Bah *hits head on table*

I swear I've taken stupid pills this morning.

*sees vb people coming with a cup to drug test me*

Yeeks.

Anyways today I decided to get rid of html in sigs since people were abusing. Problem being that 1 out of every 4 people use drop down menu's. So I go to the custom vb code area and start to work on a drop down menu code. So with my limited intellegence I make 3 different codes. Here they are.

VB Code Tag #1 is: select
VB Code Replacement: <select name=which style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 8pt; background-color: black; font-weight: ; color: white">{param}</select>

VB Code Tag #2 is: option
VB Code Replacement: <option value="Y2A">{param}</option>

VB Code Tag #3 is: br
VB Code Replacement: <br>

So it'd go something like this.

[select]
[option]Name: Brad[/option[br]
[option]Height: 10 ft[/option[br]
[option]Weight: 500 pounds[/option[br]
[/select]

Sounds simple enough. So I look over everything and for some uknown reason instead of displaying text all I get is a nice thin long column on a drop down menu with black bg and I'm guessing the only thing that isn't working is the option area which has me completely confused. *hits head on table again* Dang stupid pills must hurt ya...

Don't use any <br> tag, you don't need them in dropdowns. Also you're never closing the ] in the [/option] tag.

BR tags are useless in posts, vB automatically adds <BR> tags to the message with bbcodeparse.

My last question is how would I be able to make it so that normal users could like edit the font color on drop down menu as well as background color?

[filburt1]

Add an option to the tag that works as the color.

What I mean turtle man is for example this is what I got.

<select name=which style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 8pt; background-color: black; font-weight: bold; color: white">{param}</select>

Now I can't just insert a color code on the individual drop down boxes to change the color to like a red for instance. So how would I take this and then when a user inserts it make it so it'd go like this.

[SELECT COLOR=RED BACKGROUND-COLOR=WHITE]
[OPTION]Hello[/OPTION]
[OPTION]Filburt[/OPTION]
[OPTION]How[/OPTION]
[OPTION]Are[/OPTION]
[OPTION]You[/OPTION]
[OPTION]Today?[/OPTION]
[/SELECT]

IIRC there's a hack that lets you use multiple options in BB Codes, try that.

What is IIRC?

[filburt1]

If I recall correctly.

That's what happens when you get old.
