Database generated list boxes 1

[mattys]

Hi

I have a couple of dynamically generated list boxes on this page

http://www.extremeboardshots.com/x-schools-search/south-west-devon-surf-schools.asp.

If you select a criteria, in either, or both, but don't carry out a search and hit clear, they clear. However, if you select either, or both and carry out a search and then decide to carry out a completely different search, based on different criteria, the clear button does not clear the selected criteria.

Any ideas how this can be resolved?

Help and advice greatly appreciated.

Regards

Matt

You will need to reset both list boxes on the onClick event of the Clear button. Try something like this. (Strictly this would belong in the Javascript forum - Forum216)

<SCRIPT language="JAVASCRIPT">
function resetForm()
{
  document.frmSearch.Towns.selectedIndex=0;
  document.frmSearch.Locations.selectedIndex=0;
}
</SCRIPT>
...
...
...
...
<input type="reset" name="B2" class="buttons" value="Clear" onClick="resetForm();">

The reason the Clear button is currently not clearing the FORM is because it is intended to reset the form to its original state when the page was loaded. Since the page is loaded with the previous values selected, that is what it will reset to.

Thanks FesterSXS

Seems to make sense, sorry for not submitting to javascript forum.

I have tried the above and added the javascript bit, but it still doesn't seem to work. Can you let me know exactly where to place the Javascript?

Cheers

try changing the RESET button to a BUTTON

<INPUT type="button" name="B2" class="buttons" value="Clear" onClick="resetForm();">

Strange. What is happening now is that if nothing is selected and you hit 'clear', it selects the top two criteria. If you have critaria selected, before or after search, when you hit 'clear' it also selects top two criteria??

change the 0 to -1 and see if that does it.

also - change the button back to RESET type. This will ensure that the list scrolls back to the top.

Tried this and just does the same as before, but goes to critera 2, or nothing at all.

Hmmmmm...

it needs to be -1 not 1

Ignore last response, sent before I got your last response. Have tried with reset and if you select criteria, but don't search and then clear, it clears, but if you do a search and then try and clear it doesn't.

whoooa, getting crossed wires, will now try -1, not 1

 

[FesterSXS]

ok - put it back to a BUTTON instead of RESET and add these at the top of your function

function resetForm()
{
[b]  document.frmSearch.Towns.selectedIndex=0;
  document.frmSearch.Locations.selectedIndex=0;[/b]
  document.frmSearch.Towns.selectedIndex=-1;
  document.frmSearch.Locations.selectedIndex=-1;
}
