Designing Complex Combo Box's - HELP!!!

[RLH25]

Hi, I have been speaking to a guy from WebPlus X2 who recommended the help of alfred, mjh & mike for the following query however, if any one else can help I'd really appreciate it. I am designing a website for car remapping using Webplus X2 but I am in need of combo box's that talk to eachother and that deliver the required info into a table below. i.e. make - model - edition, so when i select e.g. audi in the make then in the model box only audi models will appear in the model and edition combo's. Then you would press a "go button" and the results would appear below. I am not very knowledgable with webdesign so i need someone to strip it down and speak very basic to me please (if you are happy to supply you email/telephone number Il call you to help me do this?)... if you could log onto a website call SuperTunining.co.uk/CarRemapping you will see what I am after. When I spoke to a guy from support for X2 they said its possible to do but complex so he's unsure but to ask you guys - so i am really crossing my fingers in the hope someone knows how and willing to help me through the last stages - if not i cant produce my website and il be most gutted. Thanks - await your post. regards, Robyn (female - web design illiterate).

Hey Robyn, this is doable, and shouldnt be too hard to do... Do you have any code as of yet? e.g. a page which you want this on? if you do could you post it(or give us a link to the site)...

I couldn't access supertuning.co.uk but i understand (generally) what you want.

Cheers,
Jamey

no script sorry - do you have en email address i could write to and i will send print screens as its easier to do than trying to explain in words... i don't know how to add html or script to webplus x2 - so need thorough help please, if you don't mind. i will be back online after pm - going to work now - await your response thanks - robyn

[jamiemac2005]

Hey again, could you upload the screenshots in this post? it makes life easier as everyone can see(in case someone else decides they can do a better job of it than i can).

As for webplus x2, i haven't come accross it so i can't give you instructions for adding code but do you know where the HTML files are saved? because if you do you can simply open it in a text editor(e.g. notepad) and add the code in the right place...

Cheers,
Jamey

if you save the print screen as a jpg you can attach them to a post or you can upload them to a image host site (e.g. photobucket) and insert a link like below and the image will appear in line with the post.

If you could have a look at the screen shots of what i would like to have on my web page and then if you could please help me acheive this. i am using webplus x2 and therefore using the elements of choice that are on the program and therefore not quite sure how to input html in to the program so if someone can help me step by step??? that would be grately appreciated - sorry to be a pain - await your response, thanks

[jamiemac2005]

Do you have an existing site?

[RLH25]

hi, no just creating it at the moment...

[RLH25]

have you tried the supertuning.co.uk website again... to see if you can view it

[RLH25]

this is the basis of my website so far... perhaps this will give you a better idea of what i need please

[jamiemac2005]

Hey, could you give us the code to that site(the one you've screenshotted in "preview of my sitewp.pdf")? what's its filetype?

The problem is if this isn't some form of HTML then it will be hard to do.

hi jamie - how do i obtain what you are after jamie - this is just a site i am working on so its not live - when i went on to the webserif forum the guys there told me i cant do this so i have rearranged me site - but if you know how to do this please let me know - thanks. when you ask whats its code and file type what do you mean - the program is webplus x2 - the code i dont know what you mean... explain then i can do... ta

[RLH25]

did you mean like - html? i think the webplus use html coding

[jamiemac2005]

the webserif forum? if you've posted somewhere else could you post a link(i've never used webplus x2 the people there may know more than me about the subject)... As for the code etc. you should have saved this as some form of file? find the file you saved it as and tell us the extension(.html/htm/whatever it is)...

Cheers,
Jamey

sitemap.xml - thats the file name...

[jamiemac2005]

.xml? hmm that is interesting, okay i PMed you back, do what i said(open it in notepad and paste the code here) and i'll see if it's do-able or not

[RLH25]

can you see the website im creating by accessing that code?

[RLH25]

explain sorry - this is an illeterate webdesigner here.... ha ha and female...

[jamiemac2005]

Basically if you post the code i can work out whether it's HTML or some form of HTML which makes Javascript un-useable, if it's the latter what you want done can't be done... If you post the code and it is do-able we can write code around the site to do what you want, but we need the code.

oh and i have 2 friends who are raking in money as webdesigners(both female) so the gender thing doesn't matter, anyone can learn to design decent sites =]

[RLH25]

how do i do this... basically webplus is a program that you buy from a shop - and its pretty basic but i want to add complex this to it - so really i am not typing any code in to ie html - it does it for me...
