As you can see, I've been playing with drop down boxes...I'm starting up a freeweb and I was going to litter an entire page with them XD

Would any of you know how I can get a different result for each option?

<FORM>
<SELECT name="quotemenu">
<OPTION>Character Quote of the Week<BR><BR></OPTION>
<OPTION onClick="alert('Yuna! This is our story! Now let\'s see this thing through together.')">Tidus</OPTION>
<OPTION onClick="alert('I like Tidus')">Yuna</OPTION>
<OPTION onClick="alert('I like Blitzball')">Wakka</OPTION>
<OPTION onClick="alert('I wear belts')">Lulu</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</FORM>

Is this what you mean? I haven't used these for ages but I just changed the html around a bit. You had onChange on the Select (whole menu) so I guess it appeared when anything changed. I made an OPTION for each character, changed onChange to onClick and put on each one so it alerts when you click each one.

I dunno if I did it with exact proper code but it seems to work :p

<*FORM*>
<*SELECT name="quotemenu"*>
<*OPTION*>Character Quote of the Week<*BR*><*BR*></*OPTION*>
<*OPTION onClick="alert('Yuna! This is our story! Now let\'s see this thing through together.')"*>Tidus</*OPTION*>
<*OPTION onClick="alert('I like Tidus')"*>Yuna<*/OPTION*>
<*OPTION onClick="alert('I like Blitzball')"*>Wakka</*OPTION*>
<*OPTION onClick="alert('I wear belts')"*>Lulu<*/OPTION*>
<*/SELECT*>
<*/FORM*>

Remove all the *s

I'm just curious, but obviously javascript and other things can be used for evil and probably will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. But buh? It's allowed?

I guess as long as it's not too annoying, but obviously somebody can put a sig that spams you (unintentionally or whatever) with 'PG is amzing!' messages.

we like to give people the benefit of the doubt until they start abusing the benefit and then we remove all the doubts.

CSS posi<b></b>tioning ftw?

I miss that. :{
<body style="cursor: crosshair; background: rgb(0,255,0);">
You can still do a whole lot of stuff with code though. In reality I think the filter should be more strict. :p</body>

That was my fault, I spent a day just renaming the whole forum, takes alot of effort to post in top 5 threads of each forum :p

When I started making sites, I thought this one was pretty good...it has a lot of basic html codes:
