OK, awesome people, I have made a lot of progress customizing DBMan. Now I'm stuck a little, with implementing Javascript related select boxes within a DBMan form. The script works well when you go to the page to add a new record for Capital Assets, However, if you error out on the page -- the script doesn't work the second time through!

At this time, the javascript is embedded in html.pl, after reading some more posts here - I will try to move it to the .js file --- that didn't work originally. Maybe I need the full path not just the file name for that.

If there are any of you who have successfully integrated a javascript within an add form in DBMan I'd appreciate your looking at my code.

Thanks for any help! I need an extra pair of eyes to figure out why I'm not always getting the same behavior from the javascript! (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't)

DUH! I needed to add the script to sub html_error_page_top as well!

however, I'm getting the script to work if embedded in the page tops but NOT if I just use a javascript call such as:

This is also not working in a test form I did with the script separate from the form. So it's something about the script or the way I have the .js file set up. Any help would be appreciated.

Again, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks!

It's unlikely you'd be able to do an http call to a JavaScript file inside your cgi folder. Try moving the JS file to your web rot directory (where the pages are) and change the script tag as indicated:
