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,
Erin

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.

Thanks.... Just needed to add "chose Dynamic"

- 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?
