adding a second drop down list - 10/23/2005 20:51:46
Hello I was able to add one drop down list to my page but I would like to add a few others. But it keeps giving me an error stating the form is already used.
any help would be great. I'm using 2002 FP
Also these drop downs are used with out a "go" button and will only link you to onther page.
Thanks,
john

Did not see that extra d ,,lol but what it does now after fixing it. It only goes to whatever the last page I selected from the other drop down.

RE: adding a second drop down list - 10/24/2005 18:52:52
quote:
You'll need to give the second form a different name and in the js for the second form, change the name in the script on this line:
function formHandler(form)
to whatever the name of the second form is. that shouldnt be necessary. a function is designed to be used repeatedly - as often as it is "called". in this case, the function formHandler is "called" with this: onChange="javascript:formHandler()">
when the function was defined within the <script> tag, the author defined it as quote:
function formHandler(form) but the use of (form) could have just as easily been x since it merely represents whatever parameter is passed from the call. in other words, it could have (and maybe should have for reasons i will discuss) looked like this:
quote:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function formHandler(x){
var URL = document.form.site.options[document.x.site.selectedIndex].value;
window.location.href = URL;
}
// End -->
</SCRIPT>
what happens is that the call passes the form values a a parameter. the x respersents whatever is passed.
is thatmaking any sense? the point is that the script function only needs to be defined one time - not for each time it is used.

It is the second drop down that does not work... But I received an email back from Java they said the problem is I need a statment for each time it is called. They gave me the following fix, I will try it tonight
Thanks for the help

var URL = document.form2.site2.options[document.form2.site2.selectedIndex].value;
