JavaScript - Open Multiple Dialog Boxes

I'm trying to use this code to create 6 sets of (each set 2 Dynamic List boxes). However I have the problem that Category 1-6 selection does not select the correct (adjacent) subcateory list box and instead populates the last selection in subcategory list box 1. How can I set the Java/HTML code so that for example Category #3, populates the selection/case into SubCategory#3 list box?

Form Code (only with 2 Category, SubCategory) this when working will be expanded to 6.

Code:

<table border="0" width="560">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center"><strong>Item#</strong></td>
<td align="center">Paint Type</td>
<td align="center">Colour</td>
<td align="center">Litres</td>
</tr>
  <tr>

    <td width="56%" align="left" valign="middle">1.<select name="category" id="category" onchange="javascript: dropdownlist(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);">
 
      <option value="">Select Range</option>
      <option value="New Paint">New Paint</option>
      <option value="Recycled Paint">Recycled Paint</option>
    </select></td><td name="cell1">

                 <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" >
 document.write('<select name="subcategory1" id="subcategory1" name="cell1" ><option value="" name="subcategory1">Select Product</option></select>')
 </script>

 <noscript><select name="subcategory1" id="subcategory1" >
 <option value="">Select Product</option>
 </select>
 </noscript>

</td><td>
 <input class="formbox" size="20" name="01_colour" /></td><td>
 <input class="formbox" size="5" name="01_litres" /></td>
  </tr><br>

  <tr>

 
    <td width="56%" align="left" valign="middle">2.<select name="category2" id="category2" onchange="javascript: dropdownlist(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);">
 
      <option value="">Select Range</option>
      <option value="New Paint2">New Paint</option>
      <option value="Recycled Paint2">Recycled Paint</option>
    </select></td><td name="cell2">
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
 document.write('<select name="subcategory" id="subcategory"><option value="" name="subcategory">Select Product</option></select>')
 </script>
 <noscript><select name="subcategory" id="subcategory" >
 <option value="">Select Product</option>
 </select>
 </noscript>
 

</td><td>
 <input class="formbox" size="20" name="02_colour" /></td><td>
 <input class="formbox" size="5" name="02_litres" /></td>
  </tr>    
 

</table>

Java Script which I think is the problem, I cant work out how to name the relevant cell the selection should display in.

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function dropdownlist(indexlist)
{

document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options.length = 0;
	switch(indexlist)
	{
	
		case "New Paint" :
		   	 document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[0]=new Option("Select Product","");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[1]=new Option("Air-Conditioners/Coolers","Air-Conditioners/Coolers");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[2]=new Option("Audio/Video","Audio/Video");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[3]=new Option("Beddings","Beddings");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[4]=new Option("Camera","Camera");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[5]=new Option("Cell Phones","Cell Phones");
	
	break;
	
		case "Recycled Paint" :
			    document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[0]=new Option("Select Product","");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[1]=new Option("Interior, Flat/Matt","Interior, Flat/Matt");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[2]=new Option("Interior, Low Sheen","Interior, Low Sheen");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[3]=new Option("Interior, Semi Gloss, Acrylic","Interior, Semi Gloss, Acrylic");

			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[4]=new Option("Interior, Gloss, Acrylic","Interior, Gloss, Acrylic");

			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[5]=new Option("Interior, High Gloss, Acrylic","Interior, High Gloss, Acrylic");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[6]=new Option("Interior, Suede","Interior, Suede");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[7]=new Option("Exterior, Flat/Matt","Exterior, Flat/Matt");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[8]=new Option("Exterior, Low Sheen","Exterior, Low Sheen");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[9]=new Option("Exterior, Semi Gloss, Acrylic","Exterior, Semi Gloss, Acrylic");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[10]=new Option("Exterior, Gloss, Acrylic","Exterior, Gloss, Acrylic");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[11]=new Option("Exterior, High Gloss, Acrylic","Exterior, High Gloss, Acrylic");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[12]=new Option("Paving/Concrete","Paving/Concrete");
			document.SampleForm.subcategory1.options[13]=new Option("Dulux Acratex","Dulux Acratex");
	
	break;

Hi everybody. I'm new to both Javascript and this site, so apologies if this isn't the right way to be asking this question.

Here's what I'm trying to do.

I've got two dropdown boxes ('language' and 'word'). When the submit button is pressed, I want a div to show with the right word in it. I can do this fine with one dropdown box, but two has got me stumped. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I think the problem I am having is an event not a css issue, so I hope I posted in the right forum.

What I am trying to achieve is the capability to provide multiple instant chat messages. I have the php/ajax for the instant messages, what I am not sure is how to be able to view multiple chats.

What I have started to do is limit it to five possible instant chat messages and have five divs in place with visibility hidden. It works fine for one.

But if someone clicks on the name of a person they wish to chat with, the way I am currently doing it, I would need to find out:
1. which divs were free to start an instant chat in (I have no idea how to do this with divs)?
2. Having identified it I will need to change the visibility so it suddenly becomes visible

I guess firstly am I going about this the right way to be able to host/view multiple chats?

My code is below.

Hi

I am trying to create a page that has a couple of pop-up overlay boxes from a couple of links, Everything is working ok I think except for a problem on a browser resize.

The original code I found : ( http://kalyanchakravarthy.net/?p=208 ) was created or only one window so the resize code controls both windows, when I think need each one controlled separately. The resize code will make a closed overlay box appear.

Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU

Hi,

I have long polling functionality working with Google Desktop Notifications.

http://blog.perplexedlabs.com/2009/0...-long-polling/

However if I have multiple tabs open then the Notification received from the server is duplicated on every tab.

