Hi all,
One question to you GAE experts. I'm using the python version by the
way.
I'd like to create a form in Google App Engine with 2 fields, say A
and B, and the choices of field B is restricted by A. For example, A
have choices ['a', 'b'], and B have choices ['a-a','a-b','b-c','b-d'].
and if A is selected to be 'a', then the choices for B will only have
['a-a','a-b'], while if A is selected to be 'b', then the choices for
B will only have 'b-c', 'b-d'.
I've tried searching for some possible solutions [1,2,3], and they all
require use of python AND javascripts, where javascripts are used to
filter out the choices of a field (whatever that means... I only have
2 months experience in this GAE/django-like framework, and no
experience in javascripts).
As of now, I am planning to use the method provided in [1], but I was
hoping if there is any other way to implement this sort of dynamically
changing forms without using javascripts?

Sort of, primitively, yes, meta refreshing elements or whole page,
dhtml or iframe however all standard ways doing this common component
depends on javascript.
I too plan something more userfriendly than interdependent menus. A
textonly app version is very usable since we can't expect all users to
have a windowmanager for very fast textbrowsers lynx or links running
without a windowmanager.
