I am trying to do two things, here. I have a custom listbox with a set of dates. I also have a dropdown for the month. When the user selects a month I want it to clear the to list and then repopulate it with the new selected data. I built it this way rather then a calendar as it’s a dynamic table that has only the 30 previous business days, and fet it beter to only allow for actual dates with data.

Any help would be great.

Thank you,

Andrew
 //Begin function combobox1_onchange

function combobox1_onchange(ctrl) {

var myControl = document.getElementById('combobox1');
var myControlSelectedText = myControl.options[myControl.selectedIndex].value;
var	myMonth = myControlSelectedText;

// regex to test
var strPatt = new RegExp("^" + myMonth);
     var list = document.getElementById('customselect1_selectfrom');
for(var i = 0; i < list.options.length; ++i)

	{
		if(strPatt.test(list.options[i].text) == true){ 
			list.options[i].selected = true;

		}
	}
}
//End function combobox1_onchange

So, my first question is: Why are you using a JS listbox instead of doing it in the HTML Composer?

The HTML Composer has it all (OK, almost everything), including the cascading which you desire.

I am using the HTML composer, the select the Month is an optional variable. You can run a set of reports, on a single day, multiple days, between two dates and the whole month. The custom list box is chained to two optional filters, one is a process type and the other is a customer. I can reset the listbox, but just need to move the selected values, that is the missing piece. I am a “beginner” with JS, I have .net background, and have found little help in the ibi docs, so I figured I would ask here.
