Basic "Form" & "Database" concept
Posted: Wed Dec 23, 2009 9:11 am
I'm building a FORM that will allow a user to enter info into a MySQL DB. The form presents the user w/ some select / pull-downs to select some of the info to be added to the db. The options in the selects are loaded from tables already in the db. The users want to select a value from one pull down (pull-down-A) and have the subsequent value of other pull downs (pull-down-B, pull-down-C, ...) restricted by the value picked in pull-down-A)
Not having done this before and guessing that it's not an uncommon procedure I'm hoping someone can tell me how this is normally accomplished. A possible solution I've thought of is to load the page w/ hidden html and use java script to do the manipulating of the option values in the selects.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks --- Mike
