Populate <select> with FormAPI

LeSmou

Hi,

TS 6.x, Windows 2000

we want to populate a combobox within a DCT, but we dont't get it work.

DCT-Code:
...
<script language="javascript">
var api = parent.getScriptFrame();
api.IWDatacapture.callServer("/iw-bin/include_teaser.ipl", new Object(), true);
</script>
...
<container name="teaser" combination="and" hide-name="t">
<item name="teaser">
<label>Teaser</label>
<select multiple="t" size="10" required="t">
</select>
</item>
</container>
...

The include_teaser.ipl is called w/o problems.
In this .ipl we create following output:

<script language="javascript">
alert('test');
var api = parent.getScriptFrame();
var option = new Array();
option[0] = new Option("templatedata/vb_navigation/untermenu/data/de/unternehmer", "0", false, false);
option[1] = new Option("templatedata/vb_navigation/untermenu/data/de/unternehmer", "1", false, false);
option[2] = new Option("templatedata/vb_navigation/untermenu/data/de/unternehmer", "2", false, false);
option[3] = new Option("templatedata/vb_navigation/untermenu/data/de/boerse", "3", false, false);
option[4] = new Option("templatedata/vb_navigation/untermenu/data/de/boerse", "4", false, false);
option[5] = new Option("templatedata/vb_navigation/untermenu/data/de/boerse", "5", false, false);
option[6] = new Option("templatedata/vb_navigation/untermenu/data/de/private", "6", false, false);
option[7] = new Option("templatedata/vb_navigation/untermenu/data/de/private", "7", false, false);
option[8] = new Option("templatedata/vb_navigation/untermenu/data/de/private", "8", false, false);
api.IWDatacapture.getItem("/teaser/teaser").setOptions(option);
api.IWDatacapture.redraw();
</script>

But neither the "alert()" works, nor the select-box is populated Smiley Sad

Any ideas why not?

Thanks in advance,
LeSmou

In this .tpl we create following output:

Was that a typo? FormAPI goes in your DCT or in a referenced .js file, not your PT.

I'm wondering why you're trying to address the window as parent.getScript.Frame -- if you're using v6.x, referencing it as IWDatacapture.**** should be just fine.

Try alerting in several places, too, so you can see where the js is failing.

sorry, it's .ipl not .tpl

I'm assuming this is a cgi-callout from your dct? If you attach the actual dct and callout script in question, it would be easier for someone to help you.

LeSmou

yes, it's a CGI (i attached both files)

Hmmm, I just did some minor formatting of your script and it worked fine for me on the first try. Are you sure your script was compiling ok? You had some quotes that weren't escaped properly and looked like they could be causing you problems. I have attached my formatted version of your script.

Let us know if you are still having problems.

Thanks,
Jeff
