MuNu Pull Down Menu

Now updated for automatic updates.

Copy this into the Between <head> and </head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function which(form)

var order=form.jump.selectedIndex
if (form.jump.options[order].value != 0)
{
location=form.jump.options[order].value;

}
//-->
</SCRIPT>


Copy this after the <body> tag where you want the menu to appear

<form name=form1>
<select name=jump onchange=which(this.form)>
<option value=0 selected>THE LIST</option>

<?php include "http://blogroll.mu.nu/pulldownd.i"; ?>

</select>
</form>

NOTE: This will give you the list in the date added format. If you want the alphabetical list use pulldown.i

1 I should probably add this to the standard MuNu scripts...

2 thanks for sharing this bit with us Stepen i've been looking for ways to tidy up my side bar and your post came just in time.

3 Yes, with the continuing addition of new munivians, it is nice, but if you have to handcode the new arrivals, it would always be a work in process unless it could incorporate the existing code created list as well.

4 I don't know if it would with with the Ecosystem, either. Which would be a shame.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at April 12, 2004 07:34 AM

5 Mouse - I've always hand coded new arrivals (and all the links on my sidebar) so I didn't even look into that. I suppose it is probably possible.

6 Is this the same setup Jim used at Snooze Button Dreams?

IIRC, if the scripting is turned off then the 'broke' list is automatically extended, which is good.

And I think Jim confirmed that the links in the list count on the Ecosystem. Or did I remember that completely backwards?

7 Ted,

Don't know if it the same one Jim has. I Googled for a pull down menu script and picked what seemed to be the simplest one. As for the ecosystem, I have no idea if they work or not.

8 Nice script you found there Me Macklin! Thanks for sharinf it with us.

This is a different drop down list than Jim's. Jim's script will drop down a list that is "sticky" when you click the heading. It will stay "stuck" until you click on the heading again.

What is it with this script that makes the names in the drop down list display in all capitals? I didn't see anything in the script that would trigger that, or did you just code it in caps on your site?

9 Blech, hand-coding new arrivals. So many these days, how can you keep up?

Posted by: Jennifer @ at April 12, 2004 03:36 PM

10 Willie - Not sure about the caps. It doesn't show that way on mine. The Div on the sidebar is coded as caps in the CSS, but none of the css formating seems to appear on my browser.

Jennifer - I think its OCD. The obsession is that in my warped view, the links are just as much a part of the content as the posts.

11 I used to be like that about the patch of lawn that is my sidebar. Then I gave in and let the weeds grow. I trim it and maintain the landscaping about once a month.

Posted by: Jennifer @ at April 12, 2004 07:09 PM

12 Strange, I feel the same way about the patch of lawn that is in front of my house.

Posted by: Stephen Macklin @ at April 12, 2004 08:25 PM

13 Mr Macklin... I'm using Mozilla 1.6 and it's all caps and looks like some em spacing between the letters. I'll check in IE later to see if it's the same there.

Posted by: Madfish Willie @ at April 12, 2004 09:23 PM

14 Since I handcoded all mine previously, I don't think adding any new additions will be too terrible.
I took Stephen's basic MuNu list and tweaked it around for all my links, because I like it that way.
Thanks, Mr. M.

15 I think the Bear is parsing for anchors so this likely wouldn't work with the Ecosystem. :-(

On the other hand, it works phenominally for the category list at ZeroIntelligence.net. Thanks, Steven!

Posted by: Jim @ at April 16, 2004 02:01 AM

16 And the collapsable lists are confirmed working with the Ecosystem.

Posted by: Jim @ at April 16, 2004 02:02 AM

17 Another great method to create a complete list of all your favourites is with this great program :

http://www.lorriman.com/software/urlshortcutstoclipboard/urlshortcutstoclipboard.htm

Take a look. It's easy to understand. And even easier to use.

No, I don't get a commision. I just believe its the simplest way to hand-code your favourites together.

18 Is there a way to define the width of the scroll down menu...For those of us who have narrow sidebars?

Posted by: Lynn @ at August 14, 2004 02:07 AM

19 I asked the same question Lynn. Turns out that I had to massage the blog titles to get them to fit. Bleah.

Posted by: physics geek @ at August 16, 2004 08:24 PM

20 Hmmm...surely there's someone who has altered this solution to pull from the mu.js or nu.js items that keep the lists updated.

I also have questions about positioning and width. Any quick answers?

21 Bah! Someone please delete that! I thought it would paste with the formatting. :/ Sorry.

Posted by: MRN aka "The Husband" @ at December 08, 2004 11:59 PM

22 Actually, just posting a comment will rebuild it

Stephen, take a look at the "Pull-Down Thingy" template in the Blogroll blog. It should generate the list part of your pulldown thingy automatically. It can be included (for people using PHP) with <?php include "http://blogroll.mu.nu/pulldown.i"; ?>

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at December 09, 2004 01:17 AM

23 Well, I didn't actually test it...

I will test it now and find out.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at December 09, 2004 08:21 AM

24 I have tested it now and it works.

Don't know what happened when you tried it. Hmm, no confused smiley, darn it.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at December 12, 2004 03:02 AM

25 Ok, I got the pull down to work just fine in FireFox...but IE pukes it. Double checked the code everything seeems to be in order? Any ideas?

Posted by: Guy S @ at May 14, 2005 08:08 PM

26 just saw og's comment about removing the script from the except for the php code....works ok in Firefox and *spit*IE6*spit* now. hope that helps just to verify og's sucess.

Posted by: Guy S @ at May 15, 2005 05:06 AM

27 Well, I must be dense because I can't get the drop down to work in IE and I can't find the comments that say how to fix it in this post or any others. If anyone can help me with this I would be highly appreciative. Thanks
