Javascript and Web Form

Amrodg · Jan 26, 2006

So I pretty much a form that When you click submit shows you the data in a new window. I cannot figure out how to make multiple things show up if I am using a option box with multiple=yes on. Anyone have any ideas?

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function display() {
DispWin = window.open ('','NewWin')
message += "font-style:" + document.test.lbt8fontstyle.value + "&#59<BR>";
DispWin.document.write(message);
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY>

<form name="test">

Text Style:
<select name=lbt8fontstyle multiple=yes>
<option value="Normal">Normal</option>
<option value="Italic">Italic</option>
<option value="Oblique">Oblique</option>
</select><BR><BR>
<INPUT type="button" value="display" onClick="display();">

Thanks,
Amrodg

Do you mean the popup window should show more info if you have options on the main form checked?

You can pass parameters on the URL to the new page when you open it and use script inside to read those values to know what to display, or you can read the values of the options selected on the parent window to determine what to display.

You need to loop around all the options checking to see which are selected. For a select element with the multiple attribute set, testing the value attribute is not the way to go.

Hope this helps,
