Re: [Active4d-dev] What is the best way to "object method" a web popup?

[Aparajita Fishman]

There are some popups whose values depend on the settings in previous
popups (previous in the sense of tab order - they are on the same  
page).
What I haven't been able to dertermine is the best way to do this in a
web page.
Here is a bit of Javascript + HTML I used, modify to suit your needs:
<script language="Javascript">
var nullCats = [];
var artCats = ["55", "Studio Art", "56", "Art History", "57", "Dance",  
"59", "Drama/ Theater",
			   "61", "Music: General", "60", "Music:  Choral", "63", "Music:  
Instrumental"];

var athleticsCats = ["64", "Athletic Director", "62", "Physical  
Education/ Health"];

var allCats = [nullCats, artCats, athleticsCats];
function removeAllOptions(selectObj)
{
        var count = selectObj.length;
        
        for (var i = 0; i < count; ++i)
        {
                if (navigator.appName == "Netscape")
                        selectObj.options[i] = null;
                else
                        selectObj.options.remove(0);
        }
}
function addOptions(obj, values, initialValue)
{
        var selected = initialValue == "-" ? 0 : -1;
        var opt = new Option("Please select", "-", false, false);
        obj.options[0] = opt;
        
        for (var i = 0; i < values.length; i += 2)
        {
                opt = new Option(values[i+1], values[i], false, false);
                var index = (i/2) + 1;
                obj.options[index] = opt;
                
                if (selected < 0 && initialValue == obj.options[index].value)
                        selected = index;
        }
        
        obj.selectedIndex = selected;
}
function setSubcategory(cats, subcats, initialSubcat)
{
        removeAllOptions(subcats);
        addOptions(subcats, allCats[cats.selectedIndex], initialSubcat);
}
</script>
<select name="f_category" class="cell" onChange="setSubcategory(this,  
form.f_subcategory)">
<%
c_string(255; $initialValue)
BuildSelectValueMenu("Please  
select;Administration;Art/Music;Athletics;Elementary  
Positions;English;History;Language;Librarian;Mathematics;Other; 
Religion;Science;Special Education;Technology/Computer Sciences";  
"-;1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14"; 0; "-")
%>
</select>
