Is it possible to populate a drop down box using data from notepad....I have employee last names and first names in notepad and i want to pull it to my drop down...can java script do this....I tried it with a table and it worked...
I am working on some sort of a program that will load data from a notepad or Excel file and load it into a ComboBox. The notepad file would have names and phone numbers in it. The ComboBox would only show their names in alphabetical order. There would also be a button that when you click it, it would open up Outlook (if you are signed into Outlook) and auto-fill the form with their phone number @ vtext.net (for texting verizon cell phones). The reason behind this is so the notepad or Excel file can be edited to add more users as the company expands.
I know that this is very basic to most of you JS Guru's out there, but I am stumped. I have found dozens of tuts on this, but can't seem to find a VERY simple basic version of it. This is what I want, actually my client wants. I want to have a select list that gives the options of countries. Then upon selection this changes the drop down list of the states/provinces listed. So when I click on Europe it shows the different sections of Europe, and US it shows the states (I'm sorry I don't know what Europe calls their equivalent of a state), etc.
I am attempting to populate a drop down menu based on the selection of a different drop down menu. However, it is not working correctly, I cannot figure out for the life of me what exactly happens because I am not getting any errors on the page. Code:
I would like to automatically populate a drop down menu when the page loads based on the selection of an item in a different drop down menu. I made a test page that when drop down #1 changes, drop down #2 populates. Does anyone know how to get drop down #2 to populate based on what is selected in drop down #1 when the page loads? Code:
I have a drop down selection menu, and I need it to populate an additional drop down menu. Basically a chained set of drop down lists. Below is my current code:

how to get a drop down box to populate using a value from a text box with out a page refresh.
I can get a value from a drop down box to populate another drop down box, but can't quite figure out how to get text value to populate a drop down menu.
how to create a somewhat simple form. The form will have text fields for 'Name', 'Phone', etc. What I want is to have a drop down list, which has different insurances to choose from (i.e. Medical Insurance, Dental Insurance, Senior products), and say when I choose 'Senior Products', new text fields pop up within the form to add their 'Address' and click a checkbox that states they authorize to be contacted. These new fields aren't visible unless they choose 'Senior Products' from the drop down list.
I am currently using "chained select menu" for drop down lists. I also have 2 popups of pictures and descriptions for items in my shopping cart. The chained select menu drop downs are linked to items in my shopping cart. What I would like to do is this...
I want there to be links (or Buttons) in the popup that when clicked will auto populate the drop downs and then then user will only have to click go to be taken to the url already specified in the chained slect menu script.
Basically, link the existing popups to auto populate the existing drop down menu..
Is there an existing javascript for this function or existing dhtml? If so, would anyone be so kind to direct me to it?

I created two drop downs, where the second one dynamically updates according to first selection. Now I jus have 2 members in first drop down and 20 in second drop down. I hard coded using javascript. But by the end of this year the number increases to 100's, then we cannot hard code it. I use html,javascript,jsp for the webpage. Is there a way to populate the dropdowns with data in a text file where they can update the text file with new members.

I'm having some issues with my code. I'm trying to pull data from one array and use it to populate a new array. With my initial array I can get the results of certain properties using 'servos[i].application'. Any servos that share their value with that of my filter box should be put into a new array called matches and allow me to referance them in a similar way 'matches[i].application'. At the minute I've got my code to populate the new matches array, i'm pretty sure, but when I try to get data out of the second array using the 'matches[i].application' style of query it says its undefined. I already have an array called servos which is full of 49 different servo objects. I've added the function containing this code and commented it too.
PHP Code: function dataPull(){ //create servoStore to build page for display //var servoStore=""; // search and get servos meeting application filter settings // create new array called matches with set properties var matches = new Array("application", "sclass", "type", "motor", "bearings", "gears", "modelno", "name", "speed", "v3_3", "v4_8", "v6_0", "v7_2", "weight", "dimensions", "opvoltage", "image", "description"); .....
I have a page that runs a lot of calculations.The math is computed on the fly using java scriptwhen all the calcs are in, prior to form submission the user needs to evaluate which numbers they prefer, and from there, once they select them, the form, based on those choices, will perform one last calclets say we have 3 result fields
r1 = 2000 r2 = 3000 r3 = 4000
what i want to do is have a select field be able to display those values at the bottom of the page;for example
<select name="s1"> <option value=[field contents of r1 above]>[field contents of r1 above]</option> <option value=[field contents of r2 above]>[field contents of r2 above]</option>
I want to populate a combobox with data pulled from a mysql db . The value of second combobox depends on what's been selected in first combobox. I assume pulling the data completely when loading the combobox and then filtering it locally to populate the second combobox based on the selection in first combobox will suit my needs so that i do not have to query server.What is the best way of doing it?
How can I use JQuery to, when clicking a row of data in a table, take that row (consisting of three columns) and populate three different input fields with it?
I am trying to populate data from an xml file when a certain catergory from the dropdown menu is selected. The dropdown menu is also populated from a xml source different from the one where the data is stored that needs to be pulled. so when a category is selected from the dropdown - the selected value will populate the data from the xml source. I am having trouble displaying the data when a category is selected from the drop down menu.
I am developing a web application in java (jsp's and servlets). For the project I am working on I will need to develop an html data entry screen and the code to load data into the screen, and then save the data back to the back-end database.
How to do the following: Read the data out of the database (JDBC, no problem) in a servlet. Put the data into the appropriate form for returning to the data entry screen, which will be a jsp. (Is JSON the right choice for passing the data from the servlet to the jsp?)
In the jsp, parse the returned data and populate the HTML form elements (text fields and combo boxes). When a button is clicked, pull the data out of the form elements and return to a servlet for saving back in the database.
Im working on a backend panel where i populate a simple table with a few text boxes in there so they can update some values. I also have at the end of every row in the table an Edit, Delete & Save button. When i hit the save button i would like to update that entry in the database.
My Problem is that i need a value from the table before hitting a submit button, and the element names are dynamically created meaning ill likely need a variable sent from php to javascript and once i have the value in javascript ill need to send it back over to the php to manipulate and send to the server.
From wat i can gather using 'document.form.element.value' is the best way to go, hence why i posted this in javascript when most of my code is php.
