I have a program which generates HTML from an XML file using XSLT.
The program needs to generate a dropdown such that
<select>
<option onclick="function($dynamic
<option onclick="function($dynamic
<option onclick="function($dynamic
</select>
The problem is onclick event doesn't work in internet explorer, and each option must call the function with different parameters that are hardcoded into the HTML when the page is generated.
Unfortunately the program cannot run inline scripts so something like
<script>
var parametersArray = new Array()
parametersArray[1] = $dynamicallyGeneratedParam
parametersArray[2] = $dynamicallyGeneratedParam
parametersArray[3] = $dynamicallyGeneratedParam
function2(inPA)
{
...(code to call function1)
}
</script>
<select onchange="function2(parame
...
</select>
won't work...
Can anybody provide a solution to this problem.
I need to call the function with different parameters, based on what is selected, without using any inline scripts.

Can you provide the XML and how you would like the HTML to look? I understand that this is a combination XSL/Javascript question - I just need to see what needs to be passed. ChetOS82 is correct that you need to use onChange in the select element.
If you could post some XML and how it should look (sans the javascript), it might help us help you.
Hi Guys,
I managed to solve this by generating the array in the actual onChange event.
i.e. passing in a hardcoded multi-dimensional array into the function.
(this.selectedIndex,[[['']

I don't know what you mean by "without inline scripts" you are trying to use "inline" scripts already on the onclick event.
Perhaps i don't understand, I would think that you should do:
<select onchange="function(this.va
<option value="$dynamicallyGenerat
<option value="$dynamicallyGenerat
<option value="$dynamicallyGenerat
</select>
