We have an html page with a form that allows a user to enter a name and email and click a save button to write the data to a table using the modify function..

On the same page we have a listbox that grabs the values from the same table using an external proc. When a new user is added, how can we refresh the listbox and execute the modify procedure, so that the listbox shows the new users instantly?

PS: we are already tried using this command: IbComposer_ResetDownChainControls('combobox2');


Thank you.

We're able to get this working with the following help from IBI:

 
Problem:

Can a dynamic dropdown re-query the database after certain events occur on the
form?  Is there a JavaScript function that can accomplish this, or would the
page need to be refreshed, so that all the controls are reloaded?

Solution:

Below are specific JavaScript calls to automatically load dynamic controls
without having to reload the page.

 For controls not chained:
___________________________________________________________________________

    var select = document.getElementById("listbox1");
    if(select)
       {
          populateDynamicCtrl(select);
       }

 
 For all controls of the chain:
___________________________________________________________________________

          populateDynamicChains();

 
 For a control in the chain and all controls after it in the chain:
___________________________________________________________________________

    var select = document.getElementById("listbox1");
    if(select)
       {
         DoUpdateSelection(select);
         DoResetDownChainControls(select);
       }
 

I am doing the same but it is not working.

Did you set the xml attributes before calling this functions?
