Im just doing it the way I have been asked to do it.. I have been
asked not too put too much information on the 1 page and the user will
be made aware that there are more steps to go.. I have been fiddling
about with it and have figured out a way to generate new option boxes
with the following code
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var prod = new Array ('Select an option', 'option1', 'option2',
'option3', 'option4');
function NewSel(me)
{
var sel1 = document.createElement('SELECT');
sel1.setAttribute("name", me);
for (var zxc0=0;zxc0<prod.length;zxc0++)
{
var o = document.createElement('OPTION');
o.value=prod[zxc0];
o.appendChild(document.createTextNode(prod[zxc0]));
sel1.appendChild(o);
}
document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].appendChild(sel1);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="test.php" method="post" >
<select name="test1" id="test1" OnChange="NewSel('test2');">
<option value="one">please choose</option>
<option value="two">number 1</option>
<option value="three">number 2</option>
<option value="four">number 3</option>
</select>
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The problem with this is that I can only get the new option box
appended to the end of the form (after the submit button). What I
really want is for it to be appended right next to the current select
box inside the form. I know the problem is with the line
document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].appendChild(sel1);
but when I change form to select it will not display any new select box
Thanks
