Can someone get me started in the right direction?
I'm working with the Web Client and need to build a combo box for users to select. The problem is that I can't find a way to add my items to the Combo box while I'm scrolling through the recordset in my Action. If there is a way to do it in a jscript instead of an action, please someone enlighten me.

Here are 2 ways I would do it:
1)
Have the action build the HTML for the select item and its options.
On the web client, use Jscript to invoke the action and retreive the result.
Insert the result from the action into the innerHTML of an existing item on the Web.

2)
Have the action return an XML object containing the options you want to place on your Combo box (Select element)
On the Web Client, use JScript to invoke the action, retreive the results and load them into an XML Object
Using Javascript, loop thru the Elements on the XML Object and add them as Options into the Combo box

Another Alternative would be to use the Include tag and load the items onto the Template. I would use this approach if you do not need to call the action dynamically based on user response.

Sorry for the lack of Code samples, but let me know which approach you prefer and/or wether you would like some sample code.

In the action just set the return result to be the physical combo html. i.e. set

html = "<select name="blahblah">"

then start the loop

html = html & "<option value=rsvalueetc>"

end the loop

html = html & "</select>"

setactionresult html

Much easier than the xml or javascript ways.
