States List? - 4/16/2001 20:49:00
I'm not sure even how to ask this one. You see sites where there is a drop down list of states to choose from, then when you click on a state, you get information from that state. such as when you are looking for automobiles. You would select Michigan, then all the autos from Michigan come up for view. How do they do that? What is it called? How can I do that? Any answers would be very appreciated. Thank you

What you are describing sounds like the 'results' are coming from a database, using the dropdown list to search the database. A simpler version of the above would be to use the dropdown list to 'jump' to another page you have built which contains all the information. The first method is a higher learning curve, but generates pages dynamically from a database. The second method is simpler in how it works, but require more actually work on your part to create all those pages the dropdown jumps to. If you will provide a little more information of what you want to accomplish, we can possibly head you in the right direction. Nancy ------------------

I am still not sure how to use it, but the list is great and I want to thank ALL of you for such a fantastic response. You people are super at trying to help others. I have needed to use this site twice and both times I have been overwhelmed by the response. Again, thank you all and thank you to the site creators.
