squad selector

**collinsca** · 27-03-2006

Hi All

You know these football (soccer) squad selectors you get on sites such as BBC... where you select which player you think should play in a certain position- using a drop down box.
Well this is something i would like to do for my own team!

Would this be possible/easy to fo? any suggestions?
I have a bit of HTML and Flash experience.

Thanks everyone

Something like this?

Code:

<form method="post" name="form2" target="_blank" id="form2">
  <p>
    <select name="menu1" size="1" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
      <option>players</option>
      <option>jim</option>
      <option>paul</option>
      <option>ufrank</option>
    </select>
</p>
  <p>
    <select name="select" size="1" multiple="multiple" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
      <option>centre forward</option>
      <option>goalie</option>
      <option>left wing</option>
      <option>captain</option>
    </select>
</p>
</form>

Thanks once again- I am now attempting to use this. Can i ask another question.
How once someone fills it in can i then get them to submit it and i receive an e-mail and be able to understand who they have placed in which "position"?

Kind regards

The following html example (I used it for a website I ran) will show you the submit command. You can integrate the code I gave before into your own table and use the submit command to send that information to your chosen email. This is handled by the ACTION..... cgiemail code

Code:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.happybeaver.co.uk/cgi-bin/cgiemail/cgi-bin/order.txt">
              <table width="64%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="#CCCCCC" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">

                  <td width="11%"><div align="center">Page No.</div></td>
                  <td width="7%"><div align="center">Qty</div></td>
                  <td width="33%"><div align="center">Product Name</div></td>

Now.. this is your code that I've added the cgi email script to:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.happybeaver.co.uk/cgi-bin/cgiemail/cgi-bin/order.txt">
<body><form method="post" name="form2" target="_blank" id="form2">
  <p>
	<select name="menu1" size="1" multiple="multiple"  onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
	  <option selected="selected">players</option>
	  <option>jim</option>
	  <option>paul</option>
	  <option>ufrank</option>
	</select>
</p>
  <p>
	<select name="select" size="1" multiple="multiple" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
	  <option>centre forward</option>
	  <option>goalie</option>
	  <option>left wing</option>
	  <option>captain</option>
	</select>
</p>
<div align="center"> 
				<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit Order">
				<input type="hidden" name="success" value="http://www.happybeaver.co.uk/html/thankyou.php">
			  </div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

You'll also need to add two text files to your CGI bin via ftp... they are in the following format... you'll have to work out the text you put in from the finished form you end up with:
