November 22, 200421 yr Hi, folks. Ready for the holiday? First off, here is a screenshot. It will help me explain what I mean. On the left, under "Staff" is a portal using a self join relationship. It's meant to be used for navigation; click on the name and see the related info on the right. There are about 100 staff members in the database, so some quick find/elimination is in order. This is for a school. Let's say I want to display only the staff for Classroom 1. What I'd like to be able to do is type "cl 1" in the Search field below the staff portal (there is a field "nameWorkLocation"), click the "search" button and have the resulting found set display in both the portal and on the right. If possible, I'd like to even include the likes of all classroom staff, all residential staff, etc. I just don't know how to perform a find in both this portal and the "main" data display. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks, all! dave
November 23, 200421 yr Allright, I gave it a stab ...I can only encourage the Human User InterFace guidelines you have requested... http://developer.apple.com/documentation/mac/HIGuidelines/HIGuidelines-2.html ...allthough it easily could be violated here, please investigate the uploaded template ...only question is should the checkbox also be considered a button?? As you'll see is both behaviours represented here, the portal gets automaticly trimmed by selections in checkboxes, but searches on locations needs a button to be started. Ideally should these actions have consistency ...but havn't in this template - please change if you find it counterintutive. Anyways enjoy!! --sd school.zip
