Sorry Blue, after I posted the first part I lost the message. didnt realise you needed the extra part.

Looks like the others have sorted it

Suzanne is right, forms look hard but once you get it, your set, a little like tables.

forms are HTML, you dont need to know any JavaScript, but once you know forms you may wish to include it within them - there are so many options

good luck

Didnt realize you wanted a submit button.

Here ya go

<?php
                      <form name=\"form1\" method=\"post\" action=\"\">
                        <p><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\" color=\"#006600\">Through 
                          This Web Site</font> </p>
                        <blockquote> 
                          <p> 
                            <select name=\"menu1\" onChange=\"MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)\">
                              <option selected>Select</option>
                              <option value=\"sales.shtml\">Sales</option>
                              <option value=\"billing.shtml\">Billing</option>
                              <option value=\"kevin_kilcline.shtml\">Kevin</option>
                              <option value=\"christina_kilcline.shtml\">Christina</option>
                            </select>
                            <input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"go\">
                          </p>
                        </blockquote>
                      </form>
?>

Keegan, you could be right about the missing tags but then why does the code posted by Busy work ok ?

The script you have just posted now worked fine but still the problem of no submit button.

Suzanne, you are right again of course and I would have posted the url straight up by i'm not ready to put it 'out there' yet. Very soon though.

For what it's worth -- if you post a url, it's easier for people to troubleshoot for you. We can't tell if you're doing something wonky or not that would conflict or cause problems (like line breaks) without that.

{edit}The board keeps hacking off the last body and html tag. {edit}

You are probally missing the head tags to make the javascript itself work.
Test that in a new page.

You are quite right Suzanne I do need to learn about it. I looked at irt.org - looks quite complicated. But I'll give it a go.

I copied and pasted the code in your last post and it still doesn't work so beats the heck out of me. I tried another similar script and still the same problem. Maybe it's my browser or something. As far as I know java is enabled on it. It seems to start the search but returns to the same page.

Oh well, thanks for your help anyway.

Cheers, Blue

Opera
Windows
Netscape

You should really check out tutorials on JavaScript and forms. It would be worth your while. irt.org is a good place to start, but it will require some concentration on your part.

Thnaks Suzanne I just tried it but when I click submit it thinks for a minute but stays on the same page. Something I've done ain't right. Do I need to change the following values for the submit button ?

Do I delete the onChange tag when I create the onSubmit tag ?

Thanks, Blue

Actually...

Suzanne — Thu, 06 Sep 2001 02:26:50 +0000

It is JavaScript -- just embedded JavaScript.

it is NOT straight HTML.

To use a button, you would take the onChange="" information and put it into onSubmit="" in the element, and add a regular submit button to the form.

Yes its HTML its just a Form Select Box.
