Hi guys, i've downloaded the dropdown javascript and customised it as best as I can.
What i'm trying to do (i'm not a webdesigner, not really interested in becoming a webdesigner, just trying to get this working) - I have one dropdown list. Selecting an item on the first dropdown list auto populates the second dropdown list. Got that working OK. yay me. Now...this script has a third dropdown box. I don't want this. At all. I've tried removing the 3rd dropdown box, but if I do, it stuffs the second dropdown box up and it doesn't work (I've spent several hours on this trying to figure it out, but alas...). I'm at a loss and I'm honest enough to admit that I need help with this.
Take into account that I don't know javascript. I can sort of understand bits and pieces, but not the whole picture by no means. I don't want to learn javascript. All i want to do is to get this thing working. Plain and simple, nothing more, nothing less. This is a means to an end for me, nothing more and nothing less.
I did want a button (named "Go"). What I had envisioned was once I selected the item in the 2nd drop down menu, I clicked on the Go button and it took me to a page with information on it. I know how to do the go button, it's not particularly difficult, but I honestly have no idea on how to get rid of this 3rd dropdown box and make the link from when I click on the item in the second dropdown box and then click the Go button (and therefore open up another webpage).
All help appreciated. Bear in mind that whilst i'm partially familiar with html, I really know nothing about javascript. I don't really have a programming background, although i've tinked with a very smidgen of C++ and python a few years ago.
Feel free to peruse the attached .txt file which is what i've done so far...feel free to help, suggest, explain to myself what is going wrong, if some kind person would be helpful enough to show me how to code the rest of what i'm missing i'd be even more ecstatic.
Many thanks in anticipation.
