Re: In significant need of help. -- JAVA400-L

I'll have to think about that a bit. Since Javascript is generally a client side thing, I am not sure how you could create an object on the server and make it accessible to the client. I vaguely remember doing something like this in .asp a while back but it was ugly. JSP's kind of muddy the waters between client side and server side so perhaps there is a way with JSP's to do this.

I am by no means an experienced .jsp programmer. We moved to FreeMarker so we could avoid JSP's. Freemarker, being a server side engine has gotten us a close to MVC as possible....but I am digressing here.

There are a couple of guys here that are much smarter than me (ain't hard...) with JSP and Java scripting. I'll see what they say.

I'd like to access the vector in my javascript so that I can load the values like a record selector. Forgive me, I'm new to java and I'm feeling lost lol. If this were RPG I'd be done already. Mind you I love what you can do in here though.

Re: In significant need of help.
Ron,
I have done this but we use FreeMarker as a template engine and it actually renders the Hash into an item list.

Are you creating the HTML from within a Java program? Are you using JSP's? Do you want to use the vector object directly in your HTML form?

I am just trying to get a sense of how you want to render the vector into a list with HTML (again, we let FreeMarker do that in the servlet)

I'm completely lost at this point. I wish I could send a screenshot to the list to explain what I want to accomplish, but I'll try to with

words.
Here goes:
I have a browser window that displays a customer's information. Below
the

customer's information I have a form that shows the bulk garbage details for that customer. We want the user to be able to use a drop down box that shows the bulk garbage received date in it, and use that to navigate
thru my record.
I've created and loaded a bulk garbage object that I've loaded into a vector that I'm using on the page. However, I don't know if this is right
or wrong, and I can only access the very first index of the vector to

show

the record. I need to know what should I use here to make this easy to accomplish? Hashtable, vector? And once I have it loaded, how will I

use
the drop down box selection as my navigation?  TIA,
