Hi, I made a page with two drop boxes in, with the aim of repeating a lot of times. I set it up so that instead of repeating the options for each box they would be filled in when the page was loaded. The two boxes worked fine with that and a number of other functions they performed but now I've come to duplicate them and I've hit a problem. I have named each drop down box consecutively (sp?) and have a while loop to fill them but its not working. Please see the code below: function load(){ var i = 0; while (i <= 10) { var selcat = ("category" + i); var selpri = ("price" + i); var selnam = ("name" + i); document.order.selpri.value = ""; document.order.selcat[0] = new Option("Please select...", "cat", true); document.order.selcat[1] = new Option("Accessories", "acc", false); document.order.selcat[2] = new Option("Bolted Silo", "bol", false); document.order.selcat[3] = new Option("Welded Silo", "wel", false); document.order.selcat[4] = new Option("Horizontal Silo", "hor", false); document.order.selnam[0] = new Option("Please select a category...", "cat", false); i++; } } Am I being really silly and missing something obvious? I tried using getElementById but that didn't work, I'm thinking because technically its not the id. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Hi, I have some shopping basket code which works in that the item gets added to the shopping basket, but the information (name, price etc) isn't carried over.I've only recently started learning php so am not sure why it doesn't work properly and would really appreciate it if someone could take a look and let me know where I am going wrong.

Hi,I'm using floats to make some images I have lie in line with the text.

Ok, just to let you know I've finally got it working perfectly!Apparently it worked as long as there was nothing in enquiry. If there was it would overwrite all the falses generated before.I've reworked the logic a bit and it did the trick!Yay

The validation always worked, it would come up with the errors but then continue to send it, which obviously I don't want. I've now got it backed up with PHP validating as I'm using PHP to send it anyway.However I would still like the javascript stopping it if the entries don't validate. I can't see anything which should mean its sending when it shouldn't be.

Eep, arguing on my thread!And its still not stopping it *Goes off to look at PHP validation*

Its still sending it

Hi,www.gecofabrications.co.uk/contact.html is as you can see a contact form. This is validated using javascript and that works ok, however even when the form validation fails the form still gets sent!Anyone know why?Any help much appreciated!Flic

Hi,I'm trying to position something on the bottom right corner of my page using CSS. I'm using the following code to do that but it hasn't come out how I wanted. #bottom {position: absolute;bottom: 0px; right: 0px;width: 500px; height: 30px;background-color: #D5DCFF;border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #000000;} It does position it on the bottom right perfectly, until the content runs longer than the page, the div doesn't move to accommodate it. I've tried relative positioning but that was worse.Any pointers to make this work would be much appreciated!Thank you

Thats right. The style should affect a form that I have on the same page. Any idea how to fix it? I'm out of ideas right now!

This is probably going to be one of those silly little things, but if it is could someone point it out as for the life of me I can't see it!I have the following code, part of it works part of it doesn't: function changeColour() {var selection = (document.select.colour.selectedIndex);var picture = ((document.select.colour.options[selection].value) + ".jpg");var text = ((document.select.colour.options[selection].value) + "Text");document.colour.src = picture;document.text.style.display = "";} The picture section of it works fine, however the style bit doesn't, I get "document.text has no properties", I know what it is telling me but I don't know why it is telling me that.The code works if I substitute in the name but obviously I don't want to do that!Any help appreciated!

I have found before that images wouldn't show because the compression for the jpg was only at 1, might not be it but then might be something to check.

Thank you Scott! I normally check things like closing brackets by doing replace all on them, but I was too tired and just did it visually and of course I didn't see the one at the end of the line as it was off screen!To clarify, by calling the form in the method I can call them all the same thing and it will still work?

Ok, this should be simple enough but IE says there is a problem with it on the select statement line of the form and I can't see anything wrong which is rather annoying. This is almost working fully now with one item and I'll expand it when its working fully. The jist of what I am trying to do is to bring up an alert box if a particular option is chosen, I will add to this so that it only happens once per page, one step at a time! <html><head><script type="text/javascript">function open_win(){window.open("../colours/colours.html", "Colours", 'width=300, height=350')}function colourCheck(){var selection = document.add.os0.selectedIndex;if (selection == 5) {alert("You have specified other colours, please check the colour chart and specify colours at checkout. Thank you.")}}}</script></head><body><table width=100% border=0><tr><td width=250><img src="../necklaces/blueFlower.jpg" alt=Blue Flower necklace></td><td>Description will go here</td><td width=200 align=center><p><a href="javascript:open_win()">Colour combinations</a></p><p><b>£9.99</b></p><form name="add" target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><p><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Colour"><select name="os0" onchange="colourCheck()"><option value="Jet and Black Diamond">Black / Grey</option><option value="Capri and Aquamarine">Blue / Light Blue</option><option value="Amethyst and Light Amethyst">Purple / Light Purple</option><option value="Light Siam and FireOpal">Red / Orange</option><option value="Garnet and Light Rose">Dark Red / Pink</option><option value="Other colours (please specify)">Other colours</option></select></p><p><input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"><input type="hidden" name="business" value="email"><input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Two strand flower necklace"><input type="hidden" name="amount" value="9.99"><input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2"><input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP"><input type="hidden" name="lc" value="GB"><input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF"><input type=submit value="Add to basket"></p></td></tr></form></body></html> Also a quick note, if I have multiple forms on a page can I call them the same thing? It'll be performing the same function and it'll save me duplicating methods for the different forms.Thank you!

Apparently because i did the picture so quickly, it was just a square of the relevant colour, the compression of the jpg made it mess up, it was on 1 and now its on 10 its working fine.I thought i was going crazy! I couldn't even get a simple link to the picture to work!All sane again now! Thank you!
