Hey All am new at this and have problems!!!
I wish to fill a dropdown list with suggestion of products dependant one user input!
I have a CSV fil with each product code on a new line!
I think I need to place CSV into and array and I think it is don as follows?
function FillArray()
{
var ProdCSV = '/inc/product.csv';
datafile = new File(ProdCSV);
datafile.open('r');
var ProdArr = new Array();
while(!datafile.eof)
{
ProdArr.push(new Array(datafile.readln()));
}
datafile.close();
return ProdArr;
}
Now my main code as a base is as follows also wish to hide and unhide the list when input field is blank or is a item in array not part!
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var ProdArr = FillArray();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
Product - <input name="model_1" type="text" id="model_1" size=16 maxlength=16 onchange="NearestProd(this,ProdArr);" /><br />
<textarea name="neartxt" id="neartxt" cols=16 rows=5></textarea>
</form>
</body>
I am unsure if this is correct and a start?
function NearestProd(data, ProdArr)
{
if (data=="" || data==ProdArr[item??]
{
hide textare???
}
else
}
fill textarea with list of suggestions based on data
text areas size to change with rows being maxed at 5 if more scrollbar active
}
}
many thanks in advance
Mikle
