Hi Lir,
after such a mass of response it took me some time to catch up ;o)
Ok here is what I think:
You are returning the HTML- Tags from your Script urging Ajax.Updater
to add it to your webpage, right?
Did you try to return some JSON or XML data using Ajax.Request and
create the options by Javascript ??
I think I had a similar problem like you a while ago and solved it that way ..
If you are using prototype you might find the following useful:
<-- snip -->
// var select is the DOM- object of the select- field to be modified
// var data is normaly returned from the response script. here it is
created by hand to show the structure
var data = new Array();
data.push({optText:'Red', optValue:'red'}, {optText:'Yellow',
optValue:'yel'},
{optText:'Green', optValue:'gre'});
// add the new options
data.each ( function (item){
var option = new Option(item.optText ,
item.optValue);
select.options[select.length] = option; // add
an
option to the end of the current selection list
}
);
<-- snip -->
I use this to create a set of selection field depending on each other.
hope this helps after all
lg
