drop down menu

[Kajupa]

Can someone take a look at the following page:

http://www.crosswood.be/Rock Monsieur/

What can I do to make the links in the menu to open in the main-frame.
So for example 'Programma 2002-2003' has to open in the frame where you see
the flashmovie from Rock Monsieur.

Or does anyone else has a good alternative to write a dropdown menu in html?

Thanks a lot.

You must specify a target for the links. For example, <A
HREF="2002-2003.htm" target=main_frame>2002-2003</A> will force it to open
in a separate frame named 'main_frame'. For drop-down menus, this is quite
similar and it depends on your implementation.

By the way, your page killed my Konqueror. Perhaps you have some corrupt
code there. I can open it with Mozilla.

spaces and mixed case isn't a good idea. an even worse idea is using
frames which has been scientifically and independently proven on cute
furry little bunnies to cause their peepee and/or boobies to fall off.

don't be mean to cute furry little bunnies.

What menu?

I see a bunch of select elements on a black background. I also see a
toaster. I don't see any menu.

Wait, I'll shut down IE and start Mozilla.

rectangle. I don't see any menu.


Time to rethink your design...

I know this is not what you asked for and I also know that this was kinda
pointed out by brucie, but I just want to reiterate: DON'T USE SPACES IN
URLs!! Okay, there you go.

Why not? There are a bunch of reasons, but just trust me on this one. I
know, I know, it is *possible* to use spaces in a URL, but it is also
possible for me to stick a lightbulb up my ass[1]. But you don't see me
doing that, do you?

[1] is "Ass" a bad word? I have been arguing with my wife over this one,
and I say it is not.

No, it's a four legged creature.

Arse, on the other hand, is a bad word

Hmm but if you have an arse on your 'other hand'... mutant freak!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm sure there would be some animal welfare organizations that would
discourage you doing so.

But you don't see me doing that, do you?

no but i'd like to. i can pay!

Err, if it's only lightbulb in dark room and you're gonna use it, we bloody
well do not see you do anything, hopefully

I had a feeling that people would react to the bulb-up-ass comment.

[Kajupa]

Lot's of reactions, but only few of them are useful.

What kind of newsgroup is this?
A group to make fun of someone or a group that really tries to help someone
who's trying to figure something out?

I'm trying to design a website ... sorry for all of you out there if it's
not responding to all of your great expectations. It's not my intention to
shock the world with it ... it only has to be useful for the way I mean to
use it and for the people I expect to visit it.

So I'm asking it again ... can someone tell me how I can open the links in
my menu in the frame below.

Hope I get more sincere reactions this time instead of all that crap.

Thanks again.

This kind of thing can happen at the weekend.

Your design has various problems, the use of frames and Javascript-driven
navigation being the main ones. I really think you should reconsider this
whole approach. However, in answer to your question...

===
<select name="menu"
onChange="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedInd
ex].value;" value="GO">
<option value="">Programma 2004-2005</option>
===

The value of this option is "". What do you expect will happen when you
change the location of your content frame to this value?

Also, your HTML is invalid. To see why, visit
<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.crosswood.be/Rock%20
Monsieur%2Fmenu.htm>

If you don't *understand* why your markup is invalid, then ask here. If you
don't understand why your markup doesn't *work*, it would help if you could
first make sure that it is valid.

I hope this helps.

Phil

All your menus drop from the upper frame into the main frame, and I guess,
this is what you need and your top frame is not wide enough to accept the
drop down.

You cannot make a decent menu with just classic HTML. Try DHTML which is a
combination of HTML, JavaScript, and HTML DOM.

However this has two problems:
1. DHTML is rendered differently in IE and NC. At least it was the case
couple of years ago when I practiced it. Doing something for HC was such a
pain, so I decided to sacrifice the NC lovers (they accounted about 15% of
my site visitors) and drop the NC version of the script
2. It is very complicated to make a DHTML menu to drop down from one frame
into another.
There was a very good resource something like DHTML Laboratory (try
http://www.webreference.com/)
This type of menus became very common now - just surf the Web, save it onto
disk and parse to see how it works

Oh yes I can. And what is "classic" HTML? As opposed to [some other sort of]
HTML?

Try DHTML which is a
combination of HTML, JavaScript, and HTML DOM.

DHTML is simply a word made up by microsoft. It means nothing.

Trying to make a menu with javascript that does not fall back gracefully in
the absense of javascript (and most of them do not) is the same as turning
your server of for six weeks out of the year.

However this has two problems:
1. DHTML is rendered differently in IE and NC.

and what about the other couple of hundred browsers out there.

2. It is very complicated to make a DHTML menu to drop down from one frame
into another.

That was not the op's question. The question was how to make the target of
the link render in the other frame.

Can't it be both?
