13 dropdown boxes in one form

[MaMiF Ka]

Is it possible to make a Form with 13 dropdown boxes where you can
choose different notes like b'4, a'8 etc in each box. The output should
be:

http://www.musipedia.org/fileadmin/...+a'4+d'4+b'4+d'4+g'4+g'4+a'4+d'4+b'4.+b'8+a'2.

You will be able to make and play your own melodies choosing different
notes in the boxes.

Can this be done without using Javascript ?? - and only use standard
HTML.


Any comments appriciated.
Best regards Flemming

There are any limits in the spec. If there are any in practice, they'll be
way more than 13 (probably in the thousands)

where you can
choose different notes like b'4, a'8 etc in each box.

Sure. You can have pretty much any value in the inputs.

The output should
be:

http://www.musipedia.org/fileadmin/...4+g'4+g'4+a'4+d'4+b'4+d'4+g'4+g'4+a'4+d'4+b'4
+b'8+a'2.

Yep. You just have to submit the form to the server in the usual way, and
the server generates the audio file. It looks like you already have the
second bit, although you might have to change how the server-side script
expects the input to look (13 parameters in the URL instead of one long
one)

It is not possible to change the server-side script as it is not
managed by me. I just want to be able to use it's function.
How would a form look like to make an output like this ?
http://www.musipedia.org/fileadmin/scripts/play.cgi?lily=+c'4+d'4+g'4+g'4+a'4+d'4

Is it possible to make the output of the dropdown's option values to be
+c'4 (and not having any "=" or "&" etc.) ?


Thanks for your answer

Bad luck. Perhaps you can host a modified version yourself? Another
possibility would be putting a proxy script on your server that just
re-arranged the parameters.

As far as I know, no. You would have to collect the values with Javascript
and send using XmlHttp

Javascript
and send using XmlHttp

which would be no problem if you use the thing for yourself. If you
plan on using it publically (does that word exist?), you might get
into trouble with musipedia.org's license model. Better check that
before.

Oh, yes, and you can only send using XmlHttp to the domain that the page
loaded from (security thing). So if your page isn't on musicpedia.org, it
might not work.

I think Musicpedia is liberally licenced (I can't find a notice, but I'd
guess GFDL like wikipedia) - don't take this as legal advice though!!
