CSS Help & Formbuilder advice required.

Post by buntrosgali »

Ok guys i need help with 2 things.

One i want to make a pulldown bar of linke similar to this pulldown on this hockey website

http://rangers.nhl.com/

im talking about the very top of the page the "nhl network" section. You click the drop down and it shows teams names when you click any it directs you to their site.

Id like to do this on my site, ive tried formbuilder for this and got a pulldown fine but cant find how to link the names with the websites, is pulldown the right option for this?

any advice?


and secondly i see on many sites content areas with 3-4-5 differnt tabs which open new content withint the same page and within the same content area. there is an example on the cms front page here

http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/


on the right hand side you see FEATURES MODULES DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

And if you hover over each word the content in that div area changes, how do you do this?

cheers

I think you need Global Content Block

Change yourdomain to some thing else.

Code: Select all

<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yourdomain.lt/admin/themes/default/includes/standard.js"></__script>
<div style="border: 1px solid red; width: 100px; height: 20px;" onclick='togglecollapse("test_test")'>Press me</div>
	<div id="test_test" style="display: block;">
		<a href="http://www.anaheimducks.com" style="border: 1px solid rgb(51, 51, 51); display: block;">Anaheim Ducks</a>
		<a href="http://www.calgaryflames.com" style="border: 1px solid rgb(51, 51, 51); display: block;">Calgary Flames</a>
	</div>

I think you want to do one of two things, but I'm unclear which it is. Do you want to have an html form select list that loads a page depending upon the selection? If so, there are lots of available javascript snippets that will do this.

Code: Select all

   1. <__html>
   2. <head>
   3. <title>Untitled</title>
   4. <__script__ type="text/javascript">
   5. <!--
   6. function nav(f){
   7.   var theUrl = f.jump.options[f.jump.selectedIndex].value ;
   8.   if (theUrl != ""){
   9.       location.href = theUrl ;
  10.   }
  11. }
  12. //-->
  13. </__script>
  14. </head>
  15. </__body>
  16. <form action="no_value">
  17. <select name="jump" onchange="nav(this.form)">
  18. <option value="">----- Select A Page -----</option>
  19. <option value="index.html">Home</option>
  20. <option value="page2.html">Page 2</option>
  21. <option value="page3.html">Page 3</option>
  22. </select>
  23. </form>
  24. <__body>
  25. </__html>
You could probably AJAX this up as well for better effects.

The other way I imagine is with a css dropdown, much like a standard navigation bar with dropdown options. For this, you could take a look at the dropdown functionality that ships with a couple of themes in cmsms.

Copy paste to your local_test_file.html or write initial style value  'display: none;' instead of 'display: block;'




test.html



Press me

If you want to use menu, you can find useful info at "Extensions » Modules » MenuManager" (parameters 'start_element', 'number_of_levels'). You could start with creating parent page "hokey teams"  with option 'Show in Menu:' off. Then create its "children" as external links.
