I'm trying to write a function that will take a selected item from a drop down list and add it to an array, which is then printed in a text field on the page, but I'm having trouble referencing the value.
Here's my function:
Code:
function addTool() {
if (document.forms[0].toolList.value == "")
window.alert("You must choose at least one item to purchase.");
else {
var dd1 = document.getElementById('toolList');
var toolArray = new Array();
var count = 0;
toolArray.push(dd1.options[dd1.selectedIndex].text);
document.forms[0].buyList.options[count].value = toolArray[count];
count++;
}
}
And the code which tries to use it:
Code:
<select name="toolList">
<option value="" style="display:none;"></option>
<option value="cDrill">Cordless Drill</option>
<option value="cScrew">Cordless Screwdriver</option>
<option value="circSaw">Circular Saw</option>
<option value="bandsaw">Bandsaw </option>
<option value="discsander">Disc Sander</option>
</select></p>
<p><select name = "buyList" multiple = "multiple"
size = "10" style = "width: 500px">
<option value = "none">Items to be purchased</option>
</select></p>
<p><input type = "button" value = "Add Tool"
onclick = "addTool();" style = "width: 120px" />
Right now I have no idea if I'm even close to having this correct. What would be the best way to do this?
