I'm a total HTML newb, here x.x

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?

Character Quote of the Week


Tidus
Yuna
Wakka
Lulu

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

Remove all the *s

Okie dokie, thanks n.n

*nods*, that is the correct javascript :D

I would recommend looking into Dynamic Drive as they have alot of neat scripts like that ^_^

Thanks a bunch :spin:

No problem, if ya need any further help just give me a PM or post another thread here, tisn't like I ever leave the help forum xD

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.

=(

No, mentioning you is a bannable offense now so swear filtered :(

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

CSS positioning ftw?

I miss that. :{

You can still do a whole lot of stuff with code though. In reality I think the filter should be more strict. :p

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:
Funky Chickens HTML Help!

very basic; it hasn't been updated since I used it to learn html. . . six years agoxD
