Recommended Posts

I need help with a drop box.  Not a button that opens sub menus but I need a drop box like this...here the drop box is dropped down

http://irt.austincc.edu/blackboard/images/dropbox_send.gif

 

the ones where u click the little arrow on the right and more options come down

 

 

now i know how to create one of those but, how do u make it so, if drop box 1 says "size 1" and drop box 2 says "color:blue" it goes to one link

 

but if one drop box says "size 1" and the other says "color:green" it goes to another link?  thanks so much guys.

maybe not. this works but..its for a site that sells brochures, these brochures have many different options

 

 

if i do an "if this do that" for every option, itll take forever and get confusing. what else can i do?

 

 

these broshires have say, 3 dif thicknesses, then 3 different fold options, 3 different color options and say ...3 different size options. what can i do to make this easier?

Use a case statement.

 

<script type="text/javascript">
var red = 1;
var result = null;
switch (red) {
  case 1: result = 'one'; break;
  case 2: result = 'two'; break;
  default: result = 'unknown';
}
document.write(result);
</script>
