RE: Dynamically populating a drop down list.

Hi Folks,

I have designed a dynamic drop down list but having problems since it is not working as intended. Please help

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html>

<head>

<Script language="Javascript">
 
var Select = new Array("-----");
 
var test = (

"Select",

"ITEM 1",

"ITEM 2",

"ITEM 3",

"ITEM 4");
 
var test 1("Select",

"Product 1",

"Product 2",

"Product 3",

"Product 4");
 
function swap(the_array_name)

{

var numbers_select = window.document.Formname.Product;

var the_array = eval(the_array_name);

setOptionText(window.document.Formname.Product,the_array);

}
 
function setOptionText(the_select, the_array)

{

var c;

the_select.length=the_array.length;

for (c=0; c < the_array.length; c++)

    {

    the_select.options[c].text = the_array[c];

    }

}

</script>

<form name="Formname">

<tr><td>

<select name="item" onchange="swap(window.document.Formname.item.options[selectedIndex].value);">

<option value="1">Test</option>

<option value="2">Test 1</option>

</select>
 
<select name="Product">

<option selected>Select</option>

</select>

</form>

</html>

<form name

The above is the rough code like what i am trying to achieve. Please help me with this subject.

Thanks in advance!!
