Changing Style Of Drop Down Menu

[timmaggs]

On my create_accout.php page the code that I want changing it says:

 

<?php echo tep_get_country_list('country') . '' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT) ? '' . '': ''); ?>

In includes/functions/html_output.php which is where this links to I believe it says:

 

// Creates a pull-down list of countries
 function tep_get_country_list($name, $selected = '', $parameters = '') {
$countries_array = array(array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT));
$countries = tep_get_countries();

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($countries); $i<$n; $i++) {
  $countries_array[] = array('id' => $countries[$i]['countries_id'], 'text' => $countries[$i]['countries_name']);
}

return tep_draw_pull_down_menu($name, $countries_array, $selected, $parameters);
 }
?>

Then when viewing the source of my HTML page it spits it out looking:

 

<select name="country"><option value="">Please Select</option><option value="1">Afghanistan</option><option value="2">Albania</option>

...ect. through all the countrys.

 

I have tryed many different ways but keep getting error messages, how from this can I get the code to spit out HTML in the end that says:

 

<select name="country" class="search_box"><option value="">Please Select</option><option value="1">Afghanistan</option><option value="2">Albania</option>

With class="search_box" being included. Any Ideas?

 

Thanks,

i would look in the "return tep_draw_pull_down_menu();" function...

 

function tep_draw_pull_down_menu($name, $values, $default = '', $parameters = '', $required = false) {

$field = '<select name="' . tep_output_string($name) . '" class="search_box"';

 

try this... its untested and may not work.

 

PS this will change the class for all dropdown menus created with this function !!

Thats worked perfectly, but now what I want to do is when a text box is created on the shopping_cart page it is created differently, so I can have it a different style off the stylesheet.

 

Is this possible?

What you want to do is change the $parameters variable. As you can see below in the function $parameters is the third argument

function tep_get_country_list($name, $selected = '', $parameters = '')

 

So when you use tep_get_country_list and you want to add a specific class to it, you add that class as the 3rd argument in $parameters..For example to add the class search_box it should be

<?php echo tep_get_country_list('country', '', 'class="search_box"' )

 

This should give you what you want..also the $parameters argument could be the 3rd or 4th argument..but i think its the 3rd
