Module development and code questions

I just need a simple example of how to pass an array of strings to and from a php page using AJAX. Anyone wanna chime in?

When will the CCK include a date type field for Drupal 4.7? I really need to be able to have a date field as a type when I create my new content types.

Is it also possible to configure the date (or any field) to have a default value? Sort of pre-populated?

If I use a radio button for a text field, where do I specify the number of options, and the values for those options?

I am fairly new to CCK, having only used Flexinode in the past, so I apoligize if these are easy and silly questions.

Can anyone help me with the views module? I have a list of fields at http://www.saturatecolorado.com/associations and I would like the website field to be hyperlinked to that field.

I am using CCK with the webfields module added.

I also have the imput format for URLfiler installed, but it does not look like the input types affect the fields listing.

Any help is welcome.

I have been trying to publish the staticHTML module to Drupal.org for over a week. So far nothing has happened and all problems remain. I have tried everything avalable in the handbooks without result. Here's a list

Hello,

I was trying to develop a new block with a dropdown menu based on categories.

I've created a new block (php code type) with this content:

<?php
//Default Value for Select
$t_description[] = 'List by State';
//Get Taxonomy Terms in Vocab State
$result = db_query("SELECT term_data.description, term_data.tid FROM term_data WHERE term_data.vid=1 ORDER BY description");
//Populate array with descriptions and links. The key of the array will be our URL.
while ($term = db_fetch_object($result)) {
  $t_description['http://www.americanpublicradio.com/gov/views/'.$term->description] = $term->description;
}
//Build the select list using Drupal's 'form_select' function.
$category_select = form_select('', 'category', '', $t_description, $description = NULL, 'on Change="top.location.href=document.getElementById(\'edit-category\').options[document.getElementById(\'edit-category\').selectedIndex].value"', $multiple = FALSE, $required = FALSE);
//Give our subsequent form a name we can grab with the Javascript
$form_attributes[description] = 'state_jump';
//Build our form with Drupal's 'form' function.
return form($category_select, $method = 'get', '', $form_attributes);
?>

Now when I try to log into my page I only can see the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_select() in /home/meloinve/public_html/includes/common.inc(1150) : eval()'d code on line 11

Hi. I have this problem: I have two node type that are the same but not for the category. One is under "tips" category and the another one is under "faq" category. Is there a way to create only one modules that can manage both (tips and category node) ? A function to call where I can choose which is the correct category to show or a function that "create" the correct form, it is for me the best solutions.

Tnx in advance.
