popup to populate drop down menu for form

I have a form with many selections on it. Next to that
I have buttons that will trigger a popup window. In
that window there are color choices that should be
clickable to populate the choice from the drop down
list.

Can anyone help me with this?

@plastic_chaiauthorJun 28.2003 — Hi Khalid,

Thanks! I knew it was a parent/child issue. What I have in my popup menu is a series of pictures that need to be clickable to populate the name of that pic in the drop down menu.

I need to figure out how to do this with 6 pop ups. I have to demonstrate 6 categories with each having a unique window with those clickable windows.

I'll ask you, since I am a novice, would there be much configuring with ridding the push button on the example you showed me and doing this with pics? And do you know of any issues surrounding having the 6 unique windows I just spoke of?

Here's an image of what I am trying to do.

@Khalid_AliJun 28.2003 — no if you look at the source codes you only need to call the underlying functions in the buttons html's onclick event to and yes you can have several unique windows and communicate with them.

I am working on this popup portion of my project. I have been thinking over the issue and how to execute it and I have a questions for you.

  • 1. should I treat each color choice as a input button? And if so how do I pass the value of the button to the drop down?


  • There is a pic attached to this reply. I want the pics to be clickable to populate the drop down.
