well presented and easy to understand - it helped me to see how javascript can be incorporated without too much pain.

Is there any way to dynamically populate the list from a tabl instead of hard coding the whole list? Thank you

Can u please help me ? Actually I am doing as written in your code with a slight difference.My table is not in a frame but in a HTML form.And before the table there are two input boxes,one combo box,and ofcourse table headings.So the highlighted row is not placing correct as per your code because the table is not at the top of the screen.Can u give me some help to get the x,y co-ordinate of HTML table in javascript dynamically so that i can move the highlight layer at that X, Y position of the table.

bravo, another step in the direction of full fledge app development. im going to use this
example to build an invoice screen, so that users can manually
edit/create an invoice.
this example solves the problem
(partly) of having dynamic length
screens.

this example doesnt use real data: all data is hardcoded into
the page with no insight as to how data would be put in the page. also there's nothing about copying data from the
'details form' back to the table
that replaces the select list
sort of a one way article.
good stuff though.

Greetings...

I would like to see someone combine the code from 'Turning Tables Into Selection Lists' and 'Dynamic Table Sorting'. It would also be great to have the ability to pull the data from a database, and have it updatable to that database.

I thank the author for attempting to do something valuable but this is not anything but smoke and mirror conjuring.

If all the table data must be hardcoded into the script, what good is it? Real world situations have no relation to this example.

Hi

Interesting article.

However, it doesn't seem to work in Netscape 6+ or Mozilla

'Layers has no properties'! error.
