Using Javascript, I want to show a list of months and years, then utilize the selection from each to create a filename in the pattern month_year.pdf before displaying the file.
In order to select a different file, I also need to be able to reset the choices. There is no need to select a month because for two of the years (2001 and 2006), there is just one option available (January and December, respectively).
For every other year, all twelve months are applicable. Since I'm not too familiar with Javascript, I could use some assistance. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
I've searched through instances, but nothing that seems pertinent has come up. Most solutions seem to dwell on drop-down lists. Pls help me.

We'll create dropdown menus (select elements) for the user to choose the year and month, and a button to generate the filename. We'll also include a reset button to clear the selections.

We'll write the JavaScript to handle the dynamic changes in the month dropdown based on the selected year, generate the filename, and reset the selections.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
const yearSelect = document.getElementById('year');
const monthSelect = document.getElementById('month');
const filenameDisplay = document.getElementById('filename');
const generateButton = document.getElementById('generate');
const resetButton = document.getElementById('reset');

const months = [
"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
"July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
];

const specialYears = {
"2001": ["January"],
"2006": ["December"]
};

function populateMonthSelect(year) {
monthSelect.innerHTML = '<option value="">Select Month</option>';

if (specialYears[year]) {
specialYears[year].forEach(month => {
const option = document.createElement('option');
option.value = month;
option.textContent = month;
monthSelect.appendChild(option);
});
} else {
months.forEach(month => {
const option = document.createElement('option');
option.value = month;
option.textContent = month;
monthSelect.appendChild(option);
});
}
}

yearSelect.addEventListener('change', function() {
populateMonthSelect(yearSelect.value);
});

generateButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
const selectedYear = yearSelect.value;
const selectedMonth = monthSelect.value;

if (selectedYear && selectedMonth) {
const filename = `${selectedMonth}_${selectedYear}.pdf`;
filenameDisplay.textContent = filename;
} else {
alert('Please select both month and year.');
}
});

resetButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
yearSelect.value = "";
monthSelect.innerHTML = '<option value="">Select Month</option>';
filenameDisplay.textContent = "";
});
});
