Hi Jim, I can supply the data in any form. I think I may have found a rather
crude way of doing it and I've just finished testing it, and it seems to work.
I am returning the data as a string in this case. Records are delimited by a
comma, fields are delimited by a colon. Like this:
Format: id:cruise_name:destination,
"1:Aaron's Cruise:Auckland,2:Another Cruise:Sydney"
I'm then doing a series of splits on the comma and colon to create a
multi-dimensional array, then loop and add listitems as normal.
function whenDataRetrievalComplete() {
// Get a list of cruises from the server and add to the dropdown
cruise_string = ajax.response;
// DEBUG // alert(cruise_string);
cruise_array = cruise_string.split(',');
for($i=0; $i<cruise_array.length; $i++) {
if(cruise_array[$i] != '') {
cruise = cruise_array[$i].split(':');
var item = new qx.ui.form.ListItem(cruise[1]);
item.setValue(cruise[0]);
field.add(item);
}
}
}
I was just wondering if there was an easier way. Like parsing XML nodes if I
returned it that way. Like I said, what I just worked out seems to work OK. If
you see any glaring issues with the above or know of a better way, please let
me know. (e.g. Returning a multi-dimensional array from the PHP file to JS
would be perfect, but I don't think this is poss and it always came as a string
that just said "Array" when I tried.
Cheers for all your help mate
Aaron

What does the data look like that is getting returned from the server? Please
provide an example of the string that is coming back.

Would anyone happen to have an example of how add list items to a combobox
based on data returned from an AJAX call?
I've got an AJAX call working fine and it can return either a string or
XML. But I'm pulling my hair out trying to assign the results and add them as
list items.
Code so far - (Using SACK Ajax library)
// Select Field (dropdown) for displaying cruises in the system (via AJAX)
function ftmDataEntryCruiseComboBox (name, xPos, initialVal) {
var field = new qx.ui.form.ComboBox(initialVal);
field.setCssClassName("ftm-text-fields");
field.setTop(xPos);
var params = '';
ajax.reset;
ajax.requestFile = "ajax/get_cruise.php";
ajax.method = 'get';
ajax.onError = whenDataRetrievalError;
ajax.onCompletion = whenDataRetrievalComplete(field);
ajax.runAJAX();
return field;
}
function whenDataRetrievalComplete(field) {
// Add listitems to field using data from AJAX call
}
function whenDataRetrievalError() {
alert('error getting data');
}
Cheers
Aaron
