Multiple drop-downs

the seeded templates only allow for one drop-down. I want to create multiple drop-downs say one for size, one for color. Some items have size selection, some have color selection, yet others have both selections. Each permutation will initially have a sku entry, eventually some permutations will need to generte an errors if you can't get say a shirt in blue if you want it small (for instance).
Part of this is probably inventory setups, I guess, but iStore may have something for this with categorization etc..

you will need to create a custom template (modify the seeded template) so you can have multiple drop downs...remember to register your custom template using the Template Manager so changes dont get overwritten during upgrades...

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

How to get values from a multiple drop-down box.

On my first page, I have a multiple drop-down box as the following code.
<select name="selInterMethod" class="textbox" multiple>
<option selected value="CH">Chicago</option>
<option value="NY">New York</option>
<option value="SF">San Francisco</option>
</select>
On my second transaction page, I need to save "CH-NY" into my Database column: city if the user selected Chicago and New York.
How can I accomplish this in JSP?
Thanks for your help.

I figured out the solution. Here it is. FYI
String inter_method = "";
String Inter_Method[]=request.getParameterValues("selInterMethod");
     if( Inter_Method.length > 0 ) {
          for (int i = 0; i < Inter_Method.length; i++) {
               inter_method = inter_method + '-' +Inter_Method;
          inter_method = inter_method.substring(1,inter_method.length());
          System.out.println("trx inter_method = " + inter_method);

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the a separate text box...more help please

Thanks to Gilad D67 for showing me how to have multiple drop down menu items appear in a separate text box. This stuff blows my mind. Is there any script I can use to make a new drop down menu item appear in the same text box, but on a new line below a previous entry. For example. I select 'cat' from my drop down menu and it appears in my text box. Now I choose 'dog' from my menu and it appears in my text box like so 'cat dog.' Is there any way I can make 'dog' go straight to a new line automatically without having to manually go into the text box and change it?
cat
dog (new selection goes straight to a new line)
Now, I don't have a clue if this is also possible, but imagine, I don't like my drop down menu selection of 'dog' and I go back into the menu and I change to 'rat' but in the text box, 'dog' still appears and 'rat' is added. Do I have to manually delete 'dog' from the text box or is there script that can do this for me.
Any assistance would be incredible. It amazes me how people know this stuff.
This is the script I have so far
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "Use common singular nouns, plural nouns [plural ‘s’] and proper names to say what things are"
    aQuotes[1] = "Use numbers 1–10 to count"
    aQuotes[2] = "Use basic adjectives and colours to say what someone/something is or has"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text30").value += " " + aQuotes[item];

You have to set the option for the text field to be multiline and then change the last line of the script to:
getField("Text30").value += "\r" + aQuotes[item];
To reset the field you can use a separate button with a Clear Form command, and then you just select this one field from the list.

When creating my own form... is there a way to to link multiple drop down fields to other drop down fields?

when creating my own form... is there a way to to link multiple drop down fields to other drop down fields?

And in what program? You need to be more specific. Creating conditional forms is of course possible, but the procedures will depend on the actual program and target medium. HTML forms work differently from PDF...

How to use multiple drop down lists and do not allow duplicates.

I am creating a roster that has multiple positions on multiple pages. I have a drop-down list that is populated with all of the employees and want to make sure that the same employee cannot be selected for multiple posts. Ideally, when one is selected in a position, that person would not be an option in the other drop-down lists. Also, when the form is published, the end user will not use the drop-down lists in order. I have found script to remove selected items, but it only works when the user makes selections in order (List1, List2, List3 etc).
First time posting, any help would be appreciated.

Look into the ring control. It behaves a lot like an enum, but you can dynamically set its contents and values associated with those contents.

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the same separate text box. How can I do it?

