afternoon all! first post :)
right I have a large form for creating a query to search a database. One of the fields to search on is postcode. I am using a text box to enter the 2 byte postcodes (AB,ST,NN.... etc), all is fine with this.
BUT
The client wants a load of tick boxes incase the operator doesn't have a list of post codes available.
I get all the postcodes from the database (there are 125 postcode areas in the uk) and this all works fine.
What i want to do is have a link next to the text box detailed above to open a window and display all the 125 text boxes, then i tick the required boxes and click 'submit' this will then format the array of ticked boxes AND put the list in to my text field on the original page.
right I can do all of it just not together.
<script language="JavaScript">
function restart(){
document.eroll_form.post2.value = post2;
mywindow.close();
}
</script>
<form action="" method="post" name="eroll_form" id="eroll_form">
<input type="text" name="post2" value="">
POST 2 <a href="javascript:showPost2()">Show Post 2</a>
</form>
will open a new window
<script language="JavaScript">
function generateArray(){
<%
post_code = ""
post_code = Split(Request.form("postcode2"),",")
For intX = 0 to UBound(post_code)
post_code(intx) ="'"&trim(post_code(intx))&"'"
Next
postcode_array = Join(post_code,",")
%>
opener.post2 = postcode_array;
opener.restart();
self.close();
}
</script>

<form name="post_form">

<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="javascript:generateArray();"></td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
is my popup page, i'm not using the database to get my postcodes, just a sample of 3.
<%
post_code = ""
post_code = Split(Request.form("postcode2"),",")
For intX = 0 to UBound(post_code)
post_code(intx) ="'"&trim(post_code(intx))&"'"
Next
postcode_array = Join(post_code,",")
%>
is the part from my original asp page which gathered all the ticked boxes and formatted them into an array, this works in its original form but not when i put it into the script (i have removed the <% %> tags )
what i need to do is rewrite that bit so that it does the reformatting and thats where i'm stuck :)
help!
TIA
