Selectbox/dropdownbox

[maeg]

Hi

I'm wondering if it is possibel to create a selectbox in the content of a side. With the editor it seems not to be a option.

A selectbox like the one that is in use in ex.templateshift plugin.

I know the Way to kode it in a normal php or HTML page.

Have a Nice Day

Best regards

Hi Jens,

The following works fine with tinyMCE:

Code: Select all

<select><option value="1">one</option><option value="2">two</option></select>

What exactly do you want to insert?

Hi maeg,

now I understand. But linking with a selectbox doesn't work with plain (X)HTML, as the content of <option> is restricted to #PCDATA (so no <a> is allowed inside of <option>). To link with a selectbox one has to use Javascript:

Code: Select all

<div><select onchange="window.location.href=this.value">
<option value="#">Browse ...</option>
<option value="?News01">News01</option>
<option value="?News02">News02</option> 
</select></div> 

The obvious drawback: that doesn't work, if JS is enabled in the browser.

An alternative that doesn't require JS, but would rely on HTML/CSS only, would be some kind of dropdown-menu.
