Dynamic dropdown menu (Country Chooser)

[komlos]

Hi,

I'm using http://javascript.internet.com/forms/country.html form which populates second dropdown based on the selection in the first one. It is neat because it also works in Netscape.

However I'd like to customise it because in the arrays it uses text as values and I like to use text as well as values in these arrays. As values I'd like to use numbers.
Something like:

var namericaArray = new Array("('Select country','',true,true)",
"('1,Canada')", "('2,USA')", "('3,Other')");

How can I do this by customising this script?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks but it didn't help me. I'm not a JS programmer. I'd like to have the 'country chooser' modified. What row should I add and where?

thanks

[khalidali63]

explain your question a bit more( what kind of modification you want ) to that script.

1. I'd like to use this script for my categories and subcategories. In the first dropdown there would be the categories and the second would be the subcategories.

The original script has country names as values in its arrays. In order for this script to be compatible with my exisiting system I'd like to use the id# of the categories as VALUEs and the category names as the text name to display in the dropdowns.
Like: <option value="1">Canada</otion>

So I suppose something like this instead of the original:

var namericaArray = new Array("('Select country','',true,true)",
"('1,Canada')", "('2,USA')", "('3,Other')");

2. My second problem is that it doesn't work in NETSCAPE 4.7 if you are inside the member area. It reloads the page every time, and it doesn't let you select an option. The same page works fine outside the area without member verification. What could be the problem?

This is outside the member area:

Hi guys.

I need the "Country Chooser" in my site, but I am a javascript
beginner, so... is not lacking a go button on that script?

Well, I choose a region, then a country and so what? Where (how!)
I go to a new page, depending on my choice?

Can you help me? What line code is missing in the script to make it
realy works?

Thanks in advance!
Dickson.

Pardon me...But i don't believe any of us out here understand wat u trying to ask in there...

[Dickson]

Ok, let me explain better...

There is the "Country Chooser" javascript, right?
We can choose a region, and then the second menu changes appropriately, allowing us to choose a country.

But after those choices what we have to do for the script
take us the some other page? Do you understand?

The script is nice, but how to make it really works?
After all, we chose the region and the country and that´s all.
Which the usefulness of this script if I cannot go the some
page after the choices that I did?

Thanks for helping me - and sorry for my bad english...

[PSLoh]

well...u can submit the country to another page using forms...or a button to run another javascript command...its ur choice...

[Dickson]

Please - can you explain how to do this?
As I said in my first message, I do not know much javascript...

Thanks.
