The use of »username:password@example.com is deprecated. I'm pretty sure IE doesn't support it, so I'm guessing you're using Firefox or Chrome? Any user can see the passwords in your code too. Why bother with authentication at all?

IE doesn't support it, however, I'm willing to accept the fact that I will need to use other browsers. I don't use IE as my primary browser and didn't even notice this issue until I was doing some testing. As far as viewing the passwords in the code, this isn't a concern as it is a general username/password and is only used because the application requires it and there is no way around it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29693562 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 03:53:17 EDT Re: Pull Down Menu Assistance... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29693230 The use of »username:password@example.com is deprecated.

If you want to target the "main" frame of your page just change the parameters of the onclick event for the Go button, like this:
<input type="button" value="Go" onclick="GoButton('serverMenu','parent.frames[\'main\']',0)" />
Notice how the "parent" parameter has been changed to "parent.frames[\'main\']".

Quick Question... How can I target this to open in a frame called "main"? As of now, it loses the frames when I hit go. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29648109 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 14:55:07 EDT Re: Pull Down Menu Assistance... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29648104
All you have to do is paste your code between these:
[code="html"]

Insert code here

Now I have to ask you about passing authentication credentials in clear text?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29647510 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 10:37:58 EDT Re: Pull Down Menu Assistance... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29646733 said by cdru:

I'd just put a list of servers as your first drop down (not the full URL). The second drop down would be which particular log you want. Then add a 3rd form element, a button. On the button click event, call a function that builds the url string and sets the frame's href.

Right, but I don't know how to write the coding for that. I haven't written any code since the late 90's. I don't know how to write any of that. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29646733 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 20:56:07 EDT Re: Pull Down Menu Assistance... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29646695 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29646695 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 20:35:30 EDT Re: Pull Down Menu Assistance... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29646587 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29646587 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 19:28:47 EDT Re: Pull Down Menu Assistance... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29646276
Are you trying to load the user's selection in a specific frame?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29646276 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 16:54:02 EDT Pull Down Menu Assistance... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Pull-Down-Menu-Assistance-29644063
My web design skills are very rusty as I haven't designed a site since the late 90's and early 2000's. I am currently trying to build a very basic site and I seem to be stuck on the pull down menu. I am building a site that uses frames (not iframe) and in one of the frames, I have a navigation menu which is a pull down, but I need to create a two part pull down with a "Go" button.

This is what I'm trying to do:

Servers:

[url]http://username:password@server1.site.com[/url]
[url]http://username:password@server2.site.com[/url]
[url]http://username:password@server3.site.com[/url]
[url]http://username:password@server4.site.com[/url]

Pages:
/monitors
/networks
/blacklists
/ips

So, the first menu will specify which server, and the 2nd menu will specify which page on that server and the Go button will load the correct page. I'm sure this can't be that difficult to do, however, the menu I have now only loads the direct page. An example of my code is below:

I can't seem to post the code here, but I have attached a screenshot.
