I have a site which collects keywords and site URL's which are attached to them. The core database for tyhis is MySQL and the front end is provided by Dreamweaver MX via ODBC connection.
I have created a page which offers a search capability and does this on the keywords. The available keywords are supplied via a drop-down list and returns the records to the same page for review. The drop-down is activated (once the selection has been made) by a "Submit" button.
I now want to remove the "Submit" button and have the selection of the word from the list activate the search. It has been suggested that a Jump Menu would be best for this.
Only problem is that when I choose an item in my menu it tries to take me to a document which does not exist. It is supposed to return me to the same page (as the jump menu) where the results will be displayed. This has been set correctly in the form item and the SQL/dreamweaver tests return the expected data.
What appears to be happening is that the jump menu is returning the unique ID of the record and trying to use that as the page name (I can see this in the address bar of IE6).
Does anyone have any experience with dynamic Jump Menu's which may lend itself to sorting this out?
Thanks
