php echo...javascript

[yandoo]

Hi there ,

 

I have a basic form with 2 drop downs....both are identical.....They are setup so that the option the user selects, that user is hyperlinked to that page....

 

My problem is that on the second drop down (which is identical) has a conditional statement stating that if user ha access level 2 then display!!

 

The conditional works fine....the problem is that the 2nd drop down now doent hyperlink to option chosen at all...yet the first one does....

 

This leads me to the concluion that echos for the 2nd drop down arnt working???

 

Heres my 2 drop downs in code form:

 

 <form name="AutoListBox" id="AutoListBox">
                      <td>
                        <div align="left">
                          <select name="ListBoxURL" size="1" language="javascript" onchange="gotoLink(this.form);">
                            <option value="animal.php"> Animal</option>
                            <option value="customer.php">Customer</option>                       
                            <option value="appointment.php">Appointment</option>
                            <option selected="selected"> -- Select -- </option>
                          </select>
                        </div></td></form>

 

// Show IF Conditional region1 
//echo @$row_user['Username'];
if (@$row_user_conditional['Access'] == "2") {

              echo "Admin: </div></td>";
                 echo '<td height="23" valign="top">';
			  echo'<form name="AutoListBox" id="AutoListBox">';
			  
			     echo '<div align="left">';
			        echo'<select name="select" size="1" language="javascript" onchange="gotoLink(this.form);">';
			         echo'<option value="animal.php"> Animal</option>';
			         echo'<option value="customer.php">Customer</option>';
			          echo'<option value="User.php">User</option>';
			         echo'<option value="appointment.php">Appointment</option>';
			         echo'<option selected="selected"> -- Select -- </option>';
			         echo"</select>";
			     echo"</div>";
			  echo"</form>";

} 
// endif Conditional region1
?>	

 

 

Im thinking (hoping) this is something that can be easily fixed....

 

any help would be sweet!

 

Thank You

you can easily right click on your page an select view code to see if the echo's are working.

Hi there,

 

The echos work as the 2nd drop down appears (when i access level 2). It just that they dont link to other page like the first drop down??

 

Ithought the IF conditional was stopping it in some way??

What is the JavaScript for gotolink()?

 

Also, it seems like there should only be 1 drop down with more items if the user is an admin like so:

 

                    <td>
                      <form name="AutoListBox" id="AutoListBox">
<?php if(@$row_user_conditional['Access'] == "2") echo "Admin: "; ?>
                        <div align="left">
                          <select name="ListBoxURL" size="1" language="javascript" onchange="gotoLink(this.form);">
                            <option value="animal.php"> Animal</option>
                            <option value="customer.php">Customer</option>                       
<?php if(@$row_user_conditional['Access'] == "2") { ?>
                            <option value="User.php">User</option>
<?php } ?>
                            <option value="appointment.php">Appointment</option>
                            <option selected="selected"> -- Select -- </option>
                          </select>
                        </div>
                      </form>
                    </td>

maybe try renaming the forms so they are different.

Hi there, thanks for reply!

 

The javascript is basic code to apply hyperlink to drop down.....At the moment, both drop downs offer the same options and links....

 

 

Also i may add...for testing purposes i have created a 3rd drop down with different options  hyperlinking to appropriate pages.....again this 3rd drop down works!!!

 

It is only the 2nd drop down with the IF statement conditional on it....

 

 

I forgot to add the code thats in the HEAD section of page:

<script language="JavaScript">

<!--
function gotoLink(form) {
var OptionIndex=form.ListBoxURL.selectedIndex;
parent.location = form.ListBoxURL.options[OptionIndex].value;}
//-->
</script>

 

What you think??

 

Thank You

Dont know if this helps but can see error on IE saying: "ListBoxURL.selectedindex" is null or not an object....

 

 

HHmm

 

Hope that helps

 

Thanks

Also tried renaming forms and same result...

 

With all these coincidences surely it must be the php IF statement....effecting it??

Just as I expected. It's looking for a form element called ListBoxURL, but in your second drop down, you named it 'select'. Also, remove the language="javascript", that should not be there.

 

Find

				        echo'<select name="select" size="1" language="javascript" onchange="gotoLink(this.form);">';

replace with

				        echo'<select name="ListBoxURL" size="1" onchange="gotoLink(this.form);">';
