Unless you have a good grounding in HTML, PHP & CSS so that you can create your own custom solution, I think you will need to find a suitable plugin for this.
Thank You esmi
Any clues as to a possible plugin? Or what I would need to search for to attempt to find such an animal?
Your response is appreciated.
Thank you esmi –
I tried those but unfortunately none of them appear to be what I am looking for since most generate maps etc. but I will keep digging. Thank you for your help.
Any other suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
This should work:
<select name="state-dropdown" onchange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;"> <option value="">Select State</option>
<option value="http://yoursite.com/custom_url_here">First State</option>
<option value="http://yoursite.com/custom_url_here">Second State</option>
<option value="http://yoursite.com/custom_url_here">Third State</option>
//finish out your states
</select>

rather than directing to a new URL I would like it to display specified content below the drop-down menu just as it does on the redken site
http://www.redkensalon.com/distributor-locator/
Any insights you might provide would be appreciated.
I took a look at their code and I understand the HTML but something is not triggering properly to only reveal the selected state so I assume it is a coding issue.
Here is my horrid attempt: http://norvelltanning.com/temp2013/here/?page_id=1493&preview=true
Again anyone who can offer some sort of direction – I truly appreciate it!
Sorry about that it was published I just pulled the incorrect link http://norvelltanning.com/temp2013/here/domestic-distributors/
Thank You for taking the time to help me sort this out.
I see, all you want to do is to bring folks to that section on the page – well, will be tedious but none the less simple.
What you want to do first is make each State Label in your page a bookmark:
We do this with this sample anchor:
<a id="state_name">State Name 1</a>
etc.
Then we use the id in the selector
<option value="http://norvelltanning.com/temp2013/here/domestic-distributors/#state_name">First State</option>
We could also use a php function in there such as get_permalink, etc…and use the same code on multiple pages.
Awesome I will try this and let you know how it goes. I don’t mind tedious if I can just get the crud to function properly.
I truly appreciate all of your help. There are really some great people here to help me stumble through as I figure this whole thing out.
Ok now that i have re-read the above I see your suggestion. Right now everything is showing in one long string which is incorrect.
What I would like to happen is for the visitor to see the drop-down menu of states, when they select their state, it brings up the distributors coded for their state (region)
The theme I am using has an area to add custom CSS and JS code to the header, which I believe is the part that I am missing to actually make this function properly and below is the code I currently have for the page:
