form swapper

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 30.2005

I am using the javscript form swapper at
[url]http://javascript.internet.com/forms/form-swapper-2.html[/url]

when I try to access the list2 using asp(after submitting the form) it appears blank.

Does anyone know how I can get the values of the form?

@BigMoosieMay 30.2005 — I made a better one than that: http://www.random.abrahamjoffe.com.au/

It is better as it greys out the buttons that are not available and also it keeps the lists selected after clicking them. Let me know if this one works.

@estheraauthorMay 30.2005 — okay - I just switched to yours but I have the same problem.

response.write "list2:" & request("list2")

@BigMoosieMay 30.2005 — I dont do asp but I may be able to help you. The form will send only the selected items, so just before submitting you will need to select each item in the lists. Do you know how to do that?

@estheraauthorMay 30.2005 — that solved the problem -- BUT is there anyway for the entries in list2 to be automatically selected. I dont' want it to be that way for the user.

@BigMoosieMay 30.2005 — Oh of course I did not mean that! ? It would be a huge inconvenience for the user, what you need to do is replace the code at the bottom of the page with this:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
var addButton=document.forms.handle.addItem;
var removeButton=document.forms.handle.removeItem;

document.forms.handle.onsubmit=function(){
for (var i=0; i<document.forms.handle.list2.options.length; i++) document.forms.handle.list2.options[i].selected=true;
return true;
}
</SCRIPT>

@estheraauthorMay 30.2005 — that didn't help --- do I need to call it from the form tag??

@BigMoosieMay 30.2005 — It should do it, perhaps you were not implementing it correctly, here is the modified version, the first four variables you should modify:
