Improving my Select dropdown List

  • Hello,

    I have a select list of PDF files users can choose to download. Once a file is selected, the PDF simply opens up in a new window.

    site

    This works fine, but there are some issues. One being that when you select the ‘[Newsletter]’ text, the page refreshes (it shouldn’t do anything). Secondly, when you select a newsletter, then try to re-select – it does nothing.

    I would just like to improve the code and functionality overall. I thought there may be a nice plug-in, but it’s very difficult searching for ‘Select Dropdown List’ and finding what I am looking for. Thought I’d ask if anyone has any ideas for sample codes or plug-ins I can look at. I saw some nice Jquery codes, but I don’t know how to implement them into WordPress.

  • That’s because you have this line in there:

    <option value="#">[Open Door Newsletter]</option>

    You are making “Open Door Newsletter” an option, so when you select it, it tries to do what the form is set up to do.

    I am new to WordPress and was trying to create a drop-down list of PDF documents similar to what you have done with your site. Yours looks very nice and tidy, and functions exactly like we expect.

    Did you use a specific plug-in or functionality in WordPress? We were not able to produce your results in our environment.

    Any help would be wonderful!

    Hi jers83, hope you receive this message, I’m trying to do exactly the same thing- would appreciate if you could share how you achived the select drop down list of PDF’s
    thanks
    Rob
