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.
