Drop Down List with a JSON object binding

[mlstechwriter71]

I suspect I already know the answer to this, but here goes anyway...

Has anyone successfully created a Drop Down List with a JSON object binding?

If so, I'm looking for documentation / help / anything at all on how to do this.

I am not an IT programmer - but I have access to some.

Any information I gather will be passed on to them, so hopefully they will not shake their fists at me for even suggesting it.

And at this point I don't even know if it is possible, or if anyone has successfully done it.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give,

-Michelle

//Create your JSON Object

form1.Main.#variables[0].JSN - (JavaScript, client)

//Create your table to hold your bindings

//"msg"; "name"; "age"; is the name of the properties

var tabJSON= {"binding": [

        {"msg": "Private message", "name": "Jacob", "age": "25"},

        {"msg": "Private message", "name": "Jaco", "age": "31"},

        {"msg": "Private message", "name": "Jericho", "age": "47"}

    ]

};

//Function to get the values in the table

function getB(){

          for (var i = 0 ; i < tabJSON.binding.length; i++){

                    Main.DropDownList1.addItem(tabJSON.binding[i].name);

          }

}

//Initialize event of the dropdownlist, or any other event call the get value method

form1.Main.DropDownList1::initialize - (JavaScript, client)

JSN.getB();

Thank you!

I will not pretend I understood a word of that - but I hope that it will make sense to IT.

Anyone else have suggestions?

I want to make sure that my wonderful IT folks know I did try and do research for them before even suggesting this.
