RE: Multiple Drop Down Menus
No, I don't know of any example as far as AjaxTags goes that is closer to that... However, I would think you'll probably wind up using the std:InnerHTML handler for what your doing, and the Java Web Parts sample app has a page that demonstrates that, as well as a lot of other AjaxTags stuff. If you want to look at that, click the download link (this time it *is* there!) and download the bin distro. This is just an exploded webapp that you can drop in your container of choice and play with it. You can download the src distro if you want, but you'll have to build first before you can play, the bin distro is ready to go. -- Frank W.

RE: Multiple Drop Down Menus
Frank, Thanks for this. I am curious to have a go with the ajax tags so will have a look at the examples. I am interested in using ajax tags to speed up a results page. It's fairly standard in that I have n pages of results and the user selects 1 - n or previous or next. I suppose you don't know of an example that is closer to this scenario have you?

Re: Multiple Drop Down Menus
Try Struts-Layout has some options for doing "related" dropdowns. You may want to check it and avoid a lot of javascript coding.

Re: Multiple Drop Down Menus
set a flag represented selected or not (can be a boolean, or an arraylist that holds all selected values), put into your global bean holder (if you have, this is a java bean simple holds all objects that would be created and used during the session), then you can use logic tag to check the flag (logic:equal, empty up to you) Here is my example: 1. Assume you have a session object called "selected" (an arraylist) 2.
Re: Multiple Drop Down Menus
You have two choices... DOM manipulation, or DIV replacement. The former
can get a little complex, the later is pretty straight-forward:
color
size
function doit(obj) {
s = "";
type = obj.value;
s += "";
document.getElementById("nextSelect").innerHTML = s;
}

Re: Multiple Drop Down Menus
That's a good point, I should have said it in my reply too... if the datasets are small, you'd be better off loading it all initially and changing things client-side. No need to involve the server for a small amount of data. -- Frank W.

Re: Multiple Drop Down Menus
If the amount of data needed for drop down B isn't large, I'd load it into Javascript objects when the original page is displayed. Then use client-side Javascript to populate B after A is chosen. If the amount of data is too big, I'd investigate doing the same concept using client-side Javascript, but query the server for B's data using AJAX methods. Daniel Kies wrote: Greetings. I have an app that needs to have multiple drop down boxes that are related to each other. Instead of calling an action everytime the first menu is selected and querying for the data in the second drop down, I want to have the values in the second drop down reflect the choice of the first drop down. So Drop Down A has: 1. Color 2. Size If Color is selected, drop down B has: 1. Blue 2. Red 3. Green If Size is selected, drop down B has: 1. Small 2. Medium 3. Large I figure I can do this by calling an action when the A is selected, but how can I do this without calling an action after A is chosen?
