DropDown List Problem : file system

[Ramesh Sunkara]

Hi..

1) I have a Drop Down List in my JSP page. [ Here, I select the file name. I populated this list from a text file in which I stored a list of file names]

2) I have another drop-down list whose contents are to be retrieved from the file which i selected in the above list.


Can Any one please Help Me.

Thanks,
Ramesh S

Use Java File I/O. Where's your code? What problems are you having with it?

[Ramesh Sunkara]

Since the value which i selected from Drop Down List is an JavaScript variable , i can't use it in the JSP code. [ I need that variable name to open that particular file ]

[Bear Bibeault]

Sounds like a good use case for Ajax. Upon changing the dropdown, issue an Ajax request a servlet that fetches and returns the file contents (perhaps with the help of a JSP to do formatting).

kindly use the collection property of combo box to carry forward your list and can you be more specific with your flow?

Please use correct terminology. There is no "combo box" in HTML. Please read: HtmlHasNoComboBox
