List box in prompt box

hosefo81 · December 7th, 2003, 12:20 AM

I successfully pop up a prompt box if the user clicked the selected radio button
and display the entered data in the text box.
I would like to know can i make the prompt box to have list box?
I want the prompt box to let user select a value rather than typing it in the prompt box. Is this possible?

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript">
function funct1()
{
    var name = prompt("Please enter productID", "");
    if ((name != null) && (name != ""))
    {
        document.form1.text1.value = name;
    }
}
</script>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<form name="form1">
<input type="radio" name="radio1" value="one" >one
<input type="radio" name="radio1" value="two" onclick="funct1()">two
<input type="radio" name="radio1" value="three" onclick="funct1()">three

<input type="text" name="text1" value="name">
</form1>
</BODY>
</HTML>

No, not directly. The only two options you have are the alert box and the prompt / input box.

What you could do is open a new browser Window using JavaScript (window.open). The new window should be sized s it looks like an input dialog. (You won't be able to resize it to anything smaller than 100 x 100 due to security restrictions). Then you can return a value from that new window, or use some JavaScript to add the selected value to the parent form.

Does that make sense?

Or have a div that is normally hidden appear when they choose the radio button. It will be quicker and less resource hungry than opening a fresh window.
