Hi Maurizio

By default it's not hidden, the field which runs the reload will get replaced by the output of the Reload page, but nothing is hidden by default

how do you know it's hidden ?

 many thank max for answer

When I used CR6, in the reload page, I inserted a custom code with the instruction {view:file_name} to make the field visible after the reload. With CR7, I didn't need this. With CR8, after reloading, the field disappears from the form. How can I solve this issue? thank

Yes, after the reload is done, the old field which has the Listener will be removed and replaced by the output from the Reload call, does your Reload page return any output ?

Hi Max

Trigger is refered to dropdown and it is fired when it changes

The listener is refered textarea that is reloaded when dropdown changes

The value for textarea is elaborate by php istructions in page2

Dropdown and textarea are in load actions in page1

no need for HTML, use a Textarea field, set the name to "mattino" and the Default Value to {data:mattino1}

hi Max

It seems the the calender field does't trasfer the right value after reload, the radiobox perform the reload perfectly

I missed something?

What i want to do is to trasfer the new date selected  to the php in the9 reload page in order to change the value in the listener field

thank

Hi Max 

i downloded the last version of ch8

i found these problems

The reload of dropdown with multiselection is executed only once time

The table display with mobile phone does't work, with desktop is ok

I restore the previous version of ch8 and the table is displayed corectly.

sorry to bother you again
