Hi All! I’m building a website for lesson plans for teachers, and I was excited by the addition of the drop down selection tool. But I feel like I’m missing a step. I’ve created three drop downs - one for topic, one for provider, and one for grade level specific items. In each list I’ve defined my items. But I cannot for the life of me figure out the step I’m missing to make it go where I’m telling it to go. (i.e. they choose US History from the “choose by Topic” drop down)
What probably very obvious thing am I missing here?
@NotDaveJohnson, just checking to see that you have added the categories under your 3 dropdowns?
On the right hand panel (when you click on the dropdown) you’ll see a container named “Drop-down Selection”. There you add the categories that populates your dropdown.
Thanks all - so what I"m hearing is there’s no way to force a choice made there to take you somewhere else? That’s a bummer. I’d love to see that functionality added at some point.
Maybe a semantic issue, but the title doesn’t imply that all elements in there are for both navigation and forms, rather that there are elements related to navigation and forms (either/or).
Sorry no, the point is that the functionality exists, but in another form.
The specific element “drop down list” is for forms. It will never be changed to also support navigation, because that’s a syntax error, it’s like using the windshield wiper lever to control headlights.
You can add drop down functionality using the menu element or the popup element.
So not to open this thing a year later, but let me open this thing a year later :P.
What’s happening on this website with the same thing - I get that it’s a form which isn’t navigation per-se but isn’t there a way with drop down select to do something similar: https://c3teachers.org/inquiries/
