ok, so u do a search using one or more of the options and submit create list compiles and displays the list..

BUT im using this code to show the search criteria that the user just used:

function addVars() {
var f = window.document.listings;
if (pageVars==0) {
f.package.options[f.package.selectedIndex].value=package;
f.package.options[f.package.selectedIndex].text=package;
f.zone.options[f.zone.selectedIndex].value=zone;
f.zone.options[f.zone.selectedIndex].text=zone;
f.doctype.options[f.doctype.selectedIndex].value=doctype;
f.doctype.options[f.doctype.selectedIndex].text=doctype;
}
}

thanks

Loop through the options of the three selectboxes until the value of the option equals the value stored in the variables: package, zone and doctype. then set the selected property of that option to true

you don't want to change the value and text properties
you only want to select the previous criteria.


function addVars() {
var f = window.document.listings;
if (pageVars==0) {
selectOption(f.package,package);
selectOption(f.zone,zone);
selectOption(f.doctype,doctype);

}
}

function selectOption(objSelect,item){
for (var i=0;i<objSelect.options.length;i++){
if (objSelect.options[i].value==item){
objSelect.selectedIndex = i;
break;
}
}
}
