thanx for your help

What menu? I don't see a link to anything and you didn't post any code. I suppose I could search for it but as the producer of the question I think it behooves you to provide the necessary information.

FWIW, I'm certain that what you want it to do is quite possible.

And I assume you mean Javascript not Java.

[oh_no!!!!!!!]

yes, of course java script...

Change this:

function redirect2(z){
window.location=temp1[z].value
}

to:

function redirect2(z){
window.open(temp1[z].value, "_blank");
}

That will open the item in a new window always even after the new window is already opened.

If you only want one new window, change it to:

function redirect2(z){
var w = window.open(temp1[z].value, "mywin");
w.focus();
}

[oh_no!!!!!!!]

it really works fine.
would it be possible to set window parameters like *width, height, scrollbar...* in this content??

greets

[Willy Duitt]

Yes....

window.open(temp1[z].value, "_blank", "height=400,width=500, scrollbars=no");

Hi,

I'm trying to create this type triggering cascading menus in a student project using the ArcIMS map software. You can see what I've able to manage at http://mithra.uwaterloo.ca/website/s.../mapviewer.htm. Click on the "Search tool" and you'll see two drop down boxes. Below is the code autogenerated by the software. I commented out a change I made. Please notice that in line 48 there's a <form action="" name="theStoreQueryForm"...> which I think is the "FORM" (?). Also notice that the "select name=theStyle" creates the first drop down box. But the actual name is stored/defined in a separate .XLM file (map.axl).

I guess my question is how to modify this code in order to (1) the first box will allow you to select a map layer; (2) the second box will list the name of the query set up for that selected layer; (3) the third box will list the options/criteria set up for the chosen query. I'll appreciate your help.
