Hi all, I've followed the Z SQL Method instructions and built a simple interface to a database. I have an input form with four text-input boxes. The values entered into the four input boxes get INSERTed as a database record when the submit button is clicked. I want to change one of those text-input boxes into a selection box -- limiting the user to a dozen or so predefined values (which would be selectable from a menu that appears on the box when you click on it). From the way the Z SQL Method is used in zope, it almost looks like i might have to go into it (SQL.py) and set things up the way I want. Is this right? Is there a better solution?
NO ! DONT JUMP ! FOR GOD'S SAKE !!! If I get you right, you want what windoze call a "list box" right ? So, instead of: <input name="my_db_object" width=30 value=""> you will use: <select name="my_db_object" size="1"> <option selected value="01">01</option> <option value="02">02</option> <option value="03">03</option> <option value="04">04</option> ...etc. </select> ...life is sooo simple :-) Dimitris Andrakakis http://atlas.central.ntua.gr:8000/~mc94068 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
