selection changes to first in list

Hi

Attached txt file is the code from a page that has a dynamic dropdown. The dynamic bit works - but as soon as you move the mouse to go and click the 'add' button, the selection reverts to the first item in the list.

I see there's a mouseover bit of code, but can't see its relevance to the problem, as the selection changes well before you get to the add button (button done wit button styler)

If you make a selection and tab to the add button and press enter, the record inserts properly.

Any ideas?

BTW - I think it's a great shame that this extension is being discontinued - I hope that webassist will create their own jquery version to help us non-tecchies!

Cheers

The populate list from array behavior should be set to the OnChange event of the parent list.

you have it set to the onMouse over event of the p tag that contains the submit button, it should not be on the submit button p tag.

Thanks Jason - if only I knew how to change it! I've run the behaviour again several times and with varying degrees of failure!

you need to remove the onMouse over event code:

change:
<p onmouseover="WA_FilterAndPopulateSubList(rsPostList_WAJA,MM_findObj('CtteeID'),MM_findObj('PostID'),0,0,false,': ')">


to:
<p>

Hi Jason

Done that - but now the dependent dropdown doesn't work.

the populate list from array behavior needs to be added to the on change event of the parent list.

Hi Jason

Tried that - now I get the dynamic dropdown (which I did before), but when I select one of the list items, nothing happens - it stays as the first in the list.

please send a link where i can see the problem, and send a copy of the page in a zip archive so I can examine the code.

Hi Jason

Thanks - the original message contains the source code; I'm afraid I can't provide a link, as it's in a restricted area.

Cheers

but in the code from the original post, you did not have the Populate List From array behavior applied to the onchange event of parent select list.


you had it applied to the onmouse over event of a p tag.

I told you to remove it from the p tag and add it to the onchange event of the parent select list.

If this is not working, then I need to see the Current state of the code. the original file doesn't do any good since it does not accurately reflect the code that is running in the page now....

compress the current version of the file to a zip archive please....
