| [SOLVED] multiselect help | Login/Join |
| Gold member |
Ok guys, I need some help with my multiselect box. i have attached the javascript that will populate my S2 listbox. When i setup an alert the values in the S2 listbox are showing up. I assumed webfocus would pass &S2=A OR B...ETC, etc. When i click on submit the variable &S2 is not getting passed. i guess i know you can populate javascript with a !IBI.FIL or !IBI.AMP but shouldn't &S2 pass without a hidden variable? I do not use Developer Studio so I would not be able to throw in report painter. Any advice would be great!! thanks for your help in advance.

1) Hartford, simple answer is Use Dev Stu. no reason not to. 2) the old way of passing hand-written multi selects from the old devstu gave you NOT &S2 but rather &S20 = the number of elements picked &S21 the first value &S22 the second value &S23 etc etc...up to the number you've picked, i.e. the value in &S20. Then it was up to you to loop in your fex: something sorta like this: -SET &KOUNTER = 1 ; WHERE thing EQ &S21 -REPEAT end.loop &S20 - 1 TIMES -SET &KOUNTER = &KOUNTER + 1 ; OR &S2|&KOUNTER -end.loop 3) the new devstu way passes the single parm string with the ORs stuck in. &S2='RICKY OR LUCY OR DESI OR ETHEL' so WHERE thing EQ &S2 is all you need. do a -? & as the first line of your fex to see what your page is actually passing.This message has been edited.

You have to select all the items in S2 for them to be passed. "There is no limit to what you can achieve ... if you don’t care who gets the credit." Roger Abbott | |||

Hartford, you don't do a -? &S2 you do a -? & the variable &S2 isn't getting passed...if your multiselect is a handwritten, old non devstu7 kind. If so, you'll see &S20 &S21 etc. See???

i set a value in the javascript: document.myChoices.srt2.value = strValues; then i passed it as a hidden variable and it works. WF 7.6.10 /IIS 6/ JBoss Enterprise 4.3 Windows XP SP 2/Windows 2003 Server MVS 7.3.3 | |||

As dhagen stated, you need to select the values you moved via JavaScript: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function moveOver()
{
var boxLength = document.myChoices.S2.length;
var selectedItem = document.myChoices.S1.selectedIndex;
var selectedText = document.myChoices.S1.options[selectedItem].text;

var i;
var isNew = true;
if (boxLength != 0) {
for (i = 0; i < boxLength; i++) {
thisitem = document.myChoices.S2.options[i].text;
if (thisitem == selectedText) {
isNew = false;
break;
}
}
var strValues = "";
//var boxLength = document.myChoices.S2.length;
var count = 0;
if (boxLength != 0) {
for (i = 0; i < boxLength; i++) {
if (count == 0) {
strValues = document.myChoices.S2.options[i].value;
}
else {
strValues = strValues + "," + document.myChoices.S2.options[i].value;
}
count++;
}
}
//{
//alert("Here are the values you've selected:\r\n" + strValues);
//}
}
if (isNew) {
newoption = new Option(selectedText, selectedValue, false, false);
document.myChoices.S2.options[boxLength] = newoption;
}
document.myChoices.S1.selectedIndex=-1;
}
function removeMe() {
var boxLength = document.myChoices.S2.length;
arrSelected = new Array();
var count = 0;
for (i = 0; i < boxLength; i++) {
if (document.myChoices.S2.options[i].selected) {
arrSelected[count] = document.myChoices.S2.options[i].value;
}
count++;
}
var x;
for (i = 0; i < boxLength; i++) {
for (x = 0; x < arrSelected.length; x++) {
if (document.myChoices.S2.options[i].value == arrSelected[x]) {
document.myChoices.S2.options[i] = null;
}
}
boxLength = document.myChoices.S2.length;
}
}
function SelectAll(selObj)
{
selectObject = eval('document.forms[0].' + selObj);
