Dynamic Value Lists

[captain_caveman]

Hi there,

 

I have a drop down menu that contains 4 choices, I also have a second drop down menu that contains related values to the choice that the user makes from drop down menu 1, for example

 

drop down 1 choice is Drinks:

drop down 2 shows : Tea

                                  Coffee

                                  Hot chocolate

 

or drop down 1 choice is Bakery:

drop down 2 shows : Bread

                                  Cakes

 

This relational lookup works fine when using Filemaker Pro but when I look at this via IWP in a browser the dynamic value lists aren't loading for the drop down 2 menu. Is this because the value from drop down 1 has not been committed so it can't load the values for drop down 2?

 

Is there any way around this?

 

Many Thanks,

Nik

You're correct - the first value needs to be committed to the database for the second list to populate. I'm not aware of a reasonable workaround for this in IWP. Even in CWP, this sort of thing isn't exactly trivial, involving AJAX style on-the-fly calls.
