Shawn & gang, Help...I'm so close??
I have worked on the code and it's real close..
I believe the problem lies with one of two lines.
code:
 	$Button.onclick	= "frm.Submitted.value=1" 

-or-
code:
 $BoxVal.selectedvalue 

I can not get the buttons to function... Here is all of the code;
code:
 
break on

$ElementArray="machine1","machine2","machine3","machine4","machine5","machine6","machine7","machine8","machine9"

$Window = IECreateWindow("A Simple ComboBox",300,300,640,480)
IEWrite($Window,"Select from the list below...","Courier","5","#0000ff")
IEComboBox($Window,"A Simple ComboBox","Your Selection",$ElementArray) ;pass array
$b1=IEAddButton($Window,"Submit","Submit",1,2,220,80,75,30)
$b2=IEAddButton($Window,"Cancel","Cancel",2,-1,310,80,75,30)

while $window.busy and $window.readystate <> 4 and @error = 0 loop

$window.document.GetElementById("ComboBox").focus
$SubmitClick = $window.document.GetElementById("Submit")
$CancelClick = $window.document.GetElementById("Cancel")
$BoxVal = $window.document.GetElementById("ComboBox")
$button= 0 $box=0
while @error = 0 and frm.submitted.value <> 0
? $SubmitClick.value
? $BoxVal.selectedvalue
sleep (5)
If Trim ("$SubmitClick.value") <> "Submit"
$button= $SubmitClick.value
$Box = $Boxval.selectedvalue
Endif
If Trim ("$CancelClick.value") <> "Cancel"
$button=$CancelClick.value
$Box ="Cancel"
Endif
loop

?"Return: " $box
?"pause..." get$k

$window.quit
$window = 0
exit 1
