As you can see, I've been playing with drop down boxes...I'm starting up a freeweb and I was going to litter an entire page with them XD

Would any of you know how I can get a different result for each option?

Character Quote of the Week


Tidus
Yuna
Wakka
Lulu

Is this what you mean? I haven't used these for ages but I just changed the html around a bit. You had onChange on the Select (whole menu) so I guess it appeared when anything changed. I made an OPTION for each character, changed onChange to onClick and put on each one so it alerts when you click each one.

I dunno if I did it with exact proper code but it seems to work

<*FORM*>
<*SELECT name="quotemenu"*>
<*OPTION*>Character Quote of the Week<*BR*><*BR*>
<*OPTION onClick="alert('Yuna! This is our story! Now let\'s see this thing through together.')"*>Tidus
<*OPTION onClick="alert('I like Tidus')"*>Yuna<*/OPTION*>
<*OPTION onClick="alert('I like Blitzball')"*>Wakka
<*OPTION onClick="alert('I wear belts')"*>Lulu<*/OPTION*>
<*/SELECT*>
<*/FORM*>

Remove all the *s

*nods*, that is the correct javascript

I would recommend looking into Dynamic Drive as they have alot of neat scripts like that ^_^

I'm just curious, but obviously javascript and other things can be used for evil and probably will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. But buh? It's allowed?

I guess as long as it's not too annoying, but obviously somebody can put a sig that spams you (unintentionally or whatever) with 'PG is amzing!' messages.

No, mentioning you is a bannable offense now so swear filtered
