Hi,
How do you setup 2 Javascript dropdown menus for a page? With one script it works okay but when I add another one, it just hangs and don't work for both. Any ideas?
The example script is below:
<script language="JavaScript">
</script>
COUNTRY
Australia
California
Chile
France
Italy
Spain
South Africa
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I assume you're repeating the same code for each dropbox?
Then the problem is that there are two dropboxes with the same name.
Probably the simplest way to do it is to change the names of the dropboxes and repeat the code for each.
<script language="JavaScript"><!-- go to j-scripts.com
function goThere() {
if (document.jumpBox.theBox[document.jumpBox.theBox.selectedIndex].value != "") {
location = document.jumpBox.theBox[document.jumpBox.theBox.selectedIndex].value
}
}
function goThere2() {
if (document.jumpBox.theBox2[document.jumpBox.theBox2.selectedIndex].value != "") {
location = document.jumpBox.theBox2[document.jumpBox.theBox2.selectedIndex].value
}
}
//-->
</script>
<form name="jumpBox">
<select name="theBox" size="1" onChange="goThere()">
<option value="" selected>COUNTRY</option>
<option value="aust.htm">Australia</option>
<option value="califor.htm">California</option>
<option value="chile.htm">Chile</option>
<option value="fran.htm">France</option>
<option value="italy.htm">Italy</option>
<option value="spain.htm">Spain</option>
<option value="africa.htm">South Africa</option>
</select>
<select name="theBox2" size="1" onChange="goThere2()">
<option value="" selected>COUNTRY</option>
<option value="aust.htm">Australia</option>
<option value="califor.htm">California</option>
<option value="chile.htm">Chile</option>
<option value="fran.htm">France</option>
<option value="italy.htm">Italy</option>
<option value="spain.htm">Spain</option>
<option value="africa.htm">South Africa</option>
</select>
</form>

I've changed the name of the second dropbox to theBox2 and it's function to goThere2.
I hope this helps.

Sorry I forgot to mentioned, I did changed the script name so as not to have script conflict with each other but it still doesn't work. Not sure if it's allowed to use 2 scripts on a page, anyone tried it? Anyways, thanks Abhishek Reddy
