 Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 12:00 am How to have multiple images to one selection on a drop down |
 |
|
|
Hi Guys, Please be gentle with me as I am an HTML virgin!
I have my drop down box codes, but when say London is selected I want it to show all of my London properties? At the moment I can only show one picture. There maybe up to 6 apartments per destination!
Is this possible? I have googled and googled and can't find any codes. I have even tried my own variations.
thank you!

Don't know unless you post all code you're working with and preferably an online link to problem page.

 To help, we need the code you are working with and I would like to see the code in place on your web site to make sure no other code may be giving additional problems. |

DUFUS! Sorry I was so tied up with trying to figure out the codes I might need I didn't read your reply properly! I seem to be making my life difficult at the moment!
Anyway, here is the basic code I am using, when one of the towns is selected I would like to show at least 4 photos.
I haven't published it to my website yet as I don't have all the pictures I want.
<form method=post action="/cgi-bin/example.cgi">
<right>
Select an Area:
<select>
<option selected>Area</option>
<option>Calahonda</option>
<option>Mijas Golf</option>
<option>Benalmadena</option>
<option>Fuengirola</option>
<option>El Faro</option>
</select><br>
</center>
</form>
My web builder is playing up at the mo so I can't send you the codes which include the picture links!
Thanks
Joanne |

Basically, when you make one of those selection, would you like it to go to a separate page that has the images with the captions related to each?
That can be done. |

| If that's the way you want it to work. On select of "Calahonda", it can jump to that page with all your images for that region is that how you want to lay it out? |

| Yes, thats it exactly. I have worked out a crappy way of doing it! Which is to create an album page in "my Pictures" and then up load one page with four different images on, but then I don't get script space! |

This may help a little better. This will open new window/tab to the other page.
Between Head tags:
| Code: |
<script type="text/JavaScript">
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
var s = selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value;
window.open(s);
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}
</script> |
Between body tags:
| Code: |
<form name="form1" action="null">
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<option selected>-- select --</option>
<option value="area.html">Area</option>
<option value="calahonda.html">Calahonda</option>
<option value="mijas_golf.html">Mijas Golf</option>
<option value="benalmadena.html">Benalmadena</option>
<option value="fuengirola.html">Fuengirola</option>
<option value="el_faro.html">El Faro</option>
</select>
</form> |
Each HTML file is using a relative path, but insert whatever path you plan to use to link. Now all you need is the code for each page as named to show the contents as you want. Either as a photo album or gallery. Might look into using something like LightBox.
I hope this is closer to what you want. |

| Hey this is pretty much exactly what I'm looking to do as well, but I don't want it to open up a whole new tab, i just want it to open up in the current frame that it's already in. How do I add that? Thanks for the help! |

You browser is controlling whether the links open in a new window/tab. Have you set the options correctly? Web pages can not control how viewers open links/pages in their browsers. Nor should they ever have that control.
You say current frame. Are you using frame pages? |
