Selectively Use A Drop Down List - Printable Version +- Form Tools (https://forums.formtools.org) +-- Forum: Form Tools (https://forums.formtools.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=1) +--- Forum: General Discussion (https://forums.formtools.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=5) +--- Thread: Selectively Use A Drop Down List (/showthread.php?tid=4890) |
Selectively Use A Drop Down List - wychegnome - Dec 14th, 2014 Is it possible to selectively use a drop down list based on the entry made in a different field? To illustrate what I have in mind and would wish to do: Field 1 is populated by an entry selected from a drop down list giving a choice between 'door', 'window' and 'garden'. Field 2 is a detail relating to the content in Field 1 and is best filled by using a drop down list of choices. BUT, the content of the drop down list needs to be tailored relevant to the intial choice selected in Field 1 as the choices for door, window and garden are different. For 'door' in Field 1 the multiple choices might be 'front', 'back', 'patio'; For 'window' in Field 1 the multiple choices might be 'casement', 'fixed', 'hinged'; For 'garden' in Field 1 the multiple choices might be 'lawn', 'concrete', 'hanging'. Could the experts please advise. RE: Selectively Use A Drop Down List - alexh - Dec 14th, 2014 It is possible with an external form but not an internal form. Check out this tutorial to get you started. http://css-tricks.com/dynamic-dropdowns/ RE: Selectively Use A Drop Down List - wychegnome - Dec 14th, 2014 I rather thought I'd have to use external forms which, for other reasons, I want to avoid. Thank you for responding Alex. John RE: Selectively Use A Drop Down List - alexh - Dec 14th, 2014 Let me know if you end up doing it and need any direction on making it work. I just created a similar form on a project of mine, but it's of course an external form.
