I've looked everywhere for a solution to this and hacked around with it all day with no luck.
How do we populate a select box using xml data obtained from an ajax request. If what I get back from the fillin example is this: <data> <first>Jack</first> <last>Flash</last> <email>[email protected]</email> </data> And I want to add a list of US states to a select box but obviously we can't have <state>AK</state> <state>AL</state> So question 1 is: What's the correct format for the XML response? My 2nd question is how do I break out the seperate parts from the transport response? transport.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('$fieldname')[0].firstChild.nodeValue; My 3rd question is, will the following code work for populating the select box? opt.text = "Alaska"; opt.value = AK; $("DropDownStateList").options.add(opt); // Assign text and value to Option object -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
