Topic awaiting preservation: Show 'city drop box' if country = Spain

How can I make a drop down box shows when in another drop down box is selected 'spain' without opening or sending to another page?

Well, in any case you should use an event handler like onchange to check whether the item 'Spain' has been selected, and if it turns out to be 'Spain', you could do several things. You could dynamically add a select box through createNode() and add it to your document, or you could switch the visibility of the second select box. I guess that depends on what you regard to as better coding.

Ah the double drop down menu. I always go here for my DDDM needs:

put it in a div set to display:none

put an onChange event in your select menu to run a function

have a function that does this

if(document.form.select.options[document.form.select.selectedIndex].value=="spain"){
div.style.display='inline';
}else{
div.style.display='none';
}

Cool links Emps!! but for this simple form, I'm using the fizgig method.

But I have a proble: DIV is not defined.
Even when I change the name!
see form

I change the index from Spain to Alemania (ñ problems that I'll solve later)

Modify your function to look like this:

function comunidades()
{
    if (document.globe.pais.options[document.globe.pais.selectedIndex].value=="Alemania")
    {
        document.getElementById('comunidades').style.display='inline';
    }
    else
    {
        document.getElementById('comunidades').style.display='none';
    }
}

yeah, replace DIV with the name of the div, like you replaced form and select with those names

comunidades.style.display='inline';


i've had trouble with getElementByID working in some browsers
