CSS/Javascript help needed.

**thesawmillguy** · 01-07-2003, 03:26 AM

Hi all

,
I have been working on my new site and have come to a point where I need to move to the next step (i.e. HTML to CSS and Javascript).

I need some detailed info on CSS and Javascript coding. (i.e. tutaorials, how-to's, etc.).......I feel like an idiot cuase I cannot seem to figure this out

Any assistance would be grately appreciated. The page that I am trying to put together utilized a series of drop down menus to move through a series of pages. (i hope that makes sense)....

Hi Toby,

I'm not too clear on what you mean by "a series of drop-down menus". If you would offer some clarification, I'd be glad to help in any way possible.

I highly recommend the JavaScript tutorial at www.webmonkey.com. In my opinion, that tutorial is the best JavaScript reference on the net, period. However, if online learning doesn't work, you can always buy a reference guide offline. They're very helpful, if you have the persistence to learn.

Finally, CSS is not really a language that you need to learn. Like HTML, all you will need to do is memorize a few things, and you're well on your way. There are tons of great resources on CSS on the web. Just run a search on Google, and that should turn up plenty of results.

OK you will have to pardon the rough layout of this page, but it has the series of drop down menus (sp?). What I am trying to do is to be able to access subpages via the dropdown menus (sp?). (i.e. make a selection from the drop down menu to view a product page)

The test page:
http://randbcomputers.0catch.com/Compaq/indextest.html

as you will see the drop down menus dont lead anywhere. I need to figure out how to make this set of drop down menus active so that when a selection is made you can actually go somewhere... Does this make any sense?

thanks for the help
Toby

Hi,
I take a little bit of your source to test out a free script.

If you want, you can try it out first by copy-past it into Notepad, make two separate files (htm) like (Presario5BW1.htm and Presario5BW2) save all the three files in the same folder : it's working well.

See the difference between "self" or "blank" and I think it's good to foresee a script on your link pages like this : go.back(-1). Than, your visitor goes 1 return back.

Maybe this will help you.
greetings
mleen

For css stuff you can stop by http://www.w3schools.com
It might not have everything but it can give you the basics.
