Shop by Theme Box

[Guest]

Okay, on the new version of one of my sites I'm working on (http://mysticconvergence.majesticdragonfly.com), I want to put a "Shop by Theme" drop box for some categories. I'm going to manually do my categories box (which is no problem), but its not working and not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I tried:

<div class="boxTitleLeft">Shop by Theme</div>

<div class="boxContentLeft">

	<select name="lang" class="dropDown" onchange="jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

		<!-- BEGIN: option -->

		<option value="index.php?act=viewCat&catId=20">Angels</option>

		<option value="index.php?act=viewCat&catId=saleItems">Sale Items</option>

		<!-- END: option -->

	</select>

</div>

But the selection box is showing blank (see the site). What am I missing? Probably something simple I know since I haven't coded a drop box in a while :D

Hi

Try removing the <!-- BEGIN: option --> & <!-- END: option --> tags.

Remove <!-- BEGIN: option --> and <!-- END: option -->

Template section OPTION is not parsed.

Thanks! I knew it was something simple!

I added

		<option selected value="index.php">Choose</option>

in the first line too so it would force a change without using a "go" button. Just FYI in case someone else wants to do this

Will work well on some of my sites.

Thanks again.
