O.P. Dropdown boxes
OKay, I have the code sorted out for a dropdown box, but it doesn't change when I select them, I don't want a button, because it looks ugly, I would like the page to change when I select the certain item.
code:
<p align="right">
<form name="form1">
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<option style="color:gray;">Select your language here</option>
<option value="english/index.html">English</option>
</select>
</form>
</p>

RE: Dropdown boxes
And what is the code for MM_jumpMenu()?
Something like this is often used to do that:
code:
onchange="self.location=document.form1.menu1.options[this.selectedIndex].value;"
You can change self for the name of the frame/window.
Hack, hack, hack!

RE: Dropdown boxes
code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function changelanguage(){
var selectedItem=document.form1.menu1.selectedIndex
document.mainframe.src = "http://http://mpsupport.killercarrot.co.uk/Language/" + selectedItem
}
</script>
<p align="right">
<form name="form1">
<select name="menu1" onChange="changelanguage()">
<option selected>English</option>
<option>Welsh</option>
</select>
</form>
</p>
so english would be 0, welsh 1, etc etc...
would it be that hard to ask me once in a while

Sorry, I'm used to just posting on here  .
Thanks for your help anyway  . But, its not in a folder called languages, so that would make it void ... they're in seperate folders for each language... |

RE: Dropdown boxes
<html>
<head>
<title>blah</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changelanguage(fMenu) {
var iSelectedItem = fMenu.selectedIndex
var sLanguage = fMenu.options[iSelectedItem].value;
// If you're using frames (eg: you have a frame called TestFrame):
parent.TestFrame.location.href = "http://blah.com/" + sLanguage + "/help.htm";
// If you're not using frames:
// document.location.href = "http://blah.com/" + sLanguage + "/help.htm";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1">
<select name="menu1" onChange="changelanguage(this)">
<option selected value="en">English</option>
<option value="we">Welsh</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
* do not use the 'item name' as the attribute to get to your pages. Use the 'item value' instead as some language names can/will contain invalid characters for URLs. Also this is much more versitile; you don't need to update all your page urls if you change the language name a bit...
* do not use '.src', use '.location.href' for compatibily reasons
* with the use of 'this' in the form, you assign the current object's name. Much more versitile then adding it in your script directly (eg: you can have multiple menu's, and yet only 1 function)
PS: this is nothing new, but the host killercarrot.co.uk has had always had serieus troubles in their DNS updates (or whatever). I know many people who can access that site, including me. And this isn't the first time this happened, the other sites hosted on killercarrot had problems in the past also.

like I said, I (just like many others) can't access your site... I really suggest to get another host. The problem I'm experiencing atm is nothing new and happens regulary with killercarrot.co.uk...
But if you're not using frames it would be:
document.location.href = "http://mpsupport.killercarrot.co.uk/" + sLanguage + "/index.html";
and depending on the values in the list (eg: "en", "we") you need to have your pages at:
http://mpsupport.killercarrot.co.uk/en/index.html
http://mpsupport.killercarrot.co.uk/we/index.html
note: '//' are comment lines in javascript
