Drop-down Document Viewer (internal document)

[Godchaser88]

1) Script Title: Drop-down Document Viewer

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...opdownview.htm

3) Describe problem:

This script looks like it will work well on my site, but instead of the selections pointing to outside, external websites, will it allow me to open up html content instead of a url? Like a form? Maybe this isn't the right script for that, but I like the concept. If you know of how to make this work with the script, or a better way to accomplish my goal, I would appreciate your input.

Thanks.

You might find this example useful:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function()
{
var opt=document.getElementById('myselect'), // id of your combo-box (drop-down list)
df=document.forms;
reset();
	opt.onchange=function()
		{
		switch(this.value)
			{
			case this.value:
				reset();
				df[this.value].style.display='';
			break;
			}
		}
}
function reset()
{
var df=document.forms;
for(var i=0;i<df.length;i++){df[i].style.display='none';}
}
</script>
