Action button and dropdown list

Wednesday 06 April 2005 3:26:17 am

I want to let users to select an article in a folder from a dropdown list and then click an action button to go to the selected article. I have tried in many ways, but the action button dosn't work: I find myself always in the folder node. This is my (last) code:

<form method="post" action={$node.url_alias|ezurl}>
            <div class="content-view-children">
		<select name="ChildrenList[{$node.node_id}]">
                {section var=child loop=$list_items sequence=array}
                    <option value="{$node.node_id}">{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$child}</option>
                {/section}
		</select>
<input class="button" type="submit" name="ChildSelect" value="Go" />
            </div>
</form>

Which is the right "action" code?

the "action" code tells the browser where to send the form values. So unless there is something at the adress you specify that handles your form, it won't do anything.

you could try this:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
  eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
  if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}
//-->
</script>



<form name="form1" width=30>

<select name="menu2" size="20" style="font-size:9px" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

                {section var=child loop=$list_items sequence=array}
                    <option value="{$node.node_id}">{$node.name}</option>
                {/section}

</select>
</form>

Any advice from eZ staff? Perhaps there is no solution?
