HELP: I need a script...

[siflaar]

Hello All,

I'm looking for a script that will do the following:

I have two combo boxes (in Frame Top)
1) In box 1 you select a letter from A to Z (index)
2) In box 2 you select the catagories belong to the selection from box 1 (so the options from box 2 should depent on the selection of box 1)

e.g. box 1 : M
box 2 should give me the options: Message, Mistic, Music, ...

When I make a selection from the second combo box. Then I press a button (picture) and it should do the following

Opening in Frame Bottom a document with a name from Box 1 and going to the bookmark on that document from Box 2

Box 1 = M
Box 2 = Music
Open in Bottom frame document M.html#Music

Maybe this is easy, maybe not but thanks in advance.

This has been requested before, but I can't seem to find the thread it was in. I believe that this is what you are looking for, or will at least put you 90% of the way there. http://javascriptkit.com/script/cut183.shtml

A change to the target of the frame that contains this double combo box will make the requested page apear below. Simply add your bookmarks to each group of links.

group[0][0]=new Option("Music","http://localhost.com/M.html#Music")

Hello ShriekForth,

Thanks. I looked at the script but can't see how it is loading the document in the bottom frame.
Any suggestions to change the script?

in the source of your top frame you need to add the following html, <base target="mainFrameName">. That will be an easy html fix, or you could reference the bottom frame in the go function.

function go(){
window.mainFrameName.location=temp.options[temp.selectedIndex].value
}

adding the window.Frame reference should also do it with the correct frame name in place.
