Following the Purchase Order sample

and I'm stuck on this line of script:

partNoScript.populatePartNo(

this);

What does PartNo refer to?

Thanks,

populatePartNo is a function in the script object PartNoScript.

// Populate the part number Drop-down List.

function populatePartNo(dropdownField)

{

      var i;

      for (i=0; i < partNo.length; i++)

         dropdownField.addItem(partNo[i]);

}

Thank you. What does the specific phrase PartNo refer to. The dropdownfield is named txtPartNum and the var in the script is called partNo. The capitalization is throwing me, I guess.

Thanks,

PartNo is an array defined in the PartNoScript script object. It contains the values that are loaded into the drop-down.

// Array of part numbers.

var partNo = new Array(" ",

   "580463116",

   "25906311C",

   "25129637J",

   "771128",

   "11198262A",

   "57251",

   "25906312A",

   "51615223D",

   "51615224D",

   "516154CAC");

So it's OK that in the populate function the phrase is capitalized as PartNo although the var is partNo?

Yes.

'populatePartNo'  is the function name. 'partNo' is the array name. Since 'partNo' is defined outside of a function it is available to all functions in the script object. The 'populatePartNo' function iterates over the 'partNo' array adding each child to the drop-down.
