esandra Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 This script creates dynamic text boxes based on the chosen number from the drop down in php. But what I actually want to do is to use a drop down(generate comboboxes instead of the textboxes) that I want to populate with values from my sql table but I don't have any idea how to modify the javascript to do this... <html> <head> <script> function make_boxes(v) { v=!v?0:v; document.getElementById("boxes_container").innerHTML = ""; for(var i=0;i<v;i++){document.getElementById("boxes_container").innerHTML += "Box-"+(i+1)+": <input type='text' name='box"+i+"'><br />";} //the line above creates the text boxes } </script> </head> <body> <form action="" method=""> Pick number of boxes: <select name="numbers" onChange="make_boxes(this.value)"> //this where we choose the number <option value=""></option> <option value="5">5</option> <option value="10">10</option> <option value="30">30</option> <option value="50">50</option> </select> <p> <div id="boxes_container"><> //this is where the text boxes are displayed, also where i want to display the combo boxes </p> <p><input type="submit" value="Submit"></p> </form> </body> </html> thank you very much for your time and have a great day ahead of ya "Tag malfunction" edited . . .