In Acrobat Pro X, I've figured out how to create a drop down menu with items that will populate a separate text box, but how can I get multiple menu items to populate the same text box. For example. My drop down menu has three items cat, dog, mouse. I choose cat and it appears in my separate text box (hooray). Next, I choose 'dog' from the same menu. I would like it to appear in the same text box along with my previous selection 'cat.' Is this possible? I'm very new to Java Script, any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

She is the script I'm using
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "cat"
    aQuotes[1] = "dog"
    aQuotes[2] = "mouse"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text field 1").value = aQuotes[item];

Need multiple drop down menus to populate text in one text box

Not sure how to do this. I have 27 drop down boxes with the choice of true or false. What I need is that everytime someone chooses false it will create a list of subjects that were false at the end of the document in the notes section.
I tried a simple false export value and on blur - run a java script 'this.getField('NOTES: Resource concerns').value = event.value;', but it will replace the previous drop down boxes subject. Is there a way for me to get multiple lines included in the notes section?
Thank you

This is quick and from memory, i can't test it right now, but it should give you an idea. Put this in a document level script:
function SetNotesField() {
     // Set up a variable to hold the entire NOTES field value
     var Notes
     // Add the value for each dropdown box here (replace 'GetValueFor_SE_FieldHere' with the value you will use for that dropdown)
     if (this.getField('SE').value == 'true') {
          Notes = Notes + 'GetValueFor_SE_FieldHere' + '\r' // add a carriage return if needed
     if (this.getField('SQ').value == 'true') {
          Notes = Notes + 'GetValueFor_SQ_FieldHere' + '\r' // add a carriage return if needed
    //...Duplicate the above for any other fields you need
     // Set the value of the notes field to the concatenated value for all dropdowns.
     this.getField('NOTES').value = Notes
For each dropdown field, add the following to the 'OnBlur' event:
SetNotesField()

Multiple drop down menus won't work

Hi guys,
Mac newbie here: I decided to give them a shot after a lifetime of PC use due to a friend's recommendations.
I'm trying to apply for jobs, and every single site that has two drop down menus, with one dependent on the other, won't work in Safari. (if I go try it out on a PC with IE, it works without any problems). For example, a menu that reads "country" and the next one reads "state". It will let me choose the country, but then the "state" one won't work at all, with the only option being "choose one".
As these are required fields to send the application along, I'm having to borrow someone else's computer every time I apply for a job, and that's getting old fast. Any ideas on how to get Safari to quit hanging up on the dropdowns?
I have no idea if this matters or not, but I bought my Mac when I lived in Japan. I'm still running the English version of the OS, though.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

I use www.alldatapro.com for auto repair information. It a members only site so it might be a bad example. The problem im having is, i cant select the first option in any dropdown menu. The badpart about that is some of the menus only have one option. In such a case, i have to log in on regular computer, put the info in, then reload the website on the ipad so i can use the "previous vehicles" option. I have a jailbroken ipad running 4.3.1. The dropdown mnus worked perfect until i upraded to 4.2 and i still havent found the source.

Multiple drop down menus in a row

I am trying to create a bid sheet for my interior design business.
For example in my first column(A) i would like to have a drop down menu with Demo, Plumbing, Electric, etc.... and if i would select Pluming in that drop down menu, next to it in column(B) I would like to display a drop down menu specific to plumbing like Toilet, Under-mount sink, Tub, etc.... then the next one after be a grade like entry level, mid, and high end with a hidden value that would be added at the end with my overhead % added.
Like i described above I am a designer with cad experience but not Numbers experience. However, I know how to make a drop down menu but don't know how to make the selection control the next column and/or columns.
If anyone knows an answer, a forum, a book I would love you for ever.
Thank You

I could be completely stupid but it says "the operator "/" expects a number but cell B2 contains a string

CAUTION, the screenshot is made from an English version running on a French system which is responsible of the semi-colons replacing the commas.

