I am basically designing an application where a user may want to edit a feild, but say the field can ONLY have certain values, best way to make them chose is have a combo box, but is it possible in a Javascript intput dialog to have a combo box.<br><br>(but since the targeted audience is the employees of the company itself, and we all use IE, using VbScript might be an option if its possible in VBscript, but not Javascript) <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML, ASP(somewhat), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
 
it is not possible (as far as I know) to do it in javascript. You may want to look at:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;window.showModalDialog()<br><br>this created an alert-like box with an HTML page in it
 
Hmm thanks. I wonder if its the same in VBscript. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML, ASP(somewhat), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
 
I agree with jaredn, use a modal window. <p>theEclipse<br><a href=mailto:eclipse_web@hotmail.com>eclipse_web@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=robacarp.webjump.com>robacarp.webjump.com</a><br>**-Trying to build a documentation of a Javascript DOM, crossbrowser, of course. E-mail me if you know of any little known events and/or methods, etc.
 
in the Javascript forum, I copied the show modal thing, even tho its for IE that just perfect since my compnay only uses IE. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML, ASP(somewhat), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
