 This is my Ajax Function for my select list Year Level to change what is in the database..
xmlhttp4.onreadystatechange=function()
{
var lol1;
var lol2;
var fir;
var sec;
//document.form1.yearlvl.selectedIndex = 3;
if(xmlhttp4.readyState==4 && xmlhttp4.status==200)
{
sec = xmlhttp4.responseText;
lol1 = sec.replace("\n", "");
switch(lol1)
{
case "1st":
document.form1.yearlvl.selectedIndex = 1;
break;
case "2nd":
document.form1.yearlvl.selectedIndex = 2;
break;
case "3rd":
document.form1.yearlvl.selectedIndex = 3;
break;
case "4th":
document.form1.yearlvl.selectedIndex = 4;
break;
}
}
}
And This is my Select List in HTML
<select name = yearlvl id = yearlvl>
<option>Choose Year Level</option>
<option value = "1st">1st Year</option>
<option value = "2nd">2nd Year</option>
<option value = "3rd">3rd Year</option>
<option value = "4th">4th Year</option>
</select>
I don't know why it doesn't seem to work T___T
Thanks for any help

why do you need ajax for a listbox? is it part of a dependent listbox? is it updating db onchange? other?

im using ajax so that the value i get from the database will be the the selected index in the text box
LOGIC:
if 1styear is found in the database,
1st year will be selected in the select list..
got me? ^^

ccs = code charge studio
database is server side. if the form (eg update.php?id=54) sees data in the database for the record you are editing, it will display that data in the form fields - regardless of the type of control used in that field - textbox, listbox, checkbox, radiobutton etc.

build a quick test page... try it - maybe something broke on your current page. should take under 5mins to use builder to make grid and then modify one field to listbox and enter your list of values.

I tried that..
but the problem is, the function doesn't trigger the loop..
i tried document.form1.yearlvl.selectedIndex = 1;
the select list changes, but when I apply a loop and an If else inside, it doesnt work..

ok, rollback, what function? what loop? why are you doing client side stuff? if you change that control back to textbox does it show the current data?

im not going to try to understand your function. if your function is only retrieving datafrom db to set value on listbox in before show then its redundant. if your function does something else please say so.

so if the data appears then right click and change to list box.

im wondering if you are missing a config step of the listbox because its obviously not working for you. ill try to lay out the rest of the steps.
right click your textbox and change it to a listbox
left click the listbox.
on the properties -> data toolbox -> data source type -> change it to -> listofvalues
-> data source -> click the ... -> this will launch visual query builder
click on the + Add icon
enter 1st and 1st Year -> click ok
do the same for 2nd, 3rd, 4th
click on ok
publish and test.
it should work...
