Struts 2 s:div doubleselect problem ?

[Rahul Nair]

Hi,

I want to implement doubleselect functionality using the struts s:div tag in my application.

On jsp page there is Department and Employee Select tag, when user selects department i want to populate the employee select tag with the employee in that Department.

The struts2 select tag for Department is as follows:

    
<s:select list="deptList" listKey="id" listValue="deptName"
				name="deptID" label="Department"
				onselect="get_employees('%{deptID}');return false;"
				headerKey="1" headerValue="--Please Select--" id="dList"
				required="true"/>

and the script function is follows:

    
<script>
	function get_employees(id) {
		alert('Hey you are here');
		dojo.event.topic.publish("updateDiv");
	}
</script>

when i hit the URL it will populate the Employee Select Box with Defalut values which we have assigned to Headerkey in Department Tag....

But it will never display me alert box ? Can you please tell me what is the problem in this code ?

Hello,

Thanks for reply!
It is working now...
The problem is in a javascript function..... it did not get called on onchange event....so i put it in header then it works....

Anyways...i want some another solution for populate select boxes down in the hierarchy.... e.g. Suppose i have departments, managers for that department, supervisors working under that manager in that particular department... and under that super wiser i want to add Employee.....

Obviously...i want to show user the the 3 select Boxes for selection....here i want to populate the manager select box according to department and so on ....so i use dojo plugin but it has much complex, deprecated and it will not populate downside box after selection.....

Now, i am using jquery plugin.....for that but it too gives me freemarker template error though i am not using the freemarket template ? i don't know what is wrong...

can you please help me for the clue or any other way to implement above functionality ?

After running the application...the very first Department List is also empty... and FreeMarker Template error shows on the screen...
The error is as follows:

FreeMarker template error!

Error reading included file template/simple/css.ftl
The problematic instruction:
----------
==> include "/${parameters.templateDir}/simple/css.ftl" [on line 40, column 1 in template/jquery/select.ftl]
----------

Java backtrace for programmers:

So, can you please help me regarding the same ?
