Re: Best Idea Needed
Off topic - I am not really fond of selects, as you can only see the selected option and you have to open it to see other possible values.If the number of options per select is just 5 have you considered using groups of radio buttons? If I understood you correctly your form could be solved with 9 rows of 5 radio buttons each.

RE: Best Idea Needed
Another good idea with the rows, but in total I think there are close to 60 selects and more to be added so that's why I used selects. 60 Rows would be rather larger where currently I have 3 selects in a row so it cuts down on the height.

Re: Best Idea Needed
If the number of options in each select are 5 then you can take the
value and divide by 5 and examine the results
But I suspect it would be a dynamic range - again if the total range
is exactly distributed in 3 selects you can do the validation
mathematically

Ok this might be hard to explain.
Picture a single form that has multiple selects.
Each select belongs to a section_id so it can range between 1 -5 in its id
value. A Section has many Options and Options belong To Section
Each section_id has many options so to make it clear to understand
Section 1 you can select values of 0-5
Section 2 selects can select options 6 – 10
Section 3 can select say options 11 – 15
So the form has
Select1 | Select1 | Select1
Select2 | Select2 | Select2
Select3 | Select3 | Select3
Now comes validation I need to ensure that the values were not changed buy
firebug so someone tries to save a Select3 option as a value in Select2…make
sense?
So when validating select1 its only valid if it contains values 0-5. I am
currently doing a foreach thru the submitted array and checking with
foreach ( $data['UsersOption'] as $key = $value) {
//cached data sets of $section_id for each section
//so this gets all options available to choose from for the
section
$valid_options = $this-Option-__getOptionList( $value['section_id'] );
if ( !in_array( $key, $valid_options ) ) {
//if not in list specific to the section remove key
unset( $data['UsersOption'][$key] );
}
}
I know its rather hard to understand but maybe someone would know if there
is a better way?
Thanks,
Dave
