Inserting Multiple NAmes (Like Hotmail Address book)

Hi...

Does anybody know if its possible in dreamweaver ultradev4 to create a pop-up box where i can select multiple names which can then be added to another field on a sepearte page. This popup page needs to be dynamic as new users are added to the database daily. Basically its the way that hotmail handles the address book. The user clicks a button to view the address book, they select the people they want to send it to, then click ok & all of those names appear in the 'to' box.


Thanks

I don't know if DW has "wizards" to help with part of it, but the necessary steps are relatively simple taken one at a time, if you do things patiently:

• You need to call a pop up window (using Javascript) which calls an ASP page;
  The ASP page loads a Select with the Multiple parameter form Control (simple HTML stuff) and populates the various <option>s from the DB query;
  The submit button of the Form in the PopUp inserts the value into the correct Form TextArea of the original calling page using Javascript again.

Once it is broken down in pieces, each should be easier to handle.

u can use asp and javascript together
for example in form1 u call a pop up window

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function popUp() {
window.open('CCList.asp','WinC','width=350,height=300,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable= no, addressbar=no');
window.refresh();
}
</script>

then in your pop up just add this script(you'll have to modify it)

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function setParentValue(){
var allvalues="";
var obj=document.all.listboxname
for(i=0;i<obj.options.length;i++)
if(obj.options[i].selected)
allvalues+=obj.options[i].value+","
allvalues = allvalues.slice(0,allvalues.length-2);
allvalues = allvalues.replace(/\s/g, "");
window.opener.addform.myTextBox.value =allvalues
window.close();
}
</script>

hope it helps

window.opener.addform.myTextBox.value

The line above does it refer to textbox in the mainpage or the popout window?

testbox in the mainpage

oops.. keke i meant the *textbox*
