take from txt file

@vinsaFeb 14.2004

Hi,
first sorry for my english.
Can someone help me with this.
I use my page only offline
on my hard disk. I need javascript who
write (when the page load) in:
cell1 -> John
cell3 -> Smith
cell7 -> Frank
cell9 -> White
textarea t1 -> Dave
textarea t2 -> Jones

,and when I click over cell1 to copy John in
textarea t3. This script must take these names
from data.txt file.

@vinsaauthorFeb 15.2004 — #Thank you very much, it work.

Now I see, that you use

[COLOR=blue]selectlist.recordset.MoveNext();[/COLOR]

to take the names of every next row

and to show them in the table.

But if I want to skip some rows?

What I must to use then?

Example, I have ten rows and want

to show in cell1 and cell3 the names

in seventh row (Herrman;Brown).

Can you do that?

@FangFeb 15.2004 — #You have to iterate through the list and pick out the required record:

selectlist.recordset.MoveFirst();

for(var i=1; i<=selectlist.recordset.AbsolutePosition; i++) {

if(i==7) {SomeElementValue=selectlist.recordset("First");}

selectlist.recordset.MoveNext();

}

@vinsaauthorFeb 15.2004 — #HI Fang,

I don't understand how exactly I must to include the last in the script. Could you explane me?

I don't understand this technology very well and can't modify the script. Can you tell me from where can I find more info?

@FangFeb 15.2004 — #Place it in function InsertNames.

@vinsaauthorFeb 19.2004 — #Hi Fang,

can you change this script so as to select random name from text file? I try but I can't

@FangFeb 19.2004 — #Try:

function InsertNames() {
 var RandomName=Math.floor(Math.random() * selectlist.recordset.RecordCount);
 selectlist.recordset.MoveFirst();
 for(var i=1; i&lt;selectlist.recordset.RecordCount; i++) {
 if(i==RandomName) {
 document.getElementById('cell1').innerHTML=selectlist.recordset("First");
 document.getElementById('cell3').innerHTML=selectlist.recordset("Last");
 }
 selectlist.recordset.MoveNext();
 }
 }

@vinsaauthorFeb 19.2004 — #Thank you Fang ?) You are the best
