Populating a Drop down menu JSP form

How to go about populating a drop-down form from Oracle Database using JSP?
I have the connecting to the Oracle Database running. I also can query forms, but i can't create a drop-down menu form.

Start the dropdown box with the regular select tags "<select name=this>"
Then open a JSP block and get a resutlset, loop through the resultset and and put the values from the resutlset into the <option> tags for the HTML.
Example
out.println("<option value=\"" + rs.getString(1) + "\">" + rs.getString(1) + ">");
Then close the loop and that should populate a dropdown within the html form.

Is it possible to create a drop down menu using form fields rather than text?

Is it possible to create a drop down menu using form fields rather than text?

Yes, correct - values of form fields. If one is blank, then the field would be blank - yes? If two or more have the same value that is fine.
A standard dropdown ... As shown here. If there is an easier way to do this, I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

Populating a Drop-Down Menu via xml in php

I am new at programming. I am looking for a way to link a drop menu to 3 drop down menus dynamically. In other words, the 3 ddm's will have the same options according to the value selected in first ddm. Can someone provide a tutorial for this? Also, i am using php to pull the data for those ddm's from xml file.
Thank You

php is server side... so you want user to choose option from dd menu #1, reload the page to populate dd menu #2 (process on server via php), choose option from dd menu #2, reload the page again to populate dd menu #3 (process on server via php), then finally choose option from dd menu #3 and then after reloading the page three times already (once for initial load and two more time for each subsequent server process) load the page for a fourth time to process the entire form entry? Whoa daddy... that's a lot of page loads.
Just want to be clear of your desire. I don't think you'll find many tutorials for the mentioned method. There are many, many three tier drop down menus in javascript that provide client side processing without page reload.

Looping through collection of symbols and populating a drop down on a form EXTENDSCRIPT

Hello everyone-
I got a question. Would it be possible to run a script that would loop through a collection of symbols in a defined library and populate a drop down with the available symbols. My goal is to be able to open Illustrator, and when I run the script the dropdown is populated with all available symbols(text is fine) in a defined library that I can then select and place on the artboard. Any help would be appreciated.

yep Ajax is d right way 2 do so.
So can use DWR(ajax tech.) for dis/
To implement dis dere r simple steps u hav 2 follow
1. entry for <dwr> tag in web.xml
2. entry for <onverter>in web.xml
3. In jsp u write
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=appName%>/dwr/engine.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=appName%>/dwr/util.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"src="<%=appName%>/dwr/interface/ClassService.js"></script>
were ClassService is ur class whose method u want 2 call.
4.
In jsp under <script> u can simply write
ClassService.Methodname(param1,param2,....,CallBackFunction);
5.CallBackFunction(data)
/// do wt u want

Reading from HTML Drop-Down Menu into JSP

Hi folks. I'm am just delving into JSP, and I have a very basic question. I've been looking around the internet for a good tutorial on how to read HTML form input data into my JSP page. I really haven't found anything, and was hoping that you could provide me with some good resources. I want to have just a basic HTML drop-down menu with a SQL query executed based on the menu selection. The selection from the drop-down menu should go into the SQL query where "Shawnee" currently is. Here is my JSP code:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252" import="java.sql.*"%>
<%
try
     Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://khrcs4:1433/Mail_List;user=xxxx;password=xxxx");
     System.out.println("success");
     Statement st = con.createStatement();
     ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select * from contacts where class like '%First Time Home Buyer Lenders%' and served like '%Shawnee%' order by company");
     while(rs.next())
          out.println(rs.getString(3)+"<br>"); //company
          out.println(rs.getString(12)+"<br>"); //address
          //out.println(rs.getString(13)+"<br>"); //address2
          out.println(rs.getString(8)+", "+rs.getString(9)+" "+rs.getString(14)+"<br>"); //city, state zip
          out.println(rs.getString(7)+"<br><br>"); //phone
catch (Exception ex)
     ex.printStackTrace();
%>

ArrayList recList = new ArrayList();
while(rs.next())
     recList.add(rs.getString(3));
put the recList in the session.
session.setAttribute("allrecords",recList);
Then in your jsp, get the recList from the session and loop it,
ArrayList recList = (ArrayList)session.getAttribute("allrecords");
for (var i=0; i < recList.size();++i){
     addOption(document.getElementById("drop-down box name"), valarray, valarray[i]);
function addOption(selectbox,text,value)
     var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");
     optn.text = trim(text);
     optn.value = trim(value);
     selectbox.options.add(optn);

How do I get the VISA resource drop down menu to be auto populated in my stand alone application (exe file)?

