I want to populate 'Location' dropdown, if 'Region' dropdown item changes

SreenivasReddy

Hi Friends,

Region Item:



Asia



Location (dropdown) Item: It should populate depending on the 'Region' selection)

I'm using formAPI: ('onItemChange') for 'Region' item and making server call as below:

IWDatacapture.callServer("http://"+server+"/iw-bin/fetchLocations.cgi", params);

I'm passing the 'Region' value as a parameter (params) to the cgi file.

If the paramter value is "Asia" then I'm opening 'asia.properties' file to fetch locations from the property file as below:

if($region eq "Asia"){
$file = "asia_locations.properties";
open(FILE, "<$file");
@locationsList = ;
close (FILE);
my $isDefaultSelected = "false";
$locationOptions .= "locations[" . $i++ . "] = new Option('$locations
{$region}{$k}','$k', $isDefaultSelected, $isDefaultSelected);\n";
}

And finally:

print <


<script language="javascript">
var locations = new Array();
// Set up the options object for a locations.
$locationOptions
</script>







EOT

exit;

But it is not populating the 'Locations' dropdown. Any help is appriciated!!!

Thanks in advance..
