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;

  • Default values for dependent drop down menu

    Hi!
    I did create an insert record page that lets the user put in information using text fields. In addition the form has a dependent drop down menu for a category and then depending on the chosen category, the user is presented with choices in a second drop down menu for subcategories.
    The insert of the record itself works fine.
    The records are then listed in a table. A link to a details page should then list all fields of a chosen record. I have another form sporting them dependent drop down menus again. Since I retrieve a record from the database I would like to have the drop down menus default to the values stored in the database.
    But whatever I tried the menus always default to the respective first entries in each menu.
    I tried to use the "select value equal to" field in the "insert record" for the category and the "Default detail value" field in the dependent drop down item for the subcategory field.
    Any pointers anybody?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi there I cannot understand your request fully but I think I understand....
    I think I have done nearly exactly what you need
    I will try to explain
    for a start I am working on a art gallery site that has many different artists and many different paintings
    I am able to add a new artist and have that artist name appear automatically in a dropdown menu on my add painting form page so that when I add a new painting I do not have to type the arrtists name every time
    I am not sure this is what you need but I think maybe....
    (i have another site that displays different categories of jewellry... with a form that has same dropdown and can choose product category.... but the process is the same)
    the way I did it was to first create an 'artist_info' table in my database and an 'add artist page' pretty simple
    Then an painting_pnt table in my database and an 'add painting' page with a form that contains a dropdown menu that is dynamically populated from the artist_infotable... label from the artist_name field value from the artist_id field so the form uses two recordsets.......
    Then in my painting_pnt table I have a field that stores the artist_id
    So when I add a new artist..... the name automatically appears in the dropdown menu when I add a new painting I choose the artist name and then later I can filter recordsets on my detail pages using the id_artist....
    there is a lot more to it as well but that should get you started
    I hope this helps
    If you have any questions at all I will try to explain better

  • The BBC is a drop-down menu item on my bookmarks toolbar. About 20% of the time, when I click on a news story, I get the link that's underneath, not the one on the drop-down menu. What the?

    I don't understand why Firefox would take me to a link UNDERNEATH the link I clicked on in the drop-down menu. Items in the drop-down menu are supposed to be clickable. I'm tired of clicking on a BBC news story link only to be sent to the beanie babies page of Amazon.com.

  • The bookmarks in my drop-down menu do not appear when I try to "organize bookmarks". When I try to bookmark a page, the folders in the drop-down menu do not appear as choices.

    The trouble started when I transferred applications from my old computer. When I click "bookmarks", all my bookmarks are there. When I try to "Organize Bookmarks", it acts like I have no bookmarks. When I try to "Bookmark this page", it does not show all the folders that are in the drop-down menu. There are a number of bookmark files in the appdata\mozilla\firefox\profiles area, none of which are complete. I tried a backup and restore in the organize menu and a backup was created, but I don't know what was backed up. I suspect nothing was backed up. When I clicked a restore, nothing happened.

    I'm not familiar with Windows 7, but... is it possible there is a permissions problem with your profile folder, or read-only set on any database files?

  • My Firefox 5.0 doesn't have the new orange Firefox drop down menu (on the top left)

    I just upgraded to 5.0 and the new drop down menu that's supposed to be on the top left side isn't there. Do I have to enable it or is something else wrong?

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You can place the Tab Bar on top.

    Try a different browser, e.g. Firefox or Chrome instead of Safari.

