Hello from Argentina!
I am the guy that needed to store COMBO BOX options in an external .JS File.
Please execute the code, and the error will appear. Please try to fix it because I couldn't.
Please, (if it isn't too much trouble), can you change the two one-dimensional arrays and use one two-dimensional array?
THANKS DIANAL !!!!!!
I posted below the code you built...
================
in combo.js file
================
combo1short = new Array;
combo2short = new Array;
combo1 = new Array;
combo2 = new Array;
combo1short[0] = "";
combo1short[1] = "USA";
combo1short[2] = "UK";
combo1[0] = "--Select country--";
combo1[1] = "United States of America";
combo1[2] = "United Kingdom";
combo2short[0] = "";
combo2short[1] = "Web";
combo2short[2] = "Email";
combo2short[3] = "FTP";
combo2[0] = "--Select access--";
combo2[1] = "Web access";
combo2[2] = "Email access";
combo2[3] = "FTP access";
// you could also use two-dimensional array if you like
// i like to use two one-dimensional arrays
==================
in combo.html file
==================
function populate(comboshort,combo, cboname) {
// ... other code
str += "<option value=\"" + comboshort[opt] + "\">"+ combo[opt] + "</option>\n";
// other code
}
// ...
in body:
document.write(populate(combo1short,combo1,"combo1"
);
document.write(populate(combo2short,combo2,"combo2");

HERE IS THE OLD HTML FILE

return str;
}
function testvalues(frm){
// check to see if the value scan be accessed.
// NS has problems with such function, IE is OK
// frm is the form
