4 Related Select Boxes

[Andy Mcshane]

Does anybody know of the exisitance of a CF Custom tag or a javascript snipet that will allow the creation of 4 related select boxes? I have seen tags and scripts for 2 & 3 related boxes but I do not think that my  javascript knowledge is up to the task of expanding those, neither do I really have the time to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Andy,

qForms can handle this quite easily. Head over to
http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/docs/examples/n-related_selectboxes.htm and
check out the examples. The example is for 3 selects related but I have
adapted it to 4 and even 5 selects related without problem... The code is
pretty straightforward but if you need a hand, drop me a line offlist and I
will shoot you over some code.

HTH,

Mike

Sounds good! If this is your first time checking out qForms I think you
will be very impressed with the functionality it offers as well as the
complexities it abstracts (especially if you aren't a huge JS fan). Dan
Switzer did an excellent job and continues to build on it (I think
version 2.0 is in beta.. or coming out soon).

Well I must say it does look good but I cannot for the life of me find a
tutorial on setting up multiple related select boxes, am I missing something
here?

You have to look at the code in Dan's example and determine how to get
the appropriate output using queries, etc for your usage.

OK, thanks. I will take a look at the examples, see if my javascript blind
brain can figure it out. If I still get stuck I will install AIM and give
you a shout.

Hi Mike, I have been told at work that I cannot install AIM so I will have
to rely on this list for now. I have managed to get my data loaded but I can
only get 2 of my four select boxes to populate. This is really starting to
frustrate me, I was wondering if you post a code snipet on how you managed
to implement this?

Here is a little of what I have been trying to do.

<script src="/lib/qforms.js"></script>
</cfstoredproc>
 <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
 <!--//
 // set the path to the qForms directory
 qFormAPI.setLibraryPath("/lib/");
 // this loads all the default libraries
 qFormAPI.include("*");
 // this is the default struct to use for the blank options to prefix
 // when populating a select box
 stcBlank = new Object();
 stcBlank[""] = " ";

 // create a structure to store all the team information in
 stcTeams = new Object();

 stcTeams = new Object();

  stcTeams["5"] = new Object();

   stcTeams["5"]["34"] = "Albania";
   stcTeams["5, 34"] = new Object();

    stcTeams["5, 34"]["203"] = "International";
    stcTeams["5, 34, 203"] = new Object();

     stcTeams["5, 34, 203"]["1814"] = "Senior";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 203"]["1954"] = "U21";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 203"]["1815"] = "U19";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 203"]["2844"] = "U17";

    stcTeams["5, 34"]["101"] = "Kategoria Superiore";
    stcTeams["5, 34, 101"] = new Object();

     stcTeams["5, 34, 101"]["2205"] = "Dinamo Tiran?";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 101"]["4583"] = "Egnatia Rrogozhin?";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 101"]["4584"] = "Elbasani";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 101"]["4585"] = "La?i";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 101"]["2443"] = "Lushnja";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 101"]["1029"] = "Partizani Tiran?";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 101"]["2444"] = "Shkumbini Peqin";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 101"]["2445"] = "Teuta Durr?s";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 101"]["2446"] = "Tirana";

     stcTeams["5, 34, 101"]["2448"] = "Vllaznia Shkod?r";

   stcTeams["5"]["138"] = "Armenia";
   stcTeams["5, 138"] = new Object();

    stcTeams["5, 138"]["302"] = "International";
    stcTeams["5, 138, 302"] = new Object();

     stcTeams["5, 138, 302"]["2096"] = "Senior";

     stcTeams["5, 138, 302"]["2577"] = "U21";

     stcTeams["5, 138, 302"]["2733"] = "U19";

     stcTeams["5, 138, 302"]["2794"] = "U17";
 // this example shows how you could pre-populate the form
 function setDefault(){
  objForm.Region.setValue("1");
  objForm.Country.setValue("1");
  objForm.Division.setValue("1");
 }
 //-->
 </SCRIPT>
