October 25, 200917 yr ...that will allow me to create a dynamic dependent drop down menu for user selections. Basically I just want something for PhP that will allow customers to choose Gender, Style, Color and so on from individual drop downs with each succeeding drop down pulling the relevant info from the database. Any information on how best to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.
October 25, 200917 yr I think what you need is this , Demo http://www.kaosweaver.com/demo/index.php?id=25 eatures of Dropdown Menu/List Rewrite: Loads the source select's text and values Sets up the target select's text and values paired up with the source select's individual entries. Manages all of the data in JavaScript Notes: Requires JavaScript Dropdown Menu/List Rewrite Quick Guide: Setup a form with two dropdown lists on the page, populate the first dropdown. Select the first dropdown and open the Dropdown behavior (under the kaos menu in the behaviors panel). Select an option from the top list (which you entered in step 1). Enter a value and label and click Add. Repeat for all options dependent on the selected option in the first box. For example, if you had automobile manufacturers in the first box and Ford was your first entry, you would enter F150, Explorer, Mustang in the entries (one at a time), then select Nissan and enter Altima, Quest, xTerra for that entry. Select the target dropdown. Click OK. I would send it to you but that would be un-fair to Kaosweaver its only $9.95 to purchase anyway. Enjoy.
October 25, 200917 yr Author Ok I do not have a list of behaviors under Kaos (already bought it on my quest to figure this out), it just says list/menu rewrite. it looks similar to the options you describe however when I go through list/menu rewrite and assign the values i get "tbd" in my dependant dropdown. Can you tell me what I'm not seeing?
October 25, 200917 yr Author I'm kind of flabbergasted at how difficult such a seemingly simple operation is. I'm essentially looking to accomplish this: http://www.tshirthell.com/funny-shirts/marshmallow-roast/?fdo=n If you click on each selection you'll notice the page refreshes while the relevant information is pulled from the database to populate the next dropdown menu. I'd just like to know what the best way is to accomplish this behavior, as well as be sure that it's compatible with my shopping cart. It seems like the web is completely dry on good info for this.
October 26, 200917 yr I have not used the Kaosweaver extensions, although I have bought a few.... How about the Dynamic Dropdowns Extension from Webassist? Dynamically connecting dropdown lists or multiple select lists can be a challenge. However, Dynamic Dropdowns helps alleviate the pain involved with accomplishing this task. * Create dependent drill-down lists easily * Multiple lists levels with repeated applications * Point-and-click interface * Descriptive text option * Single load strategy * Prepend parent name option * List item management o Add to list o Remove o Select all o Move up o Move down * Create Dynamic Array server behavior * Populate List from Array server behavior * Add Value from Source List to Target List server behavior * Remove Selected from List server behavior * Change Position of Selected server behavior * Select All in List server behavior * Set Selected in List server behavior * Supports Dreamweaver CS4, Dreamweaver CS3 and Dreamweaver 8 * Multiple server model / database support o ASP-JavaScript / ODBC o ASP-VBScript / ODBC o ColdFusion / ODBC o PHP / MySQL
