I'm not exactly sure what's going on in your posts (???), but for the drop down box you want select:

 

<select name="thingy">
<option value="1" />
<option value="2" />
<option value="3" />
<option value="4" />
</select>

[yanivkalfa]

I do know how to make it i just dont know how to make its Picure diffrant.

[jordanwb]

What do you mean make it's picture different? Unless English is not your first language could you put some effort into using proper grammer(garmmer is not in Firefox's dictionary, lol) and spelling please?

[yanivkalfa]

there is  this ..

<select name="select" id="select">
  <option value="aa">aa</option>
  <option value="sds">sds</option>
  <option value="sdfsa">dfsd</option>
</select>

which i understood is called combobox

and i want to try to make this combobox looks like this menu in this site:http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/

click on the languge place and see how this opens the list.

 

i want something like that just as Combobox or as Jumplist which look like this:

<form name="form" id="form">
  <select name="jumpMenu" id="jumpMenu" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
    <option value="a">item1</option>
    <option value="s">item2</option>
    <option value="a">item3</option>
    </select>
</form>

 

and i dont know how its exactly working . though i know what it does ..

you basicaly pick 1 of the options and some other variable changes .. like text field or something like that..

anyways i hope i am a bit mroe clear now .

The irony is that you spelled grammar[/br] wrong!

Lol that is ironic. I didn't see "grammar" in the list even though it is.

That's done with Flash not HTML and CSS.

[yanivkalfa]

well Its done with HTML and CSS . mate not flash . Sorry to disapoint you :-) . i mean in this site its flash but it can be done with css i am almost sure

[yanivkalfa]

Well if its only flash to do so. i have something else i would like to know

<form name="form" id="form">
  <select name="jumpMenu" id="jumpMenu" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
    <option value="a">item1</option>
    <option value="s">item2</option>
    <option value="a">item3</option>
    </select>
</form>

this is the HTMl thingy for Jump meu .. its when you have some options and a text field or a window and when you click on 1 o the Options this text field/window changes acording to your choise i thinks it has some java scripts in it but dont know . how its done . thanks in advanced

[Wolphie]

It's

<select multiple></select>

 

Example:

<select multiple size="4">
  <option>Option 1</option>
  <option>Option 2</option>
  <option>Option 3</option>
  <option>Option 4</option>
</select>

[yanivkalfa]

your mistaken btween select box to jump box mate. they are 2 diffran things

[Wolphie]

Please do clarify how exactly I'm mistaken? If that is the case, it's due to your poor explanations and descriptions.

 

If you're asking for help on something specific, state it as clearly as you can, with a description on what you want and what you're trying to achieve. Thank you.

 

As a matter of elaboration, they're both "select" box elements. A "jump" box as you so describe is just a select box with some JavaScript implemented into it.

 

Now please, explain as best you can what you want, and what you're trying to achieve.

[yanivkalfa]

First of all thanks for trying to help me .

i will try to explain as simple as i can and as clear as i can

go visit this links for a secs :http://www.webapplikations.com/pages/html_js/forms/DropDownShowSelectionInTextField.html

it has exactly what i want

i mean .. i have select box (or jump box ) and a text field when i select 1 of the options from the select box .. the text field get the values that inside the jumpbox .

i dont know how clearer i could be mate . realy trying :-)

[haku]

The box on that site is definitely flash. It would be pretty hard to recreate it with HTML, CSS and Javascript. It could be done, but why bother - it would be choppy and would take ten times the amount of time to do with HTML/CSS/Javascript as it would take with flash, and probably wouldn't be as good.

 

You can create similar effects using javascript if you don't care about the background image on the drop down menu. They will slide out in the same way, but they will just be boxes with borders. Google 'suckerfish dropdown menus' and you should find what you want.

 

edit: I see you just posted another example. That's fairly easy. Create an onclick listener on the select menu, so that when it is clicked it reads in the value that has been selected. Then use document.getElementById to get the text field, and insert that value into the text field.

[yanivkalfa]

mate thanks . problem is i realy have no idea what so ever about Javascrip i know i sould learn it . i basicaly more into CSS / PHP and HTML corrently soon it will be ajax / and JS and maybe dhtml wel if theres any ways you give me example of how this thingy works i will kiss you .

[haku]

Heh, with that comment, I sure hope you are a girl!

[yanivkalfa]

Well is there a way of ignoring my gender and trying helping me about this mate ? i am realy stucked here. without this

[haku]

I'm sorry, I'm more than happy to help people with code they are having troubles with, but I write code for money all day, so I don't really want to do it for free at home. You could try the freelance section, you should be able to find someone who will do it cheaply for you.

[yanivkalfa]

neh never mind i will learn how to do it my self it will take A bit longer but i will do it my self no point Paying for something so minor .thanks anyways dude

[lemmin]

It really seemed like you were asking a different question, earlier. This will work just like that example site.

<select onchange="txt1.value = this.value;">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
<input id="txt1" type="text">
