Here's what I would like to do:

1) Start with the script located at

2) Change it from a rotation script to an input-based script >>> the dynamic part should change depending on a visitor's selection in a <SELECT> box.

3) Have the script call up external .html files as opposed to including all of the dynamic pages' HTML code in the script itself.

Is this possible ?? Can someone help me out with this ??

It's close but not there.
The point is for the *HTML content* to the right of the first <SELECT> dropdown change with the choices, not just for a new <SELECT> element to appear.

Can you do that ??

This one doesn't fit in either.

I DON'T need two <SELECT> boxes, just one.
When a visitor chooses something in that single <SELECT> box, the *HTML content* (e.g. text, images, etc.) to the right of that <SELECT> box should change.

Well with what i've sent i'm sure you can put something together.

No, you don't understand. Both of the scripts you posted are essentially the same and don't fit what I'm trying to do.

That should do what you want. It'll only work in IE and N6 though...

WOW !

That's great.

How can I move the &quot;You have selected: option #&quot; text strings into outside files (e.g. each dynamic piece of HTML would be called up from an external HTML file) ??

In addition, I bet this script could somehow be made to work with IE, NS4, and NS6 (see -- it can be done through a combination of <div>, <layer>, and <ilayer> tags).

Do you think that's feasible ??

I'm not sure about moving the dynamic HTML to an external file... I've never done that before.

Right now I'm working on getting it to work in Netscape 4, but I'm not really sure where to start. It'll probably have to be done with layers somehow, but since I haven't worked with Netscape 4 layers before it'll probably take a while.
Anyone know how to do this?

Actually, you could include that dynamic content in an external js file.
Just call the file in the heading (<script src=&quot;xxx.js&quot;></script>)
And then put the variables and their values in that external file.

Make sense?