Is there way to prevent this from happening as it should only appear once?

Thanks

Hello Everyone.

I have a bit of an issue trying to get one link to open more than one link at a time. Perhaps you can either help me or suggest a better way to do so.

I have created a table with hidden rows until a user clicks an open in either cell. Once the user clicks a cell, the next row of opens opens up.

What I am having trouble with is getting the table headings to be opened once hidden. Each set of options needs a title or question for the user to understand what choices to make. (these are the td's with colspan of 2)

I am using javascript to show and hide the cells I have so far, and I can hide them just fine, I just want to show both sets of cells once the user clicks one link. its a bit complicated because i have functions all over the place

Any help you give me would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, I can be reached on Y!: tmdela

Hello,

I'm using "Cut & Paste Multiple Dynamic Combo Boxes" script. I want to configure it, so at first only 1st combo box is visible and the rest are hidden and only populate based on the selections. Also, when the last parameter (from the 5th combo box) was selected, I need to show the table with the search results based on the all selected parameters.

Here is what I have so far:
Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

This script is used in my html page and I don't have a database to choose from. So, I wonder if it's possible to make all these modifications with only html and JavaScript. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I'm using the combo box selection menu by Elviro Mirko from this site (http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...plecombo.shtml)

I have made amendments to show my own data, however what I would like to happen is if the user selects from the top combo only, then all the records would be shown, whereas selecting from the second combo merely 'drills down' and shows the records required. - Hope that makes sense.

The code is as follows:

Code:

// first combo box

	data_1 = new Option("Douglas - DIS", "$");
	data_2 = new Option("Douglas - COE", "$$");
	data_3 = new Option("Peel - DIS", "$$$");
	data_4 = new Option("Peel - COE", "$$$$");
	data_5 = new Option("Ramsey - DIS", "$$$$$");
	data_6 = new Option("Ramsey - COE", "$$$$$$");
	data_7 = new Option("Castletown - DIS", "$$$$$$$");
	data_8 = new Option("Castletown - COE", "$$$$$$$$");		
// second combo box

	data_1_1 = new Option("Registry Office Douglas", "-");
	data_1_2 = new Option("Broadway Baptist Church Douglas", "-");
	data_1_3 = new Option("Finch Hill Congregational Church Douglas", "-");
	data_2_1 = new Option("St Thomas's Church", "--");
	data_2_2 = new Option("St Barnabas Church", "--");
	data_2_3 = new Option("St George's Church", "--");

The HTML code is as follows:

Code:

<select name="combo0" id="combo_0" onChange="change(this);" style="width:200px;">	
			
			<option value="">Select a Register...</option>
			<option value="Douglas - DIS">Douglas - DIS</option>
			<option value="Douglas - COE">Douglas - COE</option>
			<option value="Peel - DIS">Peel - DIS</option>
			<option value="Peel - COE">Peel - COE</option>
			<option value="Ramsey - DIS">Ramsey - DIS</option>
			<option value="Ramsey - COE">Ramsey - COE</option>
			<option value="Castletown - DIS">Castletown - DIS</option>
			<option value="Castletown - COE">Castletown - COE</option>
			

			</select>
<BR><BR>
			<select name="combo1" id="combo_1" onChange="change(this)" style="width:200px;">
			<option value="">Select a venue...</option>
			
			</select>

the link for the actual site is

http://www.manxbmd.com/cgi-bin/db.cg...m;db=marriages

If you choose Douglas-COE and search, then 0 records are found, if you choose Douglas-COE followed by St Thomas's then still 0 records are found but if you search the surname Allitson you'll see that there is a record there.

I'm not sure where I've gone wrong - I'm completely new to Javascript.

Any suggestions welcomed.

Hello! I am trying to find a script that allows you to open multiple browser tabs and then close each of those tabs, either one by one or all at once.

Does anyone know how to do this please?

Thanks so much for your help.

Hi,

Is there any way (any api) to display the confirm dialog box with yes/no buttons instead of ok/cancel in javascript.

Can any one please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Scripters,

I need to complete a task for a friend and I am stuck at this part. I am new with Javascript but I'm his only friend that knows a bit of Javascript.

So for this problematic part of my task, I need to use tables and dialog boxes.

First of all I need to define an array of 3 elements. Each element is associated with a different first name.

Then I shall realize a first function to add a name in the table. The function takes as parameter the table previously created and return it containing an additional element whose value is the name that the visitor wants to add. I must use the dialog box prompt so that the user can specify the name he wishes to add in the table.

I shall also perform a second function which will display the name that is included in the different array elements. This function will also take the table in parameters and proceed with setting the display name with a dialog box alert type that contains all of the name separated by ";".


Help is very much appreciated.

Please don't post links, I need explanations, so that I can understand next time I encounter this situation.

I have created a button with a window.confirm() method but when I click on it in firefox the dialog box does not appear. It does however appear in all the other browsers

Hey guys, I've been experimenting around with a way to get a "Save As" dialog to pop up prompting the user to download a certain file from the server.
How I've done this so far is open a window in Javascript to a PHP file, server side, passing an argument through _GET. The PHP generates the file and then sends a header request to download. Simple enough. The problem is that using this method opens a blank window in addition to the Save As Dialog. Is there anyway to fool the browser/ hide the window/ etc, so two windows don't pop up at the same time everytime my users press the download button?
I am also pretty familiar with AJAX techniques, so if anyone has a solution along that route as well I'd appreciate it.


Cheers,
