Hello
I am trying to create some code that will allow me to create combo boxes programmatically. When a user selects something from a combo box I would like another one to appear and again when something is selected from the new combo box etc. I have found a way to make them appear visible when selected but this will not help as I do not know the maximum number of combo boxes I need.
Can anyone help me with this please? Thank you.

so statistically I should be ok![/QUOTE]Perhaps, but legally you might be in trouble. If this is for one or more business then you might be running afoul of accessibility laws - people with certain disabilities cannot use browsers with JavaScript. Do consult an accessibility lawyer in your area.
And it is only human decency to warn somebody that they might be unintentionally causing harm to somebody.

Laws differer from country to country but in the US that would be considered employment discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act if any company has 15 or more employees.[/QUOTE]
Well, as it turns out, it very plainly states that it applies *only* to the federal government.[/QUOTE]You must have read the wrond law or the law wrong. The ADA has three titles, one applies to governments, and there has been some litigation about that title's application to non-federal parts. But the other two titles, one applies the law to "public accomodation", which includes commerce, and the other to employment. Target is currently being sued for its inaccessible web site under the ADA.
And just why are you disturbed by my pointing out the possible down side to a particular way of doing things?[/QUOTE]
It's not me that is misreading things[/QUOTE]From the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Justice,
The title I employment provisions apply to private employers, State and local governments, employment agencies, and labor unions. Employers with 25 or more employees were covered as of July 26, 1992. Employers with 15 or more employees were covered two years later, beginning July 26, 1994.[/quote]
Title II of the ADA prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in all programs, activities, and services of public entities. It applies to all State and local governments, their departments and agencies, and any other instrumentalities or special purpose districts of State or local governments. It clarifies the requirements of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 for public transportation systems that receive Federal financial assistance, and extends coverage to all public entities that provide public transportation, whether or not they receive Federal financial assistance. It establishes detailed standards for the operation of public transit systems, including commuter and intercity rail (AMTRAK).[/quote]
A public accommodation is a private entity that owns, operates, leases, or leases to, a place of public accommodation. Places of public accommodation include a wide range of entities, such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, doctors' offices, pharmacies, retail stores, museums, libraries, parks, private schools, and day care centers. Private clubs and religious organizations are exempt from the ADA's title III requirements for public accommodations.[/quote]

phpnovice,
Adding fuel to the fire does not help either![/QUOTE]
I get the error message: Object doesn't support this propert or message
For this line: var sel = document.CreateElement("SELECT");
Do you know why this is please?[/QUOTE]
You are so far off the mark and reaching so far afield in a futile attempt to justify your indecent actions that it isn't even funny. Teaching someone JavaScript is in no way illegal and absolutely violates no laws. As I have already stated, a simple heads-up is all that is decently required in order to absolve yourself of any responsibility for what someone else does with the information you impart.You’re at the pistol range and somebody has asked you to show her how to shoot. Naturally, you start with the preliminary safety instructions. Now, imagine that some guy nearby overhears and starts to berate you - you’re supposed to be teaching her how to shoot, not how to handle a gun safely. If she had wanted a safety course she could have signed up for one. You would think that this guy was a dangerous idiot and hope that the management would evict him. Safety is, after all, integral to everything that you do with a gun – or any other tool that might cause harm.
And, they have a criminal term for those that feel the need to threaten others. ?[/QUOTE]
Thanks to an anonymous user and this pageDo be careful with Microsoft documentation - it can be a little Microsoft specific. That link that I posted above,http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/createelement.asp [/QUOTE]
What is it about accessibility that so enrages some people?[/QUOTE]