Help with actionscripting multiple drop-down menus

So I have 3 different drop down menus that I want to use, and I want them to all work together so that if I have drop down menu number one open, the 2nd menu will drop down while the 1st one is still down.
(I'm using Flash cs3)

Multiple drop down menus

I have generalised this question to JSP's i'm using the struts framework but it applies to JSP's as well anyway:
I have many part drop down menus. These are mapped to partXX, part XX where XX represents the part number. This is a bad way of doing it because i can't easily add more parts to my form without creating more variables. I've tried storting it in an array but the last selection is stored and then previous one is wiped when the form is submitted. Any ideas?

Given that you use JSP twice in the first sentence,
possibly the JSP forum would be a smarter place to
ask your question?

Multiple Drop down boxes

I have a jsp in which i'm using 5 drop downs.
I have to populate the last 2 drop downs according to the value selected in the first 3 drop downs. I can do this by selecting the first three drop downs and submitting the form, then load the other two drop downs. But I do not want to do it that way.
Please reply if you guys think of any other way.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Priyankaswings,
Thanks for the reply. I guess you didn't understand what i was asking for.
According to what you said("if the value in first drop box is Fruit then in other drop box values are apple mango whatever .. like form validation"), it's not the problem selecting one drop box's value according to an other one.
here's my original problem description
************************************************************************I have a jsp in which i'm using 5 drop downs.
I have to populate the last 2 drop downs according to the value selected in the first 3 drop downs. I can do this by selecting the first three drop downs and submitting the form, then load the other two drop downs. But I do not want to do it that way.
For example, I have 1st drop down "Vehicles"(Cars, Vans,Trucks, MotorBikes), 2nd drop down "Types"(Sports cars, SUV's, family cars,Luxury cars etc), 3rd drop down "Make"(Acura, Honda, Volvo, Lexus, mazda, Vokswagon etc). These three drop downs will all be populated from the database. When the user selects one from each drop downs, according to that combination you need to populate the "Model".
Say i selected Cars in 1st drop down, SUV's in the second and Volvo in the third , it should populate the model according to the selected three values. Hope you get a clear picture now.
It's actually combination of three drop down boxes that i need to look for. And if at all the user keeps changing the selection of even one drop down out of the first 3 drop downs, the value of the last 2 drop downs will be changed.. Any idea???
Thanks,
Anjana

Multiple drop down filter for xml

Hi,
I've had a look through previous posts, but I think I need
the very basics explained to me.
Here's an example of some XML that I want to use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<company>
<department name="Research & Development">
<employee>
<name>John Doe</name>
<job>Software Analyst</job>
<salary>2000</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Jane Fletcher</name>
<job>Designer</job>
<salary>2500</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Chris Benton</name>
<job>Programmer</job>
<salary>3100</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Ben Walker</name>
<job>Programmer</job>
<salary>2800</salary>
</employee>
</department>
<department name="Marketing">
<employee>
<name>George Palmer</name>
<job>Copywriter</job>
<salary>2530</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Tony Norberto</name>
<job>Content Editor</job>
<salary>1900</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Adrian Segata</name>
<job>Marketing Manager</job>
<salary>5000</salary>
</employee>
</department>
</company>
I'd like to have two drop down menus (Job and Salary).
Default output table should display all of the names of the
employees. When a user selects a drop down menu, the output table
should filter so that only employees with that job are displayed.
It should also have a reset button (or blank on each drop down
menu) to reset the table to its default.
Currently thinking that the drop down menus should be
Spry:repeats as a menu.
As you can probably see, I'm very new to this, but if anybody
can suggest some code to do this it would be really helpful. I've
had a few attempts with Spry, but my programming is really limited.
So far I'm OK with displaying the drop down menus and the original
table, but can't implement the filters. I've just spent a while
trying to do it in XSLT to no avail :(.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help on this.

</xsl:stylesheet>
So, I've got 3 drop down menus, and an output table.
How do I go about making the drop down menus filter the table
(e.g. choose a salary and the table only displays employees with
that salary)?
I'm guessing it's something along the lines of Spry:if
"employee/salary" = "salary", but I've no idea how to implement it.
Thanks again for any help with this.
