Hello, I am trying to do something different here but need some help. I want to add a combobox into my datagrid so the user can change the value right from the data. I can get the combobox to show up in the datagrid but am unable to get the value out of it. If I change the seat number from 2 to 5 and click on change, I get the following:
 JAGUAR XJ12L AUTO <SELECT id="SEAT_NUM"> <OPTION value=2>2</OPTION> <OPTION value=5 selected>5</OPTION> </SELECT> 


I wanted:
JAGUAR XJ12L AUTO 5

Here are the two fex examples.
Fex1
-* File wf_question.fex
DEFINE FILE CAR
  SEAT_NUM/A1000 = IF SEATS EQ 2 THEN '<SELECT id="SEAT_NUM"> <OPTION value=2 selected>2</OPTION> <OPTION value=5>5</OPTION> </SELECT>'
                                 ELSE '<SELECT id="SEAT_NUM"> <OPTION value=2>2</OPTION> <OPTION value=5 selected>5</OPTION> </SELECT>';
  CHG/A15 = 'Change'
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     CAR
     MODEL
     SEATS
     SEAT_NUM
     CHG AS 'Change Seat Number'
WHERE CAR EQ 'JAGUAR'

Because you have specified FOCEXEC for the drilldown, WebFOCUS will build the link when it makes the report, therefore you will always get the full select list. You probably need to call javascript to do this. JS can get the value of the selection list.
