Posting an active list item
Posted: Wed Dec 23, 2009 5:50 am
Right, I have been trying to look around and see if there's anything similar but I haven't been lucky as the main problem is describing what I want to do...
In simple words:
- I have a list with certain values retrieved from a Database that can be edited in place by users and saved back to the Database.
- The values of the list items can be used to retrieve certain information from a set of options that apply for all of them. For now, this is done by manually entering an items name into an input field and then clicking the relevant buttons to retrieve the information.
So it looks a bit like this:
list_item1
list_item2
etc...
Options in the form of buttons: 'Get name', 'Get surname' etc.
What I want to do is avoid the manual typing of the list items and rather, for example, when I single click (double click is reserved for edit in place) on a list item the input field automatically is filled up with the items content.
Any help will be appreciated.
