Is there any 'best practice' or established patterns for dealing with forms that capture foreign keys from a very large set of options?
------------- I am building a web app that allows our field staff to create appointments. This involves creating a record that contains many foreign keys, of which some come from very large tables. For example, selecting one of potentially thousands of customers. This will mean having a form that breaks out from the main appointment form and has a search form to find the customer, that the user then selects. What's the best way of doing this in Django? - A pop-up box that then fills out the main appointment form and then disappears? - Changing the appointments form to a customer selection page that then reloads the appointments page with the data in a hidden form? Or holding the data in some session variables? - Some whizz bang Ajax solution? (I'd like to keep it as simple as possible. This is my first Django project and my first web project for more years than I care to remember) Cheers ALJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
