ini, that's a nice idea, but it wont work since one of the values is an url. and it already contains : and i dont wanna program a text parser that filters all that out.
it's an url and the name of the url and the function outputs the complete <a ...> tag.

bitdamaged, that sounds interesting. but how do i then use it as values in the html code?

uhhhh i just found a very elegant solution myself:

look at this code:

code:

<INPUT type="button" value="Insert Linkcode" onClick="addText(document.editmenu.links.value,document.editmenu.links.options[document.editmenu.links.selectedIndex].text)">

cool, ey?

sorry for the horizontal scroll here, but i couldnt resist to use the code-tag.

Hi.
This is an interersting thing that I use from time to time that you might be able to use:

In any tag you can place an inline style, like this:
style="width:100px; height:100px;"
What you also can do is place your own attributes in the style tag, they are ignored until you pick them up...
Like this:
style="data:your url here; level:level one; zone:zone one;"
Place this in a form and call getData('yourmultidatafieldname') onSubmit.

Here's a testpage that works.

code:

<html>

<head>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

function getObj(name){

if (document.getElementById)

    return document.getElementById(name).style;

else if (document.all)

    return document.all[name].style;

else if (document.layers)

	return document.layers[name];

}



function getData(name){

    x = getObj(name);

    alert("data:" + x.data + ", level:" + x.level + ", zone:" + x.zone + ", form value: " + document.mulitidata.dataField.value);

return false;

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

This is a formfield that holds 3 set pieces of data + whatever you write in it.

On the same principle you can change all data on the attributes as you work your way through a form, or track clicks on a page, whatever...

<br>

<form name="mulitidata" onSubmit="getData('dataField');">

<input type="text" name="dataField" value="your text here" size="15" maxlength="15" style="data:your url here; level:level one; zone:zone one;">

<input type="submit">

</form><br>

and test it...

</body>

</html>

I wish you'd say what you're trying to do, but try making two arrays, where the first element in each array corresponds to the first option in the list, and so on. then, when someone selects an option, read from the arrays.
