mat420 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 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.

mat420 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 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?

haku Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Unfortunately, you have to do the if-else statements. Welcome to the world of programming!

Xurion Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 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> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/105534-easy-drop-down-boxmenu-question/#findComment-541584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Heh, my bad. And actually, that's a very good point! No need for all the if/else statements.
