How to create a dropdown user control?

How do I create a website that uses dropdown menus to display information?

  • I want to create a website. On a left hand pane, I want users to select certain values from the following dropdowns: Country, City, Hotel, Beds, Activities. I want holidaymakers' reviews that match to be displayed on a right hand pane. Example 1 1. A user selects Spain, Madrid, Hotel ABC, 2 Beds, Skiing > GO 2. Three reviews are displayed by different people (all of whom have been to Spain, stayed in Hotel ABC in Madrid with 2 beds, and went skiing). Example 2 1. A user selects France, Any City, Any Hotel, Any Beds, Wine Tasting 2. Reviews from are displayed from all those who have been wine tasting in France. NOTE: I don't actually want to create a holiday review website, that's just a convenient analogy to help me think for the time being! I'll change the names of the fields later. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    I prefer Flash and Flash ActionScript 3.0 to create dynamic information like that. With flash, you can also tween properties and objects, i.e., you can make the drop-down effect much more aesthetically pleasing. Did you want to create this yourself? If yes, what software do you have / or were looking to use? There's a lot of different options. Like I said, I prefer Flash. However, that is a bit bias because I am interactive Flash developer, and I am also on Adobe's Flash Professional CS5 Pre-Release Team :P haha

The easiest way (but not the best way) is ti use javascript drop-down menus. You can view examples and copy the already-created code from the website javascript.internet.com. The problem i that some people might disable javascript on their web browser, although this is rare.
