Pass a url variable to javascript for drop down menu

Hello,
I'm in over my head as far as javascript goes. This is what I
am trying to do. I have this URL...
http://www.grasshorse.com/prod2.cfm?SortBy=all&ProdAbbr=shm
I want to take the variable for ProdAbbr which in this case
is "shm" and make that a variable in javascript. So that I can add
the variable to a dynamic link I'm using for a drop down menu.
mm_menu_0520211545_0.addMenuItem("All Departments","location='prod.cfm?SortBy=all&ProdAbb r=eval(ProdAbbr)'");
I really have no clue what to do. I haven't hardly used
javascript at all and I'm looking for some charity. Does anyone
have any ideas on how I can do this?
Thanks
Steve
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Code placement for drop down menu within an animated button

I have a main menu comprised of 7 buttons; 6 of which are all
straight forward with an animation. (The animation is that when the
buttons are rolled over the button extends itself out to the right.
On the rollout the button returns to its original state.) The 6 all
function fine.
The 7th menu button is the same idea but with the edition of
a two button drop down menu that appears when the main button is
rolled over. The roll over part is fine. My problem is moving the
cursor off the main button to get to the sub-menu items without
having them disappear once the cursor if off the main 7th button.
Within the time line of the 7th button (all of the buttons
are movie clip buttons) I put an invisible button, removing the
sections over both the main button and the sub buttons. I have
tried the following:
(I should point out that the labels within the button for the
animation are an _up, _over and _out states...the buttons animate
out in the _over label and animate back to the original position in
the _out label,)
The code and where I have (unsuccessfully) tried placing it
are as follows:
1.) On the invisible button itself (within the main button):
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("_out");
2.) On the Actions layer (within the main button):
invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
gotoAndPlay("_out");
3.) On the Actions layer (on the main timeline...which is
where the code for the other 6 buttons is and running as should):
btnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
btnMusic_mc.gotoAndPlay("_out");
4.) Just a slight variation of #3 (still on the Actions layer
of the main timeline):
btnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
brnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.gotoAndPlay("_out");
The result for all four of these options has been the same.
In rolling over the main button (btnMusic_mc) it does animate out
as it should, exposing the two sub buttons. But moving the cursor
off the btnMusic_mc neither allows me to reach the sub buttons nor
does the btnMusic_mc animate back to its first position (as it
should). It just snaps back into that position.
Clearly I am missing something here. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Here is what it should read, and does on Safari:

No, it shouldn't and it doesn't. It should look like :
Rates, Hours, Reservations
Rates and Hours

FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
FAQ and Reserve - Training
Here's the correct part :
<select>

</select>
The <select> item was missing. And if you don't want the first line in the menu (Rates, Hours, Reservations) then don't enter it in the first place.
BTW, it's not a dropdown menu. It's a selection list in a form.

Creating of a badi for drop down menu in ADobe form

Hi ,
Can you let me know what FM ( Function module ) should i use

Drop down menus, loke some other festures, aren’t available at that time.
But there is a fine widget to achieve that:

I think the problem may be with the speed that the comparisons are made.
If I type as fast as I can, I can get to the correct Number. If I pause for
very long (1/2 sec ??? ) during the typing it will stall out at the last match.
I am not sure if there are any settings for the keyboard (like typematic rate)
that would help any. Since most part numbers (at least the ones I use) are
in sequence this may be a real problem.
Ex.
323-1234-001
323-1234-002
It would be very difficult for me to get to the -002
I can type 30 wpm but the words are gibberish !!

JavaScript and Drop down menu help?

