than i feel like doing right now LOL

I know there is a way to do this because most feed providers have something similar.

Ive seen it on a couple of pysite feeds but apart from not remembering which ones, i think they all had right-click disable scripting on the pages.

On the plus side though, im gonna have fun tonight finding which site i saw the feed on

It's not two select codes but it works the same way - you may be able to manipulate it

Also try http://www.dynamicdrive.com/. They have a bunch of different drop-down menus you might want to try.
