Hello all, may be somebody faced with js problems for multiple dropdown boxes? I have quite complicated logic in HTML composer code for dropdown box with attribute multiple. And I have to analyze type of controls, get attribute values or use following constructions:
text_val = frame.getElementById("lst_name").value , where
(for parameter screen I have to use tabs and frame for second tab runs other html page with controls). Html source was created in Developer studio and works fine, but if save it in App studio (8.0.2.3), the most of js code becomes unworkable for this control(for text or select-one controls such code works fine). for some cases I can use IbComposer functions (for example, .value could be replaced with IbComposer_getCurrentSelection function), but not in case of calling from other source or analyze of type or attribute values. Could you, please, help me? Thank you.This message has been edited. Last edited by: FP Mod Chuck,

Oly,
If you are trying to get a multi-select drilldown working, you just need to ensure your WHERE statement in your procedure supports multi-select controls by using the OR syntax:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
CAR
MODEL
WHERE CAR EQ &CAR.(OR(FIND CAR IN CAR)).CAR.;
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END
Then, ensure the listbox or dropdown control multiple property is set to true or enabled.

Obvious: IDK... JS: is there a need for JS to do this?... Cake: I Like Cake... "ensure your WHERE statement in your procedure supports multi-select": Fine.
I created a parser (fex) in a few cases to loop thru the incoming variable from an 'edit' control where the user would separate their criteria with commas (EX: commsc%,%USA%,%tech% ) and create the complete WHERE statement within that loop: WHERE THISFIELD LIKE 'COMMSC%' OR '%USA%' OR 'TECH%'. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do...

Hello Guys, thank you for your answers, but as far as I understand in App Studio we have HTMLDivElement objects for dropdownboxes with switched on attributes Multiple. Before it was HTMLSelectElemenet for multiple and for single. And from now javascripting for such controls should be changed, because a lot of object's properties are not working.
Most of my controls created in Dev Studio 8.0xx need recreating in App Studio 8.1xx. A few more need recreating from App Studio 8.1xx to app Studio 8.2xx.
