Last bit of code to html_output.php

[Wetpants]

Hello!

I've been working on a little contrib which is supposed to switch pictures depending on what the user selected from the pull down menu. Like if a customer is looking at socks and choose 'blue', the picture will change to a pair of blue socks. I think I am almost done, but don't understand the function tep_draw_pull_down_menu well enough.

 

This is my modification for it:

 

	$field .= ' onChange = switchimage("'.tep_output_string($name).'",this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)';

 

But I am only getting numbers with the 2nd arguement to switchimage, not the text value. I'm think the 'for' statement underneath it would help me, but not sure how. So please help me, how do I get the choices the customer selects in the pull down menu as an argument in onchange()?

 

 

 

 

And here is the whole function:

 

// Output a form pull down menu
 function tep_draw_pull_down_menu($name, $values, $default = '', $parameters = '', $required = false) {
$field = '<select name="' . tep_output_string($name) . '"';

$field .= ' onChange = switchimage("'.tep_output_string($name).'",this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)';

//	,'.this.selectedIndex.');
//	 + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value."')';

$field .= '>';

if (empty($default) && isset($GLOBALS[$name])) $default = stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($values); $i<$n; $i++) {
  $field .= '<option value="' . tep_output_string($values[$i]['id']) . '"';
  if ($default == $values[$i]['id']) {
	$field .= ' SELECTED';
  }

  $field .= '>' . tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '"', '\'' => ''', '<' => '<', '>' => '>')) . '</option>';
}
$field .= '</select>';

if ($required == true) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;

return $field;
 }

Well, it works anyways, just have to know what number is connected to each choice.
