This is a normal drop down menu, however you can change the colors of the background in the list.  Replace each instance of #FFFFFF  with the color code of your choice.

value=#          (replace # with the address you want them to go to when you click on an item in the list)
---Menu---       (replace with the name you want for the item in the list)

Leave ---Menu--- on the first line and it will show Menu on the drop down when not in use.
(change to whatever wording you prefer)



Code:

<form name="color">
<select name="menu"

onChange="location=document.color.menu.options[document.color.menu.selectedIndex].value;"
value="GO">

<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>

</select>
</form>



If you would prefer the links to open in another window do the code this way instead:

Code:
<form name="form1">
<select name="menu" onChange="window.open(document.form1.menu.options[document.form1.menu.selectedIndex].value);">

<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>

</select>
</form>

Correct

The drop down menus are there but the links aren't working.  The first drop down worked once and then it stopped working.  I'm totally lost now.  Wish Calgon would come take me away right about now.  Any suggestions? 

Some how I managed to alter my style sheet to get it exactly how I wanted it but I can't manage a drop down box.  Grin Grin  Yep, I'm brand spanking new to this world.  Grin Grin

I know this is an old topic, but I do need help.  I can get the drop down box to work just fine, but can only get one to work at a time.  If I put in two drop downs, then neither of them work.  I used the original code posted by Sibyl, which is

Code:
<!-- Begin Colored Drop Down Menu -->

<form name="color">
<select name="menu"

onChange="location=document.color.menu.options[document.color.menu.selectedIndex].value;"
value="GO">

<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>
<option style="background-color: #FFFFFF" value="#">---Menu---</option>

</select>
</form>

Do I need to change something or add something with wanting to have two of them so they don't get confused and not work at all?  I even tried putting  <!-- Begin Colored Drop Down Menu 1-->  and  <!-- Begin Colored Drop Down Menu 2 -->, but that didn't work either.
Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Red.  Yep its getting confused.  You need to name each one differently if you use more then one.

Do the first part of the 2nd one this way and they will both work for ya

Code:
<form name="color2">
<select name="menu2"

onChange="location=document.color2.menu2.options[document.color2.menu2.selectedIndex].value;"
value="GO">

If you are wanting to use Custom Tabs so that you click on the tab or mouseover the tab and have a dropdown box -  NO.   You can not put code there, only a url... so there would not be a way to do that.

You could do something in your header like put a tab at the top of your forum and use a dropdown menu script - that'ld work  - sent ya a pm to show ya what i mean

A drop-down menu is exactly how it sounds, its a menu that will drop-down with options when you click the down-arrow on it.

If you place the code in your header, it will show up at the top. If you place it in the fotter, it shows up in the bottom.

You can also place it in an EzPortal block so you can have it show up where ever you would like. Smiley

clair - You set up the options in the dropdown box to go to whatever url's you want.  If I am reading you correctly you wondered if it could be used to make a dropdown box that has your forum's categorys in it?   Yes you can.   When you click on one in the dropdown box it will take you to that area on the forum where that Category is - not inside it.   Since you are using images for the Category names its a little trickier to get the url for the categorys but it can be done.   Go inside one of the Boards in a Category.   You'll see the image for the Category  in the navigation link at the top (under the tabs)    Right mouse click on the Category name, click Copy Shortcut.

just copy

If you put your mouse on top of the link,  right mouse click -   in IE you will see copy shortcut,  in firefox you will see copy link location.
