Can anyone help me out with the following, please?

The javascript for what I am wanting to do is as follows:

HTML Code:

function alert( header, message ) {
parent.applet.document.ChatClient.alert( header, message );
}

As far as I can tell, this works fine. The problem I am having is with the following code:

HTML Code:

<td>
<form name=Warn>
<B>Warn:</B> <select onchange="javascript:alert(this.options[selectedIndex].value);">
<option value="">--------</option>
<option value="Hi _USER_!";"Is everything ok?">Hi there!</option>
</select>
</form>
</td>

How do I make an options that contains both the header AND the message in the drop down here? I know what I have for the option isn't right.

Thank you in advance.

OK - the way I have done this (implemented for vBWar

) is as follows:

You need an multi-dimensional array in a single array that javascript can manage...

Try:

Code:

$boofosarray[$header.":".$message] = $displayvalue;

The trick is to generate your Select menu in PHP with values that don't work ($header.":".$message) and then explode it out in your javascript function which then pops up your alert.

Should work

So instead of putting your javascript call right there in the onchange, try putting a function call in there

Code:

onchange="return gimmesomesugar(this.options[selectedIndex].value);"

with the function

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function gimmesomesugar(sugar)
{
	var somesugar = sugar.split(":");
	parent.applet.document.ChatClient.alert( somesugar[0], somesugar[1] );
}
//-->
</script>

somewhere on your page

prolly better off in the <head>

Let me know how u go pal

[FYI: never name your custom javascript functions with the name of a default js function like "alert"

]

The javascript I posted above it how it has to be. This is for realchat and that's how he says to do it in the program. I have a page called extras that this is located on and where the rest of it has to go. Not much I can do about that, I'm afraid. This code goes in an html page, by the way.

The drop down was my idea as I wanted to be able to click it and have it send a warning to the user. There's no way to do that with this?

In your HTML page, can you add any content? like a Javascript function ?

HTML Code:

<td>
<form name=Warn>
<B>Warn:</B> <select onchange="javascript:alert(this.options[selectedIndex].value);">
<option value="">--------</option>
<option value="Hi _USER_!";"Is everything ok?">Hi there!</option>
</select>
</form>
</td>

Change this to

HTML Code:

<td>
<form name="warn">
<B>Warn:</B> <select onchange="gimmesomesugar(this.options[selectedIndex].value);">
<option value="">--------</option>
<option value="Hi _USER_!:Is everything ok?">Hi there!</option>
</select>
</form>
</td>

Add somewhere in the <head> tags

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function gimmesomesugar(sugar)
{
	var somesugar = sugar.split(":");
	alert( somesugar[0], somesugar[1] );
}
//-->
</script>

This should call the same alert function you have scripted in your first post, unless the regular javascript alert() function steps in and takes over

ok, that works, but it throws a popup up for this line:

--------

when I take it back to the beginning of the list. Can we fix that so it doesn't do anything for the first option like that?

Natch · #7 07-12-2004, 11:59 PM

Yeah - give it a value in your SELECT and test for that value in the javascript before throwing to the alter...

Try this

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function gimmesomesugar(sugar)
{
	var somesugar = sugar.split(":");
	if(somesugar.length==1) 
		{ return false; }
	alert( somesugar[0], somesugar[1] );
}
//-->
</script>
