Kuldeepchaturvedi:Suggestion using javascript for pop-up_HELP

Hi,
  I liked the idea of using javascript for the colorid question. How do you do that? I found out that using skill.jsp takes a long time
<html>
<body>
<form action=color.jsp>

<%
String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydatabase?user=;password=";
Connection connection = null;

ResultSet rs = null;
try
{

 
   Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
  connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "", "");
 
 


}//try
catch( SQLException ex )
{
  ex.printStackTrace() ;
}
catch( ClassNotFoundException ex )
{
  ex.printStackTrace() ;
}

%>


<%
String my="select id,desc from color";
Statement stmt=connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs2=stmt.executeQuery(my);
%>


Existing Skills :  

<select name="ChooseSkill"
>

<%
while(rs2.next()){ %>

<option value=<%=rs2.getString(1).trim()%>><%=rs2.getString(1).trim()%></option>
<%}%>
</select>


<a href="javascript:dothis();">Desc</a>


</p>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>



How do i assign the desc value to the javascript variable



Thanks

Hi,
  I found the error, needed to %>

But now when i run it, i get document.color.value is not an object.

Could you pls help?
Hi,
  I changed this :
(document.color.value.ChooseSkill) to

document.value.color.ChooseSkill

and it worked thanks.

When the window pops up, it goes in the middle,
is there anywhere to make it near the desc button.

Thanks



So I see you got the answer before I ever got a chance to have a look at it...:-)
as far as your last wish of making it appear near desc button goes... than you will  have to use a popup window instead of alert...
something like this...
>>>>>
 function  displayDesc(index) {
         alert (colorDesc[index])
  }

will change to
>>>>>>
function displayDesc(index)
{
var oPopup = window.createPopup();
var oPopupBody = oPopup.document.body;
      oPopupBody.style.backgroundColor = "lightyellow";
      oPopupBody.style.border = "solid black 1px";    
    oPopupBody.innerHTML = colorDesc[index];
    oPopup.show(100, 100, 200, 50, document.body);}
}

now these co-ordinates (100,100,200,50) can be changed to your own liking...

Hope this helps.
Regards

Hi,
   I was really looking for thant , thanks, when i tried to run it, i had a runtime error that says:
Object doesn't support this property or method and when try to debug it i had the debugger stop at:
var oPopup = window.createPopup();

What do i do?
createpopup is supported only IE 5.5 and above, so make sure your browser is IE5.5 or above otherwise I am afraid it will not be working...
If it is ie 5.5 then it should be working....
ok, thanks
I have upgraded the browser and its working fine...
..Thanks again
glad to be of help....:-)
