below is what i've worked out so far, just not sure how the next step needs
to be done.
i'm building a dropdown list ($dropdown) consisting of a number of options
($dropdown_value); once a value is selected i want to immediately create and
display a form consisting of data relevant to that $dropdown_value ("Camps"
will show certain data, "Electives" will show different data, etc.).
my question is: how do i exit from the javascript function ("alert" will be
replaced with the appropriate functionality) back to perl to call "sub
build_data_display"?
thanks,
joe
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use CGI qw(:all);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
my $data_display = "";
# build dropdown list of main data groupings
my $dropdown = "<select name=\"datagroup\" onChange='alert(\"you chose \"
+ datagroup.value)'>";
for my $dropdown_value ("", "Camps", "Electives", "Faculty", "Levels",
"Memorabilia", "Sightreading Skills", "Students", "Workshops")
{
my $selected = param("datagroup") eq $dropdown_value ? "selected" : "";
$dropdown .= "<option $selected
value=\"$dropdown_value\">$dropdown_value</option>";
}
$dropdown .= "</select>";
# begin displaying web page
print header("text/html");
print start_html( -title=>"Administrative Page",
-script=>{-language=>'javascript'}
);
print start_form();
print "$dropdown";
print "$data_display";
print end_form();
print end_html

# this will build the appropriate display for the desired data
sub build_data_display
{
}
