Dropdown question. 911.

Hello.

I’m dealing with simple dashboard. I know not much on the code, but I’m learning. I have already made all the bottons, embedded the code in it so that thay are interactive and shown up on click. However now, I need to figure how to do one additional simple thing with the Drop Down: e.g. We have 4 options (4 values) and if I choose one, for example 1, then I need to go to another page. But I reeally don’t know how to manage that. I saw one guy was making something like that, but I presume he made a dynamic page and somehow connected to it. I want to get to the simple new or existing page. That simple.
If you ask me how I see it, then I see it as follows:
if ($w(‘#dropdown1’).value === 1)
{ LOCATION;}
But the questions are:

  1. How to link to that 1 selection any action
  2. Where to locate - how to write the script for the new or existing page since there are no IDs on the pages
  3. Is there any examples of managing this sort of Drop Down questionary…

Thank you in advance.

Hello Serdar!

I will answer your questions, fell free to clarify things if smth is not clear enough

  1. You should bind this code to onChange event. I mean create dropdown, select it, add onChange handler:
    2018-01-15_1703
    Then add code to created function

  2. You should use this function to navigate - https://www.wix.com/code/reference/wix-location.html#to
    you can refer to pages by their names, it’s described in that module examples
    This is an example: https://www.screencast.com/t/MdYL0dczjuc

  3. You can search this forum)) There is a search field in uper top corner
    At least i remember this topic regarding your question

Whoa, thank you Mike.
I saw that 3rd pattern. I was trying to implement it (echoes in my simple coding above), but all was unfortunate. I dont know what is going on today with WIX (cant reach the Save and Preview buttons…), Ill try tomorrow to implement all the coding you provided to me, step-by-step.
And again, thank you very much indeed. By the way, am I correct that the same steps I can also make when Im doing the Input boxes? I mean User imputs on menu? This is also way to go…
