HTML Area: PeopleSoft

Question

I would like to select the Recruiting locations from a a HTML area populated from a table. I need to use these populated values as the search critera to search for a Job Opening
(Something similar to this:https://careers.verizonwireless.com/psp/erphrprd/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_CE.GBL). In this link the locations and job families are populated to a HTML area.
I am currently able to populate the values similar to the link but unable to code the logic to select the locations/job families from that HTML area. Is there a HTML code involved in this?
This somehow is not similar to a check box where the flag is Y or N or like a drop down where you select the translate value from that feild.
Advantage of using a HTML area is you can select multiple values at a time but I need someone's help to code logic on selected values(I know I have to place this values in an Array but what do I equate the array to i.e what input???).

Answer 1

The JavaScript and HTML required to replicate that page's behavior is available on-line. Just use your browser's view source feature to view the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. From the HTML, you can see that this page contains several HTML Areas. Some HTML Areas define the JavaScript used to process the mutliple options and others define the HTML used to create the multi-select input boxex. What you can't see from the HTML is the PeopleCode that was used to build the option elements or the PeopleCode that was used to process the comma delimited list of selected values. You will need to use your own imagination to add these features. I would build the option list in a RowInit event. PeopleCode has a split function, so parsing a comma delimited list is trivial.
