Hi, Iam after a dynamic dependant dropdown menu that will pass a url string to a php search page. I haven't been able to find script that will allow me to pass the information from any stage of the menus as i want to be able to use it to search region county and beach. a user may just want a list of beaches in a specific county so they would select region from the first and county from the next and press go. I want it to therefore just pass 'county= selected' not 'region=selected&county=selected' as this would bring up records matching the region or the county and would confuse the user. also if it is possible it would be good if it could actually pass a specific name 'county=devon' as all the ones i have found pass numbers. hope this makes sense as i have virtually no experience with javascript.
sorry if this has been asked a thousand times before but i couldn't find it though searching the web. If anyone can point me in the right direction i would be very greatful.

DW has a "Jump Menu" which is basically a dropdown with JavaScript to submit when the user chooses an option. I'd suggest putting a "Go" or "Search" button next to it for usability. You can make it be dynamic too easily in DW.

Hope that helps.

hi, I currently use 3 of these jump menus for region, county and beach. only trouble is that users can choose one from each and they don't have to correspond to each other. eg region=scotland county=suffolk beach=newquay which would bring 3 records all totally different parts of the country. i would like the menus to refresh depending on the options selected if possible. Thanks for the reply.

Ah, so you are trying to do a dependant dropdown? Please confirm and I can point you to some knowledge on those. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Sorry its taken so long for the reply, as ive been away. Yes it is a dependant dropdown that i would like. Ive tried a few different ones from off the web but i haven't found one that i can use. I need one that the menu boxes can be named to correspond with my mysql fields and also only send one piece of info depending where the user wishes to stop. eg if he wants to search a county for beaches in a specific region he would select the region and then the county (linked to region) . The script i have found can send region=... &county=.... but i want it to send county=... or region= or beach= not all together as region= overides everything and returns results for everything in that region even if a county is selected. I hope iam making some kind of sence. your help is much appreciated.
