Dashboard Add User Page JavaScript Issues

Permalink
Hi All,

I am quite new to C5 and currently trying to help a small firm with their C5 instalation by sorting the mess made with C5 by another developer. I am trying to get some JavaScript files working for a client on the Add User page in Dashboard with very little success.

Basically, I have PHP scripts that runs in a form and is used to create a select element by creating an array which in turn displays a hidden select field with a different list dependent on the selection made in the first select element. My problem is that I just can't seem to get the javascript to behave properly.

There are 3 departments and whilst carry out the add new user function, they want to be able to select a department in the first select element which will then reveal another hidden select element with choices relevant to that particular department.

<form name="classic">
<select name="departments" size="4" onChange="updatedepartments(this.selectedIndex)" style="width: 150px">
<option selected>Select</option>
<option value="sales">Sales</option>
<option value="accounts">Accounts</option>
<option value="support">Support</option>
</select>
<select name="departments" size="4" style="width: 150px" onClick="alert(this.options[this.options.selectedIndex].value)">
</select>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var departmentslist=document.classic.departments
var departmentslist=document.classic.departments
var departments=new Array()
departments[0]=""

I would love to know how to set it up properly in C5 if anyone can help please. I have searched everywhere but can't seem to find any docs on customizing the dashboard pages whilst keeping the look and feel the same.

Thank you in advance.
