Hi,

I'm having a little problem with a conditional checkbox. Basically, I have 2 tables (Staff & JobRoles) and want to have a check box in the staff table which gets it values from the JobRoles table but conditional on a field in in the staff table that has the persons current qualification level.

So, if a user selects say level 2 as the qualification level, the checkbox shows all level 1 and level 2 roles. The roles available would then increase as the person becomes more qualified.

Can anyone help me... gratefully,

Paul

Isn't there something wrong with the metaphor here, value lists can be conditional because when not used are they collapsed, while a relational change in the basis of a checkbox, by accident can make some of the associated texts to be truncated to confusion of the user.

I would never ever use checkboxes unless they were hardwired to a developer defined list.

Why is the value list dynamicly defined, and by what?? We have to little to go on, dynamic lists requires relationships working how are they defined?

I agree that a conditional checkbox is not the best user interface element.

But other than that, the request seems clear enough.

Thank you for your help guys..does exactly what it says on the tin!

I agree that it is not the best way to do this. It is not very elegant. However, I thought it would be the easiest for the users to multiple select different roles that members of staff are willing to undertake, and what they are qualified for.

I like the idea of a multiple selection portal...but was not sure how to do it.

Thanks again.
