    Cannot Read Value from Drop Down Script

    This is one that has me stumped and I need an expert's input.

    Any ideas why the values from the second script-generated drop down
    list isn't recognized by the script to add time values to the text
    boxes?

    What this script is suppose to do is change the value of a second drop
    down list based on the selection from the first.

    Then a value is chosen from the script generated drop down list in the
    second box.

    This second drop down box value then runs a script that fills in the
    blanks of 2 text fields with 2 different values based on the selection
    from the second drop down box.

    It works except the value selected in the second drop down box is not
    recognized by the script to populate the 2 text fields.

    I have manually added them to the second drop down box. If they are
    chosen before the first drop down box scipt is run it works fine.

    But if they are selected after running the first drop down box script,
    the script that adds the value to the text fields views it as empty.




    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">

    var firstArray = new Array("('Select one','',true,tr ue)",
    "('first')" ,
    "('second') ",
    "('third')" );

    var secondArray = new Array("('Select two','',true,tr ue)",
    "('fourth') ",
    "('fifth')" ,
    "('sixth')" );

    function populateLocatio n(inForm,select ed) {
    var selectedArray = eval(selected + "Array");

    for (var i=0; i < selectedArray.l ength; i++) {
    eval("inForm.lo cation.options[i]=" + "new Option" + selectedArray[i]);
    }
    }
    </script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
    function addTimes(a,b,c) {
    if (a.value != '') {
    /* Validate input here to check time entered is
    of correct hh:mm format and within required range
    Handle error if is isn't
    */
    }
    var t0 = a.value.split(' :');
    var t1 = b.value.split(' :');
    var t2 = c.value.split(' :');

    var m1 = +t0[1] + +t1[1];
    var h1 = +t0[0] + +t1[0] + Math.floor(m1/60);
    m1 = (m1 % 60);
    b.value = h1 + ':' + m1;

    var m2 = +t0[1] + +t2[1];
    var h2 = +t0[0] + +t2[0] + Math.floor(m2/60);
    m2 = (m2 % 60);
    c.value = h2 + ':' + m2;
    }
    </script>

      What's with all the evals and stuff?

      This is my script for doing dynamic select boxes. Check it out.