Hi,
I'm having trouble trying to get options in my drop down menu to update in another section. I have the below script in a hidden field and everything seems to be working but it keeps picking up the last line only when doing calculations (i.e 48) when I change it in the drop down menu to say "HBZ-200" which has the value of 200 it is still only picking up the last line and value of 48.
So to put a little perspective on things the below script is in a hidden field called stndwatt, I then want to calculate that in another hidden field called calc which has the following calculations - (Qty3+ballconsump)-stndwatt, this should then update my visible field called ElectYear1 which then has the calculations of - (Qty1+Qty2)*(Qty4*Qty5*Qtycost*calcs*weeksinyear)/1000, as far as I can work out my stndwatt field is only picking up the last line below which is 48.
I'm sorry if this is vague I'm not very familar with JavaScript or PDF forms and have been scratching my head all day with this.
var v = this.getField("ProductLineOne").value;
if (v=="T101221W-30 (3000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-40 (4000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-50 (5000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-60 (6000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="HBZ-100 (100W LED High Bay)") event.value = "100";
else if (v=="HBZ-150 (150W LED High Bay)") event.value = "150";
else if (v=="HBZ-200 (200W LED High Bay)") event.value = "200";
else if (v=="ZSL-48W (48W LED Shop Light)") event.value = "48";

Are you sure the code you posted here is EXACTLY the same as the code in
your file? Did you copy&paste it?
If so, can you share the file in question?

Trouble with iWeb code snippet for drop down menu

Hello,
So, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this out and it goes beyond my knowledge, to be honest. I'm working on a website for someone and when viewed in Safari for Mac or iPad or even iPhone, it all works out great. But, when viewed in any other browser for Mac or Windows, the drop down doesn't display the "menu heading," only what should be the first drop down selection. Not only that, that page now becomes "unselectable" and more or less dead.
Here is what it should read, and does on Safari:
Rates and Hours
FAQ - Yoga
FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
On all other browsers, it displays the FAQ - Yoga option as the "title" and only displays the other two options. So, is this something that can be fixed in the code snippet or is what I'm seeing a more involved HTML issue that would require actual skills to fix? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated because I'd love to get this knocked out and also pick something up in addition. If I have to edit the actual HTML pages themselves I could do that as well; I've got an editor and have done that for my own site when needed. Anyway, thank you very much in advance!

CSS Drop down menu; how to align the right edge of drop down and parent menu?

Hello everyone,
I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well.
The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned.
I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned.
I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use.
Thank you!
Here is my code:
.chromestyle{
     width: 100%;
     font-weight: bold;
     float: left;
     height: 29px;
.chromestyle:after{ /*Add margin between menu and rest of content in Firefox*/
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
.chromestyle ul{
border: 0px solid #BBB;
width: 100%;
background: url(chromebg.gif) center center repeat-x; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/
padding: 4px 0;
margin: 0;
text-align: right; /*set value to "left", "center", or "right"*/
.chromestyle ul li{
display: inline;
.chromestyle ul li a{
color: #000000;
padding: 4px 7px;
margin: 0;
text-decoration: none;
border-left: 1px solid #DADADA;
.chromestyle ul li a:hover, .chromestyle ul li a.selected{ /*script dynamically adds a class of "selected" to the current active menu item*/
background: url(chromebg-over.gif) center center repeat-x; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/

Drop-down Menu to Open URL for File Download

I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5 and was wondering if it is possible to create a drop-down menu that can be used to open different URLs for file downloads, kind of like the Attachments button Presenter has. Captivate seems to have a dropdown widget available but I can't tell if this would work for this purpose.

Hi Theo
You can use any composition to create a menu with setting for show target on rollover and then link targets to specific pages.

What is the URL for Firefox start page, need to put it into drop down menu.

unable to locate the url address for Mozilla Firefox Start Page to add to my drop down menu of homepage choices, I also called customer service 2x and hung up on me both times.
I am attempting to make Firefox my home page as well as default browser, the browser was easy but finding the https www address is not. please advise. I was using Chrome as browser but am in the process of deleting all previous due to malware.

hello, the default homepage in firefox is '''about:home'''.
since you have one adrware addon present in firefox as well, i'd recommend to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

You could try something like this in your "onchange" event of the drop down.
var sSelectedItem = xfa.event.newText; // get the item from the drop down
     switch (sSelectedItem) {
        case "Item 1":
             window.location = "http://www.website1.com"
            break;
         case "Item 2":
            window.location = "http://www.website2.com"
            break;

How to store session variables in drop down menu (and radiobutton/checkbox)

How am I going to store session variables in the drop down menu, radio button, checkbox.
In text area, I do like below:

Any idea?

