I wanted to hide TWIKI default pages from index of a web and then even in drop down menu option of "Topic parent" under "create new topic". I have written below script to hide TWIKI default pages in index which is working fine. But im unable to edit "WebCreateNewTopicTemplate" to reflect the changes for "Topic parent". Please help.

<div id="topicList" style="display:none;">
%TOPICLIST%
</div>
<div id=topicsToBeDisplayed></div>
<script>
var topicDiv = document.getElementById('topicList');
var topics = topicDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');
var topicList = document.getElementById('topicsToBeDisplayed');

for(i=0; i<topics.length;i++){

if(!/Web.*/.test(topics[i].innerHTML))
     topicList.innerHTML += "<li><a href='" + topics[i].href + "' > " + topics[i].innerHTML + "</a></li>";

}
</script>

Discussion and Answer

I have found the fix for my main question i.e how to hide TWIKI default pages from drop down menu of topic parent while creating new topic. I added the below code to my "WebCreateNewTopicTemplate" file:

 %TMPL:DEF{"topicparent"}%
 57 <div id="topicList" style="display:none;">%TOPICLIST%</div>
 58 <select id='topicparent' name='topicparent' size='10' class='twikiSelect'>
 59 <script>
 60 var topicDiv = document.getElementById('topicList');
 61 var topics = topicDiv.innerHTML.split('\n');
 62 var topicList = document.getElementById('topicparent');
 63 
 64 for(i=0; i<topics.length;i++){
 65 if(topics[i].indexOf('<') >= 0){
 66     var htmlObject = document.createElement('div');
 67     htmlObject.innerHTML = topics[i];
 68     tag = htmlObject.getElementsByTagName('*');
 69 
 70     if(!/Web.*/.test(tag[0].innerHTML)){
 71          topicList.innerHTML += "<option value='" + tag[0].innerHTML + "' > " + tag[0].innerHTML + "</option>";
 72     }
 73 } else {
 74     if(!/Web.*/.test(topics[i].innerHTML))
 75          topicList.innerHTML += "<option value='" + topics[i] + "' > " + topics[i] + "</option>";
 76 }
 77 }
 78 </script>
 79 
 80 </select>
