Hi Monk
I am working on a web application which looks like
Case I
Given a hostname provided in the text field if I press the
"Show jobs" button, it submits a form and loads the
same page with a popup_menu populated under the text
field and "Show jobs" button with all the jobs
running on that host.
Now I select a job in the popup_menu by a mouse click
on the values listed in the popup_menu. All fine so far.
Case II
Now to the right-hand side of this case -I gui objects, I
have another text field and "Show jobs" button. If I carry
out the same operation as I did in case-I on this
text-field and "Show jobs" at the right-hand side , it
submits the form and fetches one more popup_menu with
all the jobs running on this new host.
In addition to that the case-I text-field, submit button and popup_menu also appears on the reloaded page.
But the problem is the Case-I selection in the popup_menu is getting lost.
Please help me on how can I retain that Case-I selection as well when the page is submitted in Case-II and reloaded.
A sample code I am giving here below, the variables used in popup_menu are the usual array refs used in any such implementation and $qry is the cgi object.
<table border=0>
<tr>
<th bgcolor="#CCCCEE">First_Host</th><th> </th><th
+bgcolor="#CCCCEE">Second_Host</th>
</tr>
<tr align=center>
<td nowrap>@{[ $qry->textfield(-name=>'HOST_1') . '
+' . $qry->submit(-name=>'HOST_1_LIST', -value=>'Show jobs') ]}</td>
<td> </td>
<td nowrap>@{[ $qry->textfield(-name=>'HOST_2') . '
+' . $qry->submit(-name=>'HOST_2_LIST', -value=>'Show jobs...') ]}</td
+>
</tr>
<tr align=center>
<td bgcolor="#EEEEEE">@{[ $qry->popup_menu(-id=>'PM1', -n
+ame=>'PM1_JOBS', -size=>10, -values=>$old_values, -labels=>$old_label
+s, -multiple=>'false', -override=>'true', -onChange=>"fetchjobs(id,''
+,'','')") ]}</td>
<td bgcolor="#EEEEEE">@{[ $qry->popup_menu(-id=>'PM2', -nam
+e=>'PM2_JOBS', -size=>10, -values=>$new_values, -labels=>$new_labels,
+ -override=>'true', -onChange=>"fetchjobs(id,'','', '')") ]}</
+td>
</tr>

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
