HTMLHelp Forums _ Client-side Scripting _ Combo-Box Viewer: remember selection

Posted by: vslflvr Mar 23 2009, 09:07 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to merge multiple instances of the Combo-Box Viewer (http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/comboviewer.htm with help from http://forums.htmlhelp.com/index.php?showtopic=8224) with a cookie script that remembers the user's selections after reload and browser restart (http://javascript.internet.com/forms/cookie-form-saver.html).

The problem is that the cookie script only remembers the state of the drop downs and not the actual content of the different combo box viewers.
I've tried a lot of different "tweaks" but without any luck.

All inputs appreciated!

Thanks.

The script at javascript.internet.com states it only works on dropdowns and textboxes

QUOTE

// It works on text fields and dropdowns in IE 5+
// It only works on text fields in Netscape 4

And they only talk about Netscape (4, sic!), MSIE and Opera.

You might be able to adapt the cookie part of the script from javascriptkit.com's http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/richhtmlticker.shtml.

Thanks for your input.

I know it's and old script (http://javascript.internet.com/forms/cookie-form-saver.html) but I've been searching for so long and it was the most usable I could find.

I've had a look at the Rich HTML Ticker but unfortunately I have not been able to figure out how to do what I want. (Did get a little more knowledge on cookies though)

If by any chance you (or someone else) can point at something more specific I will be very grateful.

Thanks again!
