Dynamic Pop-up Menu (Select box) in Dashcode - iphone

I'm trying to use Dashcode to create a drop-down list for an iPhone Web app. I want the list to be set dynamically based on a data source, and for the selected item to be set by a separate data source.
I've figured-out how to set the parameters on the data source to get it to alter the contents, and have the data in valid JSON, but can't figure-out how to connect up the data source to make anything but a blank pop-up appear. I've tried connecting arrays and associative arrays to each of the bindings and still can't get anything (except an error when I try and connect it to the content)
So... Anyone out there done this?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using the code out of Dashcode library? There are a number of prewritten snippets in there and often with a bit more detail on the Dashcode docs on the apple site.
The other way is to download some widgets and then disassemble them to see how someone else has done it.

accessing XHR within google sheets

I've been using import functions a lot in my sports modeling, but I've never been able to figure out how to get past the issue of pulling information that is dynamically imported from another source.
For example, i'm trying to use importxml to pull the money line values in this link here: https://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-odds/nfl-football/money-line/
I can get the information in the left columns up until "PINNACLE", and after research i now understand I can't get the rest of the information because it's not static on the page and I need to go to the source... how do I find the source of this information so I can pull it from there?
I tried inspecting the page, clicking on "network", clicking on "XHR", refreshing the page and previewing the results, but nothing seemed to match.
Am I looking in the wrong place?
The page uses websockets to download the data, so I don't think you could simulate it in Google spreadsheets using formulas (maybe it could be possible in a script). However in this particular case there is a 'classic view' variant of the page which includes all the data in its source:

oracle forms it shows only prompts not shows item fields in the canvas

I add sub class information to blocks , items and buttons. When i ran the form in application it shows only prompts not shows item fields
can any one suggest what is happen here
Thank you
Little bit hard to say without more information but most likely the forms compiler is not able to find your object library. Please make sure that the object library is in the forms path.

dojox.grid.DataGrid is not displaying properly

I am trying to use dojox.grid.DataGrid and dojox.data.JsonRestStore.
Somehow the data grid is not displaying properly.
What surprised me is clicking the Run button at the dojo document side :
http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.9/dojox/grid/DataGrid.html
all these examples are displaying data grid properly.
Does anyone know what's going on the dojo grid?
All the examples given in dojo datagrid are working because they are providing local data. If you want to use it in your project then u have to implement a web service that provide remote data in json format as mention in documentation regarding jsonrest store.

Auto form filling

I have a requirement like I need to fill an online form automatically. (Auto form filling).
Means I need to create an application in which clicking on the "Auto fill” button it will open the form in browser (form is another website page) and fill the data automatically.
The data (which may change each time) I will supply from my application. So first I thought of implementing the functionality using iMacro.
But later I realized I can’t call this imacro from an application if it is free version. So please suggest me some idea to achieve this functionality.
Thanks.
as far as i under stand your problem i would say try sikuli ..it just a simple you can say a compiler and a language which uses image recognition and you can make autobot through this and a very easy to learn ..

How can I program a button on an Access form to link to a browser window that looks up multiple addresses on Google Maps?

My problem is very similar to the one posted here:
http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/Plotting-Addresses-Maps-t1968130.html
except that thread never found any solutions. Basically, I'm working on an Access form that has a datasheet as a subform. Upon clicking a button on the main form I'm trying to make it so that a browser window opens up and, using the address columns from the spreadsheet data in the subform, plot all the address markers listed. I've looked up a lot of ways to attempt this but I've yet to find a way that seems to work.
I'm not even sure if it's possible to plot multiple markers on Google Maps, but according to research (and after trying it myself) it seems like it isn't, although I don't want to rule it out entirely because I'm still not 100% sure. However I know both Google Earth and batchgeo.com do allow this. I still want to try and do this on Google Maps, but if that doesn't work I want to try to do it using batchgeo.com and if that still doesn't work, then Google Earth (I don't want to make the user download external software if possible).
If it helps, from what I've read API's seem like a useful tool, though I'm not sure how to apply it to an Access form, it seems more like a way to embed to already existing websites.
I'd really appreciate if someone could help me figure out how to approach this problem!
Maybe this would help?

It is Excel but should be translatable.
Here is another example, this time using Access:

You're right. There's no way, that I'm aware of, to embed a Google Maps object in a form (like an ActiveX control). Microsoft MapPoint is a software product that lets you do Map integration by way of an ActiveX control (no need to use HTML and/or javascript).
What I usually do on a project like you're working on is I get my HTML page working the way I want it to, outside and independent of MS Access. You should be able to program and test the HTML file locally without having to use an actual web server. Just use something like NotePad++ or Sublime Text Editor 2 to write your HTML and Javascript and then open the file in your browser to see if it works. I'm quite sure you'll need to use Javascript in your HTML page to make this work. That's what the Google Maps API is all about.
After you have your webpage working, then you will have to go into Access and write code to create that web page on the fly with the address data for the current data set. You can just write it out to the Windows Temp folder and then open your browser control that that web page.
Julian Knight's answer links to more specifics on how to create the HTML page on the fly. It looks like gobble-de-gook, mostly because it is. Outputting HTML/Javascript/CSS from VBA is far less than optimal. This is why you troubleshoot it outside of Access, as much as you can.
