  • Subject: Another try on JavaScript(Sloution)

> Earlier I had asked how to dynamically populate a select list within 
JavaScript from the AS400.

My solution is this:

Since my AS400 is the server, I copied the completed web page (HTML/JavaScript) 
to a source file on the AS400. Whenever there is a change to the country file
(my drop down list) I would with a simple RPG change the source(Web page), then 
copy it back on to the server as a new page. This seems simpler then trying to 
create a Servlet or JSP. 

Any comments?
