You can demonstrate how the function works by installing and loading the package:
| In[1]:= |
The function HTMLSelect provides a useful way to generate select tags with webMathematica. It takes a list of the different options and the name to be used when the selection is submitted. Its operation is shown below.
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= |  |
A typical browser will show this as a dropdown menu:
When an HTML form is submitted using this select, the variable $$arg1 will be set to the value of the selected option. In this example $arg1 will be set to 1 if "voltage" is selected, 2 if "current" is selected, and 3 if "resistance" is selected, according to the value assignments.
By default, the values for the option tags are chosen automatically as numbers from 1 to the number of options. It is also possible to set these with an argument.
| In[3]:= |
| Out[3]= |  |
It is also possible to set the initial selection by using the option SelectedOptions. Typically only one option is selected. In this example, the option labeled "b" will be selected.
| In[4]:= |
| Out[4]= |  |
The browser will show "b" initially selected:
Selecting the initial option by its value instead of its label can be done with the option SelectedValues.
| In[5]:= |
| Out[5]= |  |
If no values are given, the SelectedValues option can use the numerical values.
| In[6]:= |
| Out[6]= |  |
