Yuck, those are pointless. DHTML sucks, I'd rather one put the links to certain sections upfront, rather than having to enable Active Scripting in order to go somewhere. :p

Can't you use perl? :rolleyes:

FORM:

<form action="crap.pl" method="get">
<select name="abspath">
<option value="crappy/text.html">Crappy Text
<option value="crappy/whatever.html">Crappy Something
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI qw/:param/;
$crap = param("abspath");
open(CRAP, $crap);
@listblah = ("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
@list = <CRAP>;
unshift (@list, @listblah);
print @list;
close(CRAP);

What's the need for so complicated a script for such a simple function?

HTML file:

<form action="/url/to/script.pl" method="get">
<select name="doesntmatter">
<option value="/url/to/opt/1">Option 1</option>
<option value="/url/to/opt/2">Option 2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>

Perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
($junk,$url)=split(/=/,$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});
$url=~s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
print "Location: ".$url."\n\n";

OOOIIII!!! Sorry, I missed the script tag when I pasted. :biggrin2: And a couple of semicolons. :p
I've added the crap above. :ditsy2:

Dusty

October 3rd, 2001, 20:30

And a couple of semicolons.That didn't matter, semicolons are optional in JavaScript anyway.

meow

October 3rd, 2001, 20:43

I use them and I forgot them. Is that OK with you?
Besides they can't always be ignored. Even I have sucked that much up. I prefer uniform code. Use them once, use them always.

This is my last post in the matter so no need to start a new -----ing war. The HTML forum has been a friendly place. Let's try to keep it that way.

oh and can i ask u something:
how do I make the box a certain size?
how do I make the box a certain color?
how do I make the button a certain color
how do I make the button a certain size
how do I make it that a word appear in the box but when clicked upon don't go to a link
and last of all I have an iframe, how do I make the links target as the iframe?:D

I WAS RIGHT! I WAS RIGHT! :D

I use them and I forgot them. Is that OK with you?Never said it wasn't, just said that that wasn't the reason your script didn't work.

I prefer uniform code.Ditto.

This is my last post in the matter so no need to start a new -----ing war.I only single out foolish ideas vocally supported by a number (that number is one) members of this forum, not to start a "-----ing war" but to try to see that they don't perpetuate. Had Le-- err, that member simply said "backgrounds aren't the best way but that's how I do it" and had that member not taken the hostility outside of the argument and into an unrelated thread by insulting me, the argument probably would have ended much quicker.

u can do it using CSS... I think

meow

Yup, it takes CSS.
I *think* this is a correct way to target the iframe, but you may want to check on that.

Change this bit:
window.location.href = window.document.weepform.weepselect[meow].value;

to this:
parent.NameOfFrame.location.href = window.document.weepform.weepselect[meow].value;
where NameOfFrame is the name of your iframe.

Assuming that an iframe functions like normal frames, you can try this: http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=100983#post100983

Not sure if it will work or not.
