| Hello Everyone....
I created a drop down list with predefined values...
I'm trying to push the button to load the value of one of the selected
entries in the choice list...
But I don't know how to pull the fieldvalue using frontpage...
Can someone please help?
<form method="POST">
<p><font size="1"><font face="Times New Roman"><select size="1"
name="checkinglist" style="font-size: 8pt" class="navchoicelist">
<option value="page1.gif">Page 1</option>
<option value="page2.gif">Page 2</option>
<option value="page3.gif">Page 3</option>
<option value="page4.gif">Page 4</option>
</select> </font><input type="button" value=" "
name="GetChecking" style="font-size: 8pt" class="navButton"></font></p>
</form>
I can do this in lotusscript all day long.. but in a straight web page.. I
just don't know...
Any help would be appreciated...
Thx.
Brett

| Your script looks fine. Shouldn't page1.gif be page1.htm?

| Kathleen,
Thanks for your response....I figured also it would work, but it doesn't.
Let me explain the setup...
I scan every document of importance as a gif file.
I then use a 'home only' web site (not viewable anywhere but home) to store
information etc,,, as a scanned gif image.. reciepts..etc....for future
reference.
For the last 8 years.. I've just been using links..and the gif file would
open in the "main" frame
and it worked fine. This type setup and storage is allowable by the IRS.
But now I'm trying to streamline it a bit. and wish to use a text choice
list and load the desired gif
I wish to show in a frame... (just like my example...)
I'm a lotus guy and I could do this with lotusscript easily on a domino
server, but the IRS rules say it must
be universally read so I'm trying to stay as straight as I can to HTML,
(with a little script and css here and there)
any help would be appreciated.
thx,
Brett

| Brett:
I copied your code, and with the gifs in the same folder as the page with
the dropdown menu, it works:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select id="Choice" style="color: #0000FF" size="1" name="mySelect">
<option value="">Select one</option>
<option value="awstats.gif">Page 1</option>
<option value="canceled.gif">Page 2</option>
</select>
<input type="button" value="Go"
onclick="window.open(Choice.options[Choice.selectedIndex].value)">
</form >
</body>
</html>