Hi jeffkyt79, I could have answered this on Expert's Exchange. But I suppose it would be hard as the site is down right now :-(
Here is sample code for the form:

out.println(session.getAttribute("field1"));
} %>"><br>

And here's the revised javascript function to put in form1.jsp:
function newWin() {
f=document.form1.elements;
str="?";
mypage="test2.jsp"; // I've hardcoded the url for testing but you can fix this
for (i=0;i<f.length;i++) {
if (f.type=="text") {
if (f[i].value!="") {
str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].value+"&";
          continue;
     if (f[i].type=="checkbox"||f[i].type=="radio") {
     if (f[i].checked) {
     str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].value+"&";
     if (f[i].type=="select-one") {
     str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].options[f[i].selectedIndex].value+"&";
str=str.substr(0,str.length-1);
// now open the popup
mypage+=str;
win=window.open(mypage, 'myname'); // I've left out the winprops but you can fix this
If you can ask any more questions, could you do it on EE (if possible!!). I know this works because I've tested it.

How can i create a drop down menu for set qty in my store?

I'm wondering how i can create a drop down menu for the qty module that sits on the individual product page. My client sells in quantities of 6 packs. I currently have the minimum order at 6 but i would like to give consumers the option for 6,12,18...and so forth. I was told that it could be accomplished? Hopefully someone can help me.

Hi Chris -
Thank you for your reply! I had seen your article before, and just now again attempted to follow it, but I get stuck. There are two things that I'm confused by.
First off, toward the top, referring to the initial button, you say to add this interaction:
ON CLICK; Play Transition to comboBox: selected
ON ROLL OUT; Play Transition to comboBox normal if comboBox is in over state
ON ROLL OVER; Play Transition to comboBox over if comboBox is in normal
However, I do not see these transition options. When I select the button, the only interactions I have are to Play transistion to state, Play action sequence, Go to URL, and two for videos. So that's the first roadblock for me.
But, trying to get passed that, I went down to the portion of the article that refers to adding interaction to the dataset items. Again, I don't get it, as I see no way to add interaction to a dataset item. When I open my design-time data menu, I do see the items, and am able to rename each item, add additional rows, and change the shape of the datalist layout. However, I see no way to add an interaction to a dataset item. I must be missing a step ... Can you help with this?
Again, thank you!
Amy

</body>
</html>thats my code for part of database, in the parts that go "if CID = 0", thats the new record field, in there right now i just have users put in info into blank input fields, however, i would like to know if i can make certain fields, like Mraketer, and Counterparty fields to have drop down menus, Anyone know??

So basically the main focus of what I was askin is in this block of code below:
if (CID == 0) {
          // Do the insert via a PreparedStatement
          java.sql.PreparedStatement ps = null;
          ps = db.prepareStatement("insert into hit_or_miss values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
          ps.setInt(1, nID);
          ps.setString(2, DE);
          ps.setString(3, SI);
          ps.setString(4, TT);
          ps.setBigDecimal(5, NTL);
          ps.setString(6, ST);
          ps.setString(7, CP);
          ps.setString(8, ED);
          ps.setString(9, SD);
          ps.setString(10, MD);
          ps.setString(11, CT);
          ps.setString(12, MRKTR);
          ps.setBigDecimal(13, SC);
          ps.setBigDecimal(14, MP);

     }     when CID = 0, what it does is it pops up a new window called "New Record" and in this new window, there are boxes where inputs can be made, so that when u hit submit, it submits into the database.
What I want to do is, for example, there is a input field called "Marketer" where one can type in his own name as the Marketer, I want make this into a drop down box, where you can pick the marketer, and not have to type it in.
You know how websies have New User, where you create a new user that is added to their database, and usually the COUNTRY field is a drop down menu where you pick the country from. I would like to do that to my database, and this is the area, or the code, that deal w/ new record "IF CID =0" and edit record "ELSE"
Is this possible?
Thanks in Advance

Pass a url variable to javascript for drop down menu
