Extended Pages widget

Consider downloading and installing Otto’s PHP Code Widget.

Then put this in one of those widgets:

<?php wp_dropdown_pages(); ?>

I put it in the text widgets. It’s shows up at my homepage but when i select a page in the dropdownbox nothing happens. If i change <?php wp_dropdown_pages(); ?> into <?php wp_list_pages(); ?> the links work fine.

Why doesn’t the dropdown not work?

Try the Dropdown_with_Submit_Button example

I have just tried the same as willem g. I am using Otto’s PHP Code Widget and have inserted this code:

<?php wp_dropdown_pages('include=1409,1411,1413,1415,1417,1419,1421,1423&sort_column=ID' ); ?>

Why don’t these links work as the categories widget when dropdowns are selected?

I have implemented the submit button solution, but I am still looking for the “jump” menu solution. Is it possible?

Got it working!

<li id="pages">
	<h2><?php _e('pages'); ?></h2>
	<form action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/" method="get">
<?php
	$select = wp_dropdown_pages('show_option_none=Select pages&show_count=1&include=1409,1411,1413,1415,1417,1419,1421,1423&sort_column=ID&echo=0');
	$select = preg_replace("#<select([^>]*)>#", "<select$1 onchange='return this.form.submit()'>", $select);
	echo $select;
?>
	<noscript><input type="submit" value="View" /></noscript>
	</form>
</li>

fine but if you add selected=1 – it doesn’t work!
