Hi. I'm medium new at codecharge.
I'll simplify the problem for this illustration:
Let's say I have a table of items, containing fields ID (key), quantity, and weight.
ID Quantity Weight
1 5 22
2 18 21
whatever. Okay, to make a record form to deal with that info is no sweat. But my problem is that I have another table of labels for these items. Names in many languages....like this: (assume 1 is english, 2 spanish, 3 german)
ID LANGID Name
1 1 Water
1 2 Agua
1 3 Wasser
2 1 Beans
2 2 Frijoles (spanish)
2 3 Bohnen
Anyway, forget about the beans and the water, those just happen to be words I speak in many languages (I keep my diet simple when I travel) The problem is that I want to make a recordedit page that is passed one param, the ID as a GET.
And I want the form to be kind of like this:
----------------------------------------------
Quantity: ___________
Weight: _____________
Labels
1: ___________
2: ____________
3: _____________
<submit>
-----------------------------------------------
now, to add to the confusion, there may be 1 or more different labels for a given item in the labels table. So for an item, there may be labels for it in 8 languages. And for others, only 2, or 1.
How can I dynamically generate the form fields? I mean, I know how to do it using raw php , but I want to do it in a way that is compatible with the record form, if possible. I'm comfortable with the custom inserts required (I think).
I just need a push in the right direction.
thanks fellas...

Tis hard to do without refreshing the page...
Are you a registerred CCS user?
You can see something similar in the Example Pack 2 - its quite complex tho.
You run a grid/query in the <HEAD> section and use JS to modify your
dropdown lists....
