Would anyone be interested in looking at some code for me I have an array problem that is not doing what I want it to do..?
All the below code works but the default text for each box is [select] and the last box only ever has one item in it, It is different every time but still the same it only ever has one item in it..All I want is for the [SELECT] not to appear on the last box and the 1 item to be the default every time..if this means [SELECT] doesnt appear anywhere else then that is fine..
I can get rid of [SELECT] but I cannot make the one item be default,The reason for this is that I want to hide the box and use the info for a database

I'd advise you to reduce the array down to 5 elements and try and solve this one. It will make the code much easier to see then if it works add more elements

The code works now I dont really need to shorten it I just need to display the item instead of [SELECT]

This is in the java at the bottom and shouldnt be affected by the lenght of the array should it?

Replace this line:

controlToPopulate.add(myEle) ;

with this:

if(control.name!=&quot;secondChoice&quot;) controlToPopulate.add(myEle) ;

That should work.

You could also save a lot of space and download time by placing all your array items in a comma delimited string and write them to the array with the code below:

myStr=&quot;sdsa,dads,fdfd,gfgfg,hhgh,ghf&quot;;
myArray = new Array();
myArray = myStr.split(&quot;,&quot;);

Hope that helps


ASCII silly question, get a silly ANSI