Hi all,
Here's a hopefully simple question.
I am building an application (i.e. an exe file) from a simple program which use VISA to read and write to a RS-232 com port. When I run it before building the application everything works fine and the VISA resource control, which is a drop down menu, is automatically populated with available com ports. When I run the application on a computer without LabVIEW installed nothing appears in this window. I have made an installer which includes NI LabVIEW Rutime Engine 8.5, NI Measurement & Automation Explorer 4.3 and NI-DAQmx 8.6.1. Is there anything else I need to include? Any specific settings I need to do when I build the exe-file?
I use LabVIEW 8.5.
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

DAQmx is only for NI DAQ cards so I'm not sure why you installed that. The driver for VISA applications is NI-VISA (surprise!)
Add the NI-VISA run-time to your installer.

Adobe Form... Is there a way to use a drop down menu to highlight or note other fields...

I am working on a simple Adobe form. I am currently trying to figure out if there is a way to use the answers of a drop down menu to either mark, note or highlight 14 other fields. There are 9 possibilities in the drop down menu, include a blank and NONE.
For example if the drop down menu is set to 1, then field 9, 10 and 14 are marked, noted or highlighted.
Is this possible with a script?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Have you looked at the properties that are available to form fields. I would look at setting the fill color or border color for a form field. Either of these can be done with Acrobat JavaScript.

Form2mail how do I set up the form to sent to a recipient selected from a drop-down menu?

I am trying to configure dreamweaver form2mail to be able to send the information submitted to individual employees. I would like the form to be set up where as you choose the recipient form a drop down menu and the only that recipient would receive the information collected on the form. I can't seem to find any information on this. I can only find info on sending to multiple recipients at the same time. I only want the recipient that is selected to receive the form information.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a low cost or FREE form to mail system.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Jim, That is exactly what I need. I'm using Form2Mail the Dreamweaver extension for Adobe Dreamweaver. It only gives me the option to send to one email address or cc to multiple not individual sends.

Acrobat Forms - Make fillable text box appear after box checked or drop down menu item selected

I have been asked to build an approvals form for my workplace however the approval processes vary considerably depending on the subject. I have been asked to create a list of topics in the form of check boxes or a drop down menu which will then populate a list of text boxes with differing approval authorities and corresponding spaces for signatures. i.e. if 'Topic 1' is selected a list of names and signature spaces will appear, however if 'Topic 2' is selected a different list of names and signature spaces will appear instead.
In order to achieve this I think I only need to find out how to link check boxes or drop down menu items to the appearance of different text boxes.
I should also add that I am a beginner with this stuff.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Remove the red coloured part
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible {
left: auto;
top:0;
or start again with the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css and follow the rules as in http://www.dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one.
Either way will get you back on track.
Good luck.
Ben

Email form script with custom text field and drop-down menu?

Hey, I'm building a website in iWeb - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19707357/Website/craftpackage.html
And I was looking for a script that could possibly send an email to me with the info a user chooses from/puts in 1. dropdown menu 2. text field 3. another text field. I'd be awesome if the fields could have a custom background or a transparent background.The drop-down menu could have any background, but it would be awesome if it could be made with custom images !

Basic question.
What have you yourself done to find out?
Nothing?
Start here :
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+a+mail+form
http://www.google.com/search?q=dropdown+menu+with+transparent+background
Unfortunately, it has no dropdown menu :
http://www.wyodor.net/blog/archives/2010/01/entry_301.html
Btw, dropdown menus in forms at select menus. These are not the same.
http://www.google.com/search?q=select+menu+form
http://http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp
So start practicing and once everything works the way it should, display it in a html snippet.

Form popping up certain information once selection is chosen in drop down menu.

Is if possible that I could have a drop down menu and once a selection is made it displays a "set information section" with pictures and logo's etc. pop's up according to that selection?

Hi,
Yes it is possible. you would put the respective groupings of pictures and logos in separate subforms. The subforms can be stacked one above the other and their presence set to hidden.
Then in the exit event of the dropdown you would have either an if statement or a switch statement to change the presence:
if (this.rawValue == "My Company")
     myCompanyLogo.presence = "visible";
     yourCompanyLogo.presence = "hidden";
else if (this.rawValue == "Your Company")
     myCompanyLogo.presence = "hidden";
     yourCompanyLogo.presence = "visible";
else
     myCompanyLogo.presence = "hidden";
     yourCompanyLogo.presence = "hidden";
Basically you are setting up white space in the form and then showing the appropriate logo/picture. Here is an example of dropdowns doing different things: https://acrobat.com/#d=jD3k1sL7PGcTo6CHHTiEOA
There is another way. You can have the logos and pictures in the form as 'image' objects that are hidden and then have an 'imagefield' object in the white space. Then the dropdown script would set the rawValue of the 'imagefield' to match the appropriate hidden 'image' object. An example is here: https://acrobat.com/#d=BI-C*vM-cryysNXA9Hpt5A
Hope that helps,
Niall
