[Closed]Populate listbox vertically

Hi,

I use the following code to read values from text file and trying to populate them to the listbox. The values are getting added but horizontally as a single value. I need them to be displayed vertically as multiple values.

animals.txt contains the following value
Lion
Tiger
Elephant

--- My Code ----------------------------

SET HOLDLIST=PRINTONLY
FILEDEF TRY DISK ab63221/animals.txt
TABLE FILE TRY
PRINT ANIMAL
ON TABLE SAVE AS ANIMALLIST
END
-RUN

-HTMLFORM BEGIN

Have rest of my HTML code which is not getting displayed in this post

!IBI.FIL.ANIMALLIST;

-HTMLFORM END
----------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
Ramya

Squatch

Here is an example with the CAR file:

TABLE FILE IBISAMP/CAR
PRINT
    CAR
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 3
ON TABLE HOLD AS CARJSON FORMAT JSON
END

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<script type="text/javascript">
function build_listbox() {
	var cars = !IBI.FIL.CARJSON;

// "cars" variable now contains this JSON object:
//
//   {
//     "records" : [
//        { "CAR" : "JAGUAR" },
//        { "CAR" : "JENSEN" },
//        { "CAR" : "TRIUMPH" }
//      ]
//   }

	var listbox = document.getElementById("listbox1");

	for (i = 0; i < cars.records.length; i++) {
		var option = document.createElement("option");
		option.text = cars.records[i].CAR;
		option.value = cars.records[i].CAR;
		listbox.add(option);
	}
}
</script>
<body onload="build_listbox()">
<select id="listbox1"></select>
</body>
-HTMLFORM END

You probably need to account for the CR/LF in the text file before loading it...
