hi all,
I'm beginning to think about a thing i need to implement in my web page.
i have asked a lot of question in the past days, and now it's the end of
my work, after this thing i must add.

i think that it will be really easier if i show you the page :

it's a query wizard where people select conditions to create their own SQL
queries.
as you can see on the page, when you add a condition it appears in a list
where you can remove it if you want. now I'd like to add a functionality :
want I'd like is (first part only : Select your conditions) : when a user
click on one of the conditions in the list, the 3 boxes upon the list will
show the value that where selected to create the condition, and the user
will be able to update this condition, in stead of 1: deleting it 2:
creating a new one.

i don't really know how to do.

Showing the values that where selected for the conditions, i think it's
not the harder and will be able to do this. the harder is after : how to
update it ?

i do have all my conditions in an array ( storeQuery[number]= new
Array(cond,document.forms[0].operation[document.forms[0].operation.selectedIndex].value,document.forms[0].value.value,
logical, document.forms[0].condition.selectedIndex,
document.forms[0].operation.selectedIndex) )

i thought i could add to this array the number of the index of each select
box selected to create and with an onclick event call a function that
retrieves those values and set them back to the select boxes.
then how could i know if i must add or update the values in my array ?
any suggestions will be appreciated, i want to that i don't expect you to
give me the whole answer (of course), just a beginning of solution would
be already perfect, then i would be able to work on my own.

ho, just to situate the goal of this web page, that's the first part,
their will be after, behind, a servlet under a websphere IBM server that
will do the rest. i just need help for javascript, as JS is a language
well done but if you don't know how things works, you can't guess them.

sorry for my coarse English,
regards,

ps: it's my first JS app so please be comprehensive
 
I would just make sure that you don't have anything in the select box selected programatically. Whenever an option is selected, and they start changing values with the query builder, you should update that option, by accessing it via the options array.. jared@eae.net -
