soleimanian 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2005 Hey...I posted this same thing in another forum. I was wondering if anyone here knows how to make a dropdown box refresh the page after having a value change. In other words:I have a site, and I want to make it so that the main page displays news. I will have the news in a mySQL database, and I want it so that the main page contains a dropdown box with every possible date from the site's creation to the current date. When you change the value, the page refreshes and displays that day's news on the main page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
