[Support request] drop down list

[Jean]

Hi,
i want to create a simple dropdown list where you select a topic in the list and redirects to that url just as the good old days where you had.

<select id=”cars”>
<option value=”volvo”>Volvo</option>
<option value=”saab”>Saab</option>
<option value=”vw”>VW</option>
<option value=”audi” selected>Audi</option>
</select>

but i can’t find how you can make a clean looking dropdown list

Hi there,

That would require some custom coding or a plugin solution as there is nothing built-in.

Do you have an example to show?

I can try to determine if they are using a certain plugin or not.

Hi, please see images of the dropdown as well as the code on below links.

Hi there,

Select inputs are governed by the browser. To replace that style requires Javascript.
Heres an example of how to do that:

Unfortunately not.

[Jean]

and if you want to add a drop down list manually with html code can you drag and drop an element next to the text so you can place a dropdown list next to plain text?

Select car: [dropdown list]

Not sure if I fully understand.

Have you tried the solution David recommnended?

We can only help with GP-related issue in this forum unfortunately.
