Hello, all, been looking at your script and i like it, just wanted to know if there was an easier solution than a recordset to make a jump to drop down box for page numbers, as the list can get quite long sometimes, hence altering page widths and heights. (i.e I dont know how to load the menu contents dynamically)
Any Iota of a clue would be most appreciated.

Hello Mr Man
If I understand you right you want a drop-down box to change pages. To do this you have to change the gbook.php (version 1.34) file.
The following changes must be made:
Find line 627
And change it to:
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function jumpBox(list) {
location.href = list.options[list.selectedIndex].value
}
-->
</script>
</head>
Find the following code (around line 127) to change the numbers at the top of the page
Code: Select all
echo '<p>Displaying page '.$page.' of '.$pages.'. Pages: ';
for ($i=1; $i<=$pages; $i++) {
if($i == $page) {echo "<b>$i</b>\n";}
else {echo '<a href="gbook.php?page='.$i.'">'.$i.'</a> ';}
}
}
echo '</p>
and change it to this:
Code: Select all
echo '<p>Displaying page '.$page.' of '.$pages.'. <form>Choose page: <select>';
for ($i=1; $i<=$pages; $i++) {
if($i == $page) {echo "<option selected>$i\n";}
else {echo '<option value="gbook.php?page='.$i.'">'.$i;}
}
}
echo '</select><input type="button" value="Go" onClick="jumpBox(this.form.elements[0])"></form></p>
Find the following code (around line 147) to change the numbers at the bottom of the page
Code: Select all
echo '<p>Pages: ';
for ($i=1; $i<=$pages; $i++) {
if($i == $page) {echo "<b>$i</b>\n";}
else {echo '<a href="gbook.php?page='.$i.'">'.$i.'</a> ';}
}
}
and change it to this:
Code: Select all
echo '<form>Choose page: <select>';
for ($i=1; $i<=$pages; $i++) {
if($i == $page) {echo "<option selected>$i\n";}
else {echo '<option value="gbook.php?page='.$i.'">'.$i;}
}
}
echo '</select><input type="button" value="Go" onClick="jumpBox(this.form.elements[0])"></form></p>';

A small improvement on my previous posted script to change the page immediately after selecting the page without having to push a go button.
Change the code (around line 127) to change the numbers at the top of the page to this instead of the previous suggested code:
Code: Select all
echo '<p>Displaying page '.$page.' of '.$pages.'. <form>Choose page: <select onChange="jumpBox(this.form.elements[0])">';
for ($i=1; $i<=$pages; $i++) {
if($i == $page) {echo "<option selected>$i\n";}
else {echo '<option value="gbook.php?page='.$i.'">'.$i;}
}
}
echo '</select></form></p>
Change the code (around line 147) to change the numbers at the bottom of the page to this instead of the previous suggested code:
Code: Select all
echo '<form>Choose page: <select onChange="jumpBox(this.form.elements[0])">';
for ($i=1; $i<=$pages; $i++) {
if($i == $page) {echo "<option selected>$i\n";}
else {echo '<option value="gbook.php?page='.$i.'">'.$i;}
}
}
echo '</select></form></p>';
