WHY Cant I find these????

[Village Idiot]

THanks Bro., Key and Mack, for the input...

HOWEVER it still does not slove my problem..

Thanks Key, for the source Code HOWEVER I need this drop down menu to be a "SCROLLING"
drop down menu...... The reason being is that there are going to be approx. 450 - 500 drop down options that needs to be on the "SCROLLABLE" Drop down list......!!!

If you happen to have some CODE for that I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT..!!!!!!
--------------------

Isnt there anything "ANYWHERE" else that I can turn too...????? I MEAN, FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD EVERYBODY....

WHAT GIVES, WHAT AM I MISSING...... WHERE CAN THEY BE FOUND??????
IM ABOUT TO PUT MY FIST THRU MY MONITOR, IM ABOUT REALLY TO LOOSE IT, Im so frustrated :o...... WHY is such a big mystery, for something so seemingly basic and common...:o ?????? Come on Everybody, Everybody whos here are supposed to be WEBMASTERS....... So WHERE are all the WEBMASTERS getting #1. A "Simple and Basic" Search box for a site??? And #2. The Same "Basic Drop Down "SCROLLABLE" menu that just about everysite that I ever go to with "salt" has..... "PLEASE"!!!! .... WHERE, WHO, WHAT...:o ?????

In regards to the address example, add it as your home page in your profile.

Also, stand up, take a few deep breaths, and sit back down again....you'll have the answer soon enough.

The example code I gave you was for a scrolling pull down menu. You could put a thousand drop down options in it if you wanted to. What exactly are you looking for?

[mack]

The code that was given for the drop down menu was pretty good... all you need to do is configure it to your requirements... for example where it says "option 1" (or something similar) simply replace that with the text for your link. Then configure your hyperlinks to your desired url's.

You also spoke about the adverts on (fdse) these are only there when usin the standard search templates. Take a look here for what you can do with fdse [click4choice.com...]
Sorry for the url post but I just wanted to show the features of how you can edit the templates.

One more thing... you said you are seeing the drop down menu every where you go...why not view the source code and see how that are doing it. I am not saying use other peoples code..just learn from what they do. :)

THanks Justa and Key_Masta...

Ok here is EXACTLEY what I am talking about and is EXACTLEY the Style / Look and feel, for what I am in seach of... If you would be so kind, please go to my user profile (as justa had prescribed) and look at my home page addy. "THATS" the Site I am wanting you to see as an example.....! Ok you will see the first 2 form box's in the menu, the fisrt one of course being the "Search box" with the simple little go button to its right.... Thats the first one I am wanting..!
Then the other Form Just to the right of that, The "Srcollable" Drop Down Menu, (see how when you click onto it you have a "Scrollable" list??? THIS is the type of Drop Down Menu I have been attempting to describe....!!!

Basically it is these 2 Types of Forms that I am seeing Everywhere but I cannot find...!!!

Ok Justa, I have stuck my head in a brown paper bag now and have taken quite afew deep breaths, and I must admit, I do feel a little bit better... well that, and a little light headed as well...!

Hope this example helps, hope someone can shed some light...!!!! Better yet, does anybody have some CODE that they can turn me on to???

Ok KEY, Can you see the differance now between the Code you sent me las night and how the box in my example has an auto "Scroll" Down Feature???
------------------------
The Other "Third" one has nothing to do with what I want!!! So disregard that one....

[buckworks]

Try this:

[bruce-hamilton.com...]

[Key_Master]

Sorry, they're both basically the same type of drop down menu. You've got me confused.

[mack]

The code example that you where given was a scrolling menu???

<p align="center"><form name="jump" onmouseover="self.status='My Pulldown Menu';return true">
<select name="menu" onchange="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO">
<option value="http://www.clickforchoice.co.uk">Home</option>
<option value="javascript:history.go(-1);">Back one page</option>
<option value="http://www.clickforchoice.co.uk/docs/help">Help</option>
</select>
</form>

As you can see i use a similar code with my site... you can copy and paste this into your HTML (do not simply paste it into the editor you need to use insert or insert it into the raw code) also be sure to alter the links or you will be sending me traffic. :)

Also see my post above about fdse and what you can do to get rid of their adverts. :)

Yhea I know Mack the Code given to me by KEY was great, I have no Prob. configuring it to what I need, BUT I need it to be an "Auto Scrollable Drop menu" you know when you activate the box down drops the list maybe 2-3 inches is all, and then you can Srcoll up and down from their from the list, click onto an option and it auto matically takes you to that link...!

AND bout the URL you sent me.. just now, it that one a free- bee too...?

Village Idiot

[mack]

dont tell anyone but the url i sent you was to one of my pages :)

It is using the fdse search engine with my own custom templates.

as for the box...if you add more options it will scroll down with a scroll bar apearing when there are enough options to require one... try it with more options it should work..shouldent it???

[Key_Master]

Village_Idiot,

You have to add more menu options to force it to have a scroll bar.
