Hi
I would like to create a list box depending on the number in a text box. For example a text box allows only numbers 0, 3, 5, 7, or 10. If the user chooses 3 in the text box, the list box should display all numbers above or equal to 3 (3, 5, 7, 10). The same is true with another list box where it should display the number below or equal to 3 (0, 3). Please help me how to write this code in the list boxes.
Thanks

So let's say you have 3 list-boxes. In "LB1" the user makes their selection. "LB2" shows the values larger or equal to the selected value in "LB1" and "LB3" shows the smaller values.
You set LB1 to commit the value immediately, and then use this code as the selection change script:
var lb1 = event.change;
if (lb1!="") {
var values = new Array();
for (var i=0; i < event.target.numItems; i++) {
values.push(Number(event.target.getItemAt(i)));
}
getField("LB2").clearItems();
getField("LB3").clearItems();
for (var i=0; i < values.length; i++) {
if (values[i] >= lb1)
getField("LB2").insertItemAt(values[i], values[i], -1);
if (values[i] < lb1)
getField("LB3").insertItemAt(values[i], values[i], -1);
}
}

How to use this as the selection change script. Should I use this as a javascript on mouse down event.

In the last tab of the Properties of a list-box there's an option to execute scripts on selection change.
