dynamic html forms
I am working on dynamic form. i have a radio button, if a user select a radio button, i want to populate a drop down menu based on the radio button values.
eg. if radio button value=value1 show drop menu of 3 items (apple, banana, mango)
eg. if radio button value=value2 show drop menu of 5 items (apple, banana, mango,apricot, ornage)
etc. I have used css to hide and show the drop down menu.

; when i remove the table tags it works. it开发者_运维知识库s a bit strange...

(2) second question is, i have a second radio buttons like this: eg. if radio button value=value1 show drop menu of 3 items (apple, banana, mango) eg. if radio button value=value2 show drop menu of 5 items (apple, banana, mango,apricot, ornage) etc. I have used css to hide and show the drop down menu.
now the trick is, if i already selected value=value1, i don't want to show value1 again in the second radio button
any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated.
try this
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var comList= new Array("apple","banana","mango");
var list = new Array("orage", "apricot");
var val1selected = 0;
function loadDropDown(option){
setSelectdVal(option)
createDropDown(option)
}
function setSelectdVal(option){
if (option == 1){
val1selected = 1;
}
}
function createDropDown(option){
html = "";
html = html + '<select id="id">'
var arr = getArray(option);
for (var i=arr.length-1; i>=0; --i ){
html = html + '<option value="' + i + '">' + arr[i] + '</option>'
}
html = html + '</select>'
document.getElementById('selectTag').innerHTML = html;
}
function getArray(option){
var a = comList;
if ((option == 2) && (val1selected == 0)){
a = comList.concat(list)
}
return a;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="radio" name="options" onClick=loadDropDown(1);>value1</td>
<td><input type="radio" name="options" onClick=loadDropDown(2);>value2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td id="selectTag"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
I would suggest taking a look at some Javascript frameworks which will make your life a lot easier. Take a look at ExtJS: http://www.sencha.com/products/js/ or jQuery: http://jquery.com/ these frameworks can handle your problems with ease.
