populating drop-down boxes

[jen franzke]

I need to populate a drop-down list in a form with a list of Country Codes that can be obtained by calling CountryCode.getCountryCodes(), which returns a List. I am trying to use a JavaScript function to do this, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have included the code below. I am still new to JS, so please be kind.

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
import jblocks.data.CountryCode;
function loadCountryCodes() {
countryCodes = new Array(CountryCode.getCountryCodes().size());

for (i = 0; i < countryCodes.length; i++) {
countryCodes[i] = CountryCode.getCountryCodes().get(i);
}

document.Table2FORM.nationality.options = countryCodes;
}
</script>
...and right before the <form> tag...
<script language="JavaScript1.2">loadCountryCodes();</script>

Any help that can be offered would be much appreciated!

look at this and see if it helps you out any

It shows you how to add the information to the select element.

Is this client-side or server-side JavaScript?

client-side (?). It is in the head of a .jsp file.

Then can u pls explain this
import jblocks.data.CountryCode;
r u populating the second drop down box frm a query frm db or u have the data upfront?

[jen franzke]

jblocks.data.CountryCode is the class where the data resides. CountryCode.getCountryCodes returns a List of CountryCodes. So the data is in a class, not in a database.

<form>
<select name=nationality>
<%for (int i = 0; i < countryCodes.length; i++) {%>
<option value="<%=CountryCode.getCountryCodes().get(i)%>"><%=CountryCode.getCountryCodes().get(i)%></option>
<%}%>
</select>
</form>
