Populating a drop down list in a BIRT report

pricher

The attached example shows how to generate and populate an HTML drop down list in a BIRT report with values taken from a data set. The process consists of storing the values in an array and using JavaScript to add dynamically the values to the "select" item. To populate the array, I override the onCreate method in the detail row of a hidden table. Then, I use Text elements to write the JavaScript code.
