The following class is supposed to produce a series of HTML dropdowns
and HTML text fields based solely upon variable names for month, day
and year passed into it. Those variable names will correspond to
actual variables with values that are passed into the preSelect()
function inside the methods (that function is called from an outside
parent script included). However, upon careful inspection the global
function does not globalize anything within any method.
Can someone look at this and tell me what I did wrong?
Thanx
