(Resolved)Adding a new dropdown list thats bound to a parameter in HTML Composer
I have gone round & round with attempting to add a new dropdown list to an HTML form that is bound to a parameter. I have tried to add the control in design and change its name to the amper variable I need. Then add the parameter in the parameters tab and binding the control to the parameter. I have tried adding the parameter in the parameters tab then creating the control, renaming it to the same name as the parameter, then binding the control to the parameter. I have tried at both stages above to re-associate the underlying fex that this HTML program calls when the Submit Button gets clicked. I have tried to re-fresh unresolved items in the parameters tab to see if it will hook up....to NO avail. I read Francis Mariani's post from back in March 2011, tried the underlying links, searched the forum, attempted to use the HELP option in Developer Studio but I can not get this darn thing to hook up. On one of my multiple attempts I recieved what appeared to be a javascript pop up box for an error message with "10000" as the desciption for the error. Never seen this one before??? It would seem that in about 5 minutes I should be able hook up a static dropdown list that contains 2 options for Excel or PDF, default it to Excel, add it as a parameter, click save and be done but THAT doesn't appear to be the case. Please help. Thanks, ErinThis message has been edited. Last edited by: ERINP,

In order for me to add this additional parameter to the HTML Composer this is what I did: - I added the control (combobox6), renamed it to the parameter name, IN_FORMAT. - Clicked on the Parameters tab, right clicked on the control (combobox6), chose "Use values from procedure". - went back to design tab, right clicked on my "Submit" button, Hyperlink properties, clicked on "Additional Parameters" next to the "OK" button, then clicked on the green X. - Saved the file - and the parameter was then recognized by the called fex via the "Submit" Button. The fact that I had added the parameter on the parameters tab and bound the control to it was a portion of my problem. I had to break this binding prior to doing the steps above.

- Clicked on the Parameters tab, right clicked on the control (combobox6), chose Dynamic , chose "Use values from procedure".

It would be nice if I had an option to pick: "Additional Parameters", at that point.
Why don't I?
