Just a little heads up Any pull down list like this will not allow search engines to crawl your categories or Manufacuturers unless you have a site map or other NON JAVA meathods for linking
I prefer this modification because it uses actual URL I am not sure if a crawler will index this but their is definately more of a possibitlity bexause it actualy sees a link vor the value rather than just a Manuid I used this for my Categories also.
menu_manufacturers.tpl line:6
Code:
<form name="ManufacturerMenu">
<select onChange="location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" style="font-size:11px; color:#333333; width:160px;">
<option value="{$http_location}/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=0">Click for Manufacturers</option>
{section name=mid loop=$manufacturers_menu}
{if $manufacturers_menu[mid].products_count gt "0"}<option value="{$http_location}/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturerid}"{if $manufacturerid==$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturerid} selected {/if}>{$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturer}</option>
{/if}{/section}
</select>
</form>
This is my Source Granted it is still java script but their at leas is and obvious link.(Im using a URL mod to get the .html not a catalog)
