drop down menu for gallery jumps??

Nir

Anyone been able to implement a drop down menu on their site for jumping between galleries without 'back browsing' to parent directory?

Tried searching this forum without results.

Thanks!

Nir,

Unfortunately, there isn't any easy way, you will have to hard code the listbox. Below is some sample code, which needs to be added to the Header HTML section...

<select>
<option>Select a gallery...</option>
<option onclick="javascript:window.location.href='[insert gallery URL]'">Gallery 1</option>
<option onclick="javascript:window.location.href='[insert gallery URL]'">Gallery 2</option>
</select>

Cheers,

David

David,
First of all - thanks!!
2nd - I'm going to PM you to get your attention but leave correspondence here so others can see too.

Copied your html into the HEADER (obviously inserted MY links) - it creates the pull down menu but doesn't execute a jump to the gallery chosen.
Any ideas?

<SELECT style="VISIBILITY: visible"> <OPTION selected>Select a gallery...</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/253809'">Photos that have earned recognition</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/92749'">Night Photography</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/92800'">Ireland Photography Expedition</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/169240'">Shoshana was a Jewish-Polish Grandmother</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/98050'">The Many Faces of Jerusalem</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/261241'">Ein-Kerrem</OPTION&gt; <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/186083'">Crete - August 2004</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/92775'">People - My Favorite Subject</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/247880'">Mishkanot Shaananim</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/92827'">Special Moments</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/117651'">The Villiage of Abu-Gosh</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/92782'">Nature and Landscapes</OPTION> <OPTION onclick="javascript:window.location.href='http://niralon.smugmug.com/gallery/93527'">Curves and Shades</OPTION></SELECT>

Hi Nir,

It looks like it's a browser compatibility issue, it works fine with Firefox but not IE. When I have a chance I will post something that works with both.

Cheers,

Try This
[PHP]
<script type="text/javascript">
function sm_jump(objSelect){
if (objSelect.selectedIndex<=0) return false;
var objOpt = objSelect.options[objSelect.selectedIndex];
window.location.href=objOpt.value;
}
</script>
<select onChange="sm_jump(this);">
<option>Select a gallery...</option>
<option value="http://www.google.com/">Gallery 1</option>
<option value="http://www.yahoo.com/">Gallery 2</option>
</select>
[/PHP]


Just change the option values (i.e. "google/yahoo" in the example above) with your full gallery URL (including "http://")

This will work in any browser supporting javascript.

Nir

Aaron thanks! Works great!
