Re: Populating a combobox

[Andrew Clark]

I actually got a reply to this on stackoverflow but I really should also have asked for the method of obtaining a selected value from a dropdown

I have played around with using jquery but am a bit lost and could do with some guidance

thanks

Hi

  I am looking to amend the helloworld example which currently takes a text input

res$write('<input type="text" name="friend">\n') 

To a combobox equivalent for selection

res$write('<input type="dropdown" name="friend">\n')

populated by an R vector say

myFriends <- c("Justin","Niki","Adolph")

How would I go about this?

cheers

req$POST()[["friend"]] gives you the posted value (on the next page
after form is submitted).
