I am attempting to insert a drop down selector on a page within the CMS.
I've tried using the HTML Source Editor on the page but with I click "Update" it strips out my code.

My plan was to use this as a way to navigate to anchor tags within an FAQ page without listing out all of the questions at the top of the page as links.

I was using code like this:

<select name="selectionField">
<option value="Question 1" ><a href="#quest1"Question One</a></option>
<option value="Question 2" ><a href="#quest2">Question Two</a></option>
<option value="Question 3" ><a href="#quest3">Question Three</a></option>
</select>

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm still trying to figure out how to get this on a page without the system stripping out the code.

This code works in a stand-alone webpage:

<form>
<select name="faqForm" ONCHANGE="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="#">Select Your Question</option>
<option value="#quest1">Question One</option>
<option value="#quest2">Question Two</option>
<option value="#quest3">Question Three</option>
<option value="#quest4">Question Four</option>
<option value="#quest5">Question Five</option>
</select>
</form>

However, when I go into the HTML Source Editor (within the content area for the page) and type the above code in - the system strips it out as soon as I click Update. It converts it to this:

<p>Select Your QuestionQuestion OneQuestion TwoQuestion ThreeQuestion FourQuestion Five</p>

Is there a trick to getting the system to leave my code as is?

Anyone?

What you're looking for is "valid_elements" and "extended_valid_elements", options of tinyMCE.

http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:extended_valid_elements

You can set this options with:

HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->setOptions();

But I have to tell you: what you want to do is actually a bad idea. Especially the additional "form" tags in your code.

You could simply write a method in your page class, which seeks your anchor tags in $this->Content() and return them as a DropdownField for the template.
