I kind of figure out that in the codes I kind of figure it out that in the lines:

<div class="btn-group">
    <button type="button" role="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle cheese" data-toggle="dropdown" style="border: none;">
    Stocks <span class="caret"></span></button>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
        <li><a href="quote.php">Quote</a></li>
        <li><a href="graph.php">Graph</a></li>
        <li><a href="stock.php">What is a stock?</a></li>
    </ul>

For a dropdown menu to work the tag must become when clicked upon. But mine doesn't... Ok so these are my HTML codes straight from the browser (not source codes), but I can't figure out why didn't the drop down menu work at all... I know it's like a minor question but the design would look better with dropdowns. So if anyone is kind enough to help me with this...

You might find this useful, used it for my final project: http://www.internoetics.com/2010/01/05/populate-a-html-dropdown-box-from-an-array-or-database-using-php/

Your code is basically correct, here's how you can make it work:

<table>
<div style="text-align: left;">
    <div id="menu" style="background-color:#FFFFF;height:200px;width:200px;float:left;">
        <a href="graph.php">Graph stock</a><br>
        <a href="sell.php">Sell stock</a><br>

  • Sorry I am looking for a kind of button style dropdown menu where you can click into a link and then redirect you to another page. Thanks anyways!

  • There are a couple of ways of doing that. One way would be to use onclick event to call a function, and define that function as document.location.href="www.yoursite.com".

  • Is that using HTML or PHP codes?

  • Sorry, my mistake I got a bit confused after seeing the js script tag in your code, it was only after reading your post again that I realized you got it straight from the browser. The latest link I sent was for a js button. The first link I sent was for a php dropdown menu which you can click on to make your selection, that's the 1 you should use. Edited my answer above to add functionality you wanted.
