I have a textbox, textarea and select box on my user interface. How can I populate the values using Javascript ?

John Clarke

Hi, I read the description "Runtime. Array of strings variable. The Items control property stores the items that are shown in the control. You can set this variable at designtime using the Array editor dialog or at runtime, like any other array variable." but I find myself still puzzled regarding how to populate the items attribute of the select component with an Array using Javascript.

I know that if I had to do this in HTML I would create an option element which I would then append to the select.

Hello John,

Yes; certainly we no need to add "options" into the select: we must deal with the "items" property, so, for example, we can change the items in the select in this way:


views.view1.select1.items = [
  'My new item',
  'My another item'
];

Or we can add a new item to the select in this way (remember, "items" is an Array variable):

 
views.view1.select1.items.push('My new item');
