Yes, I checked: the load function is being triggered and *dpt* variable is
being set in the function every time I select an option from the first
drop-down.
Changed the function so it uses OPTION helper:
def add_experience():
add_experience = crud.create(db.seafarer_experience, next=(URL('seafarer',
'profile')), _class='formstyle')
print request.vars.dpt
ranks = db(db.rank.department_id ==
request.vars.dpt).select(orderby=db.rank.name)
result = ""
for r in ranks:
result += OPTION(r.name, _value=r.id)
return dict(add_experience=add_experience, result=result)
The respective view fragment:
<div class="w2p_fw">
<select class="generic-widget" id="seafarer_experience_rank"
name="rank">
{{=result}}
</select>
</div>
(The HTML is fixed just for now, I've cut the dynamic code to test the
auto-populating only...)
