Mask & Pos not coming in on the query string

Hi there. I am new to this forum and just started to work on this today. I am re-writing the PHP code to ASP and mostly have it working with the Combobox. The issue I am having is that when I am trying to pull the MASK and POS items off the querystring, they are not there. It is really odd.

Here is the call:

function doOnLoad(){
var z=new dhtmlXCombo("combo_zone","alfa",200);
//z.enableFilteringMode(true,"loadCombo.asp",true,true);
z.enableFilteringMode(true);
//z.loadXML("data.xml");
z.loadXML("loadCombo.asp");
}

In the loadCombo.asp file, a Request.Querystring will give me this value: one_a_dhx_rSeed=1238808441742

Absolutely no idea where that is coming from. The data is simply pulling a zip code from my database.

Any thoughts?!

Thanks in advance for the help!

ugh.  I am sorry.  I was trying everything and I must have had that in there when I was trying to get it to work.  I changed it up and we are rocking and rolling now.

One more quick question.  Say I want to access the combobox to be able to check the data in there client side or to clear the contents via a javascript function.  This is done after onLoad fires, so how would I do that?

      function doOnLoad(){
         var z=new dhtmlXCombo("combo_zone","alfa",200);
         z.enableFilteringMode(true,"loadCombo.asp",true);
      }

I know that setComboText() is the function, but after on load is done, z object is gone.  I tried to get to it via getElementById, but could not access it although I can do a request.form("alfa") and get the value on submit.  Here is code sample:

      function clearCombo() {
         //z.setComboText("");
         alert(document.getElementById("alfa").value)
         //document.getElementById("alfa").value = ""
      }

Thanks again for the help.

Yes, but how do I get at the object AFTER the onload function fires?  I want to validate the data in the dropdown after the user fills out a form for example or if i want to put in a clear button to delete the data in there from an action outside the combobox.  I need to access the value in there clientside.

Thanks for the help.

You can define z (combo obejct) as global variable

var z;

function doOnLoad(){ 

z=new dhtmlXCombo("combo_zone","alfa",200); 

z.loadXML("loadCombo.asp"); 

}

function validate(){

var value = z.getActualValue();

....

}
