Automatically Add To An Array

[abitaquest]

Hi. I need to collect data from several different drop-downs, then combine the results into a single array in my data table. How would I do that?

 

Example:

If I collect 5 as the value for dropdown_1, and 3 for the value of dropdown_2, and 4 for the value of dropdown_3, I would need to be able to use that to create an array in another field (dropdown_values) such as:  5, 3, 4

 

I'm guessing this is a javascript thing. Any idea how to do that?

 

Thanks for any help.

Hello abitaquest,

 

As far as I know, there is an article how Concatenate/Combine two fields into one field.

In your case, if I understand correctly, dropdowns will be dynamic fields.

I have edited the script:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">



function concatenate()

{

   var elems = document.getElementsByTagName("*");

   for (var i=0, m=elems.length; i<m; i++) 

      {

         if (elems[i].id && elems[i].id.indexOf("InsertRecorddropdown_1") != -1) 

            {

                var position1 = elems[i].value;

            } 

      }


   var elems = document.getElementsByTagName("*");

   for (var i=0, m=elems.length; i<m; i++) 

      {

         if (elems[i].id && elems[i].id.indexOf("InsertRecorddropdown_2") != -1) 

            {

               var position2 = elems[i].value;

            }

      }


   var allpositions = position1 + ", " + position2;

   document.getElementById("InsertRecorddropdown_values").value = allpositions;

}


document.getElementById("caspioform").onsubmit=concatenate;

</SCRIPT>

I hope it helps.
