[SOLVED] Auto execute when value changed in dropdown

Hello,

From w/in an HTML page, when I user makes a change in a dropdown box from 2008 to 2012, I'd like to have the graph auto execute *without* having to click on the play/submit button.

I looked in the Properties and the Properties & Settings for the combobox, but I diddn't see an option for auto execute, am I looking at the wrong place?

How can I accomplish the auto execute the graph when only using the dropdown menu?

Thank you in advance,
Kim

Hello, one additional piece of information. The graph was created in Advanced Graph Assistant and I don't have a Parameter page to help w/auto execute as recommended from this posting:

If you are using release 769 or higher, you can go to the Parameters tab and drag the graph frame from the Thumbnails pane put onto the canvas, then bind the dropdown to the graph frame. This creates an onChange/execute action.

I believe you can use a javascript event of onchange (?) and when the value changes in that control, then you code the javascript event to execute the procedure.

I am going totally from memory here, so I could be way off base... but look into the Javascript events on the Javascript tab (same area as Properties)

Hi David,

That's the problem, I created this in Advance Graph Assistant, there is no Parameters tab -- or am I not looking in the right place?

Thanks,
Kim

Thank you Emily,

I tried to use the recommendation I found off of this link, but it didn't seem to work

http://forums.informationbuild...71057331/m/183100541

//Begin function combobox1_onchange
function combobox1_onchange(ctrl) {
OnExecute(sub_button)

}
//End function combobox1_onchange

I'd like to avoid using js, but I will give that a try too. I just thought it would be easier using WF built-in.

Thanks,
Kim

Hi Kim,

What David means is not in the graph assisitant dialog, but the HTML page dialog (or GUI).

When you have the HTML compser displayed, you have three tabs at the bottom left - Design, Parameters, HTML.

In the Design tab, you should have your combo box and your graph? Goto the Parameters tab and you will see the combo shown in the left hand pane and an icon on the right representing the graph. Click on the graph and drag it into the area with the combo and then click on the combo and drag it over the graph in the left hand pane. This will show an arrow from the combo to the graph showing that they are bound and changes to the combo should be reflected in the graph providing the graph and combo variable names reflect one another.