  • Dynamic Drop Down Menu from an Access Database

    Hello Everyone,
    I am user Adobe Designer 7 to create a fillable PDF, and I would like to get the options for a drop down menu from my MS Access database. Basically I would like to populate the drop down menu with the names in the Access database. There i Have a table called PhoneNumbers and it contains the names of all the people I want to appear in the drop down menu that I just created.
    This is what I did:
    I created a drop down menu and then I clicked on Object > Binding > under "Default Binding (Open, Save, Submit)" choose "New Data Connection"
    then connect to the database using a fileDSN. I opened the table where with the "names" column (PhoneNumbers)
    and under the "Query," option, I wrote:
    select * from PhoneNumbers
    Then it gave me all the fields from the table and I dragged the "Last name" field over the drop down menu. I will need to find a way to get the "First Name" field to join the Last Name field to create one name that looks like this: Hill, Angie
    The problem is that even though it shows the name from the Access database, it does not give me a list of all the names when I open the form in Reader 7...
    No matter how much I click that drop down arrow, the name does not change...
    It's almost as if it gets to the databse and gets the data from the database, but it cannot loop through it...
    It's almost as if it's missing the code to loop through it...
    Why is this? Any ideas how to fix it so it gives me a list of ALL the names, when I click on the drop down button?
    After that, how can I add the first name to it?
    The form would look like this:
    Angie H. 202 641 2055
    Right now it does look like that, but I cannot change to another name when I click the drop down menu. For the code to be working when I change to another name, the phone number also changes to the phone number of that person:
    Barry S. 703 555 1258
    The name is in a drop down menu, the phone number is in a textbox.
    Can you help me with this?

  • 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.

  • When my iphone is connected to my Mac and I open iTunes, I can't find my photos.  Even the drop down menu doesn't even have an entry for photos.  I have music, books, movies, etc...but nothing for photos.  Where did it go?!

    Here is a screen shot of all my options when I open iTunes.

    Hey NFredrick45208,
    Thanks for the question. This drop down menu is actually specific to your local library. You'll want to select your iPhone in the upper right corner to browse the device:
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Furthermore, you may want to turn on the iTunes Sidebar to return to the layout of previous versions:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Customize the iTunes window
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12164
    Use the Sidebar to access your content, devices, and the iTunes Store
    You might want to show the Sidebar if, for example, you use a screen reader.
    Choose View > Show Sidebar.
    And finally, here is an article about importing your personal photos:

  • I edited my Drop Down Menu, yet the changes arent reflected online

    Hi everyone,
    I created a website for a friend, and I used Drop Down Menus
    for a image category. Now, I went back into the behaviors palette
    in DW, and I edited the name of one of the items in the menu. But
    when i uploaded my file back online, none of the changes took
    place, and this was in 5 different files. Here's the site:
    http://www.helenbwilson.com/
    If you click on the "Portfolio" button, a drop down menu
    should come out—but instead of saying "Godot and Mul." it
    should only say "Godot". Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
    I already re-uploaded my "mm_menu.js" file back online. Is
    there another file Im missing?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks everyone
    -Psy

    The mm_menu.js file is not controlling it.
    It is the JavaScript on the page:
    function mmLoadMenus() {
    After you make the changes you will need to upload the pages
    you made the changes on.
    BTW you might want to consider another option for that menu:

  • Form2mail how do I set up the form to sent to a recipient selected from a drop-down menu?

    I am trying to configure dreamweaver form2mail to be able to send the information submitted to individual employees.  I would like the form to be set up where as you choose the recipient form a drop down menu and the only that recipient would receive the information collected on the form.  I can't seem to find any information on this.  I can only find info on sending to multiple recipients at the same time.  I only want the recipient that is selected to receive the form information.
    Alternatively, can anyone recommend a low cost or FREE form to mail system.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    Jim, That is exactly what I need.  I'm using Form2Mail the Dreamweaver extension for Adobe Dreamweaver.  It only gives me the option to send to one email address or cc to multiple not individual sends.

  • Drop Down menu for navigation bar

    I created a site a couple years ago (with GoLive) with a
    navigation bar with rollover states. I would like to create
    something very similar to it now in Dreamweaver CS3 but with the
    addition of a drop down menu for just a couple of the navigation
    icons. I have been told by Adobe tech support on the phone that I
    need some custom coding to do this.
    To see what the navigation bar looks like now go to
    www.aimeeastvillage.com
    I DON"T need the drop down choices to be in a whimsical font.
    I just don't want to have to direrct the reader to go to an
    additional page. PLEASE tell me this is possible for a relative
    beginner! Thanks.
