Confirmation page with dynamic dropdowns

awgcas 28 Dec, 2012
Hi to all,
I am trying to setup a form with 3 panels, containing some dynamic dropdowns and a confirmation page.
I followed contents from this thread (http://www.chronoengine.com/forums.html?cont=posts&f=26&t=66301) and everything seems to work fine; but when I choose "back" I am able to get almost all fields correctly filled but not for target dropdown menus.

Is there same particular "tip" or "trick" to be implemented? Some kind of validation, or maybe something else ...

(Consider that I am not an expert coder, but I am able to "copy and paste" very well!)

😶

Thank you for any help; I will appreciate very much.
Regards,
Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,

Which version of ChronoForms do you have? There was a bug with this in some of the earlier CFv4 releases but I think that it has now been fixed.

Hi Bob,
sorry, I forgot to list environment details.

I'm using CF 4.0 RC3.5.1, Joomla 2.5.8.
Unfortunately I'm working in virtualbox VM (Debian Squeeze), so I cannot show the form I am setting up.

If you need any other information, do not hesitate to ask.

Regards,
Alessandro

Hi Bob, unfortunately it does not work ...

Just to give more details: I have only one "source" dropdown menu, and 3 "target" menus, all related to same source menu.

Everything works fine without confirmation page, but it would be better to have one: form is for registration to a conference, so a "summary" page would be preferable..

Thank you again,
Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,

Ah, you will need to add JavaScript to the page to reset the Dynamic drop-downs because there will be no options lists set for ChronoForms to search for the selected option. I'm not completely sure how you would do that. I guess that you need to put the values for the dynamic drop-downs into hidden inputs; load the correct options using Ajax and then mark the appropriate one as selected.

Ok Bob,
I think I understand. I'm not very "experienced" with Javascript and Ajax, anyway I will try.

Thanks again
Alessandro
