Hello,
I have a javascript code (a part of it is in php) that populates a pull-down menu. It works perfectly well with Explorer, Netscape and Firefox under Windows. But impossible to make it work with Explorer or Safari under Mac!!!
Is javascript different between windows and mac?
Here's the code, if anyone has the slightest idea or suggestion.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Gaston.
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function MultiDimensionalArray(iRows,iCols)
{
var i;
var j;
var a = new Array(iRows);
for (i=0; i < iRows; i++)
{
a = new Array(iCols);
for (j=0; j < iCols; j++)
{
a[j] = "";
}
}
return(a);
}
function updateDirMenu(form,groupMenu,selectedIndex,selectedGroup, startDirValue){
var numdiringroup = Array()
var dirArray=MultiDimensionalArray(35,0)
var new_index=-1;
var groupPrefs = "<?=$group_prefs?>";
var change = 0;
if (selectedGroup == undefined) {
change = 1
if (groupPrefs != "") {
selectedGroup = groupPrefs}
}
<?php
$x = 0;
$numdiringroup = 0;
//$array = array( 'list', 'of', 'elements' );
while ($x < $num_groups) {
$xx = 0;
foreach ( $filelist[$x] as $element )
{
?>

if ($folder_prefs <> "") {

print "new_index=".$xx.";";}
}
?>
} //if $x==selectedIndex
<?
$xx = $xx + 1;
++$numdiringroup;
print "dirArray[".$x."].push('$element');";
}
++$x;
print "numdiringroup.push('$numdiringroup');";
$numdiringroup = 0;
}
?>
for(i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++){
if(form.elements == groupMenu){
var dirMenu = form.elements[i+1]
break
}
}
var thelength // thelength is number of options the menu will have
thelength = numdiringroup[selectedIndex]
dirMenu.options.length = thelength
for(i=0; i<thelength; i++){ // if number of current options is less than options to be displayed, write more options
dirMenu.options.value=dirArray[selectedIndex]
dirMenu.options.text=dirArray[selectedIndex]
}
if(change == 1) {
if(selectedGroup != groupPrefs || new_index<0) {
