DHTML popup to populate textfields

[canajun]

I have searched for something as simple as this, but with no luck.

I have a space constrained form, with several textfields that I want to populate with a DHTML popup..

I don't want the popup to open a new window, but show up on the form page..

This is to replace list boxes that take up too much realestate on the page.

Any help would be appreciated!

You can try to use Javascript and hide and unhide an absolutely positioned Div that contains whatever you need.

You can even have a list box in that div or make it scrollable if you need more space.

function myunhide(){
if(document.getElementById("popupdiv").style.display == "none" || document.getElementById("popupdiv").style.display == "" ) {

document.getElementById("popupdiv").style.display = "block";

  }

  else {

    document.getElementById("popupdiv").style.display = "none";

  }

}

and in your HTML you would have a div that contains everything you need

<div id="popupdiv" style="display:none;">
[green]Insert all your stuff here[/green]
</div>

Of course for more specifics you'll need to ask this in the Js forum here:
