Embedded JavaScript in form definition file to create items for selection list

[Bart Molenkamp <b....@bizzdesign.nl>]

Hi all,

Would it possible, or a good idea to be able to build a selection list
with some embedded javascript code? E.g.

<fd:selection-list type="javascript" value-path="value"
label-path="label">
  var data = new Object();

  data.cityList = new Array(2);
  data.cityList[0] = {value:"AL", label:"Alabama"};
  data.cityList[1] = {value:"AK", label:"Alaska"};  

  return data;
</fd:selection-list>

The definition already can have embedded JavaScript for event handling,
so why not here?

Bart.

Have you considered <fd:selection-list type="flowjxpath"> ?
