Multiple selection box + Substracting cascading dropdown list

I have a multi-select boxe and a drop down but instead of ADDING the choices made in the multi select box to the list of selectable items in the drop down list, I want to SUBSTRACT them.
I'll try to clearify it: if in the multi-slection box you have:
Option A and option B and
in the drop down list, you (depending on you selection) have 2 4 6 8 (options for A) or 4 8 10 12 (options for B).
When selecting BOTH A and B, the drop down liast should ONLY display the values that overlap/exist in both A and B (e.g 4 8).
This would have to work for X number of options in both the multi select box and the drop down list.
Doess anybody know how to make that work?
Thanks in advanced and kind regards!

Hi Little_Ghost,
for using a form, seems quite a challenge.
when you select the selection box, or check boxes in the form, you may need to grab the all the selection, and refresh the page with the pre-selected information, so it will be loaded when the page is refreshed.
if you are using infopath template, it may be difficult, since we need 2 infopath form templates associate with list A and B individually, not sure how to interact this cross 2 infopath form template.
my infopath colleague suggest you to try to use one infopath form template with 2 data connections.
i was thinking,
if you could populate the items, for example by using getlistitem()
http://spservices.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=GetListItems
then you may put the result in an array, and ready to compare.
since you would like to use a form, then it may not updated directly, i am not quite sure for this, because as i know you may need to use a button to send out and update/refresh the fields.

How to read the selected value of a dropdown list box

Hello,
I have 2 custom fields which are of type dropdown list on Accounts(CRMM_ACCOUNT) PCUI application details tab.I need to read the selected value of first dropdown list item,based on that second dropdown list will be populated.
I know where to populate the dropdown list box,it is in FILL_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX.
I dont know how to trap the selection made on dropdown list.
PLease guide me on how to trap the dropdown list field selection value.
Thanks in advance.
Thirumala.

Hello,
Check what is done in standard for the fielf REGION which is inked to the country.
Otherwise, you can do the following :
- in field group customizing, for field 1, flag the 'send request' flag. So, when you change the value in this field via the dropdown, the MAC methods are immediately called.
- Put the new value in a global variable (GV).
- in the fill_dropdown_listbox method, get the value from this GV and based on it, filter the values for the dropdown of field 2.
Hope this will help you,

Multiple criteria search with 4 dropdown lists

I want to perform a multiple criteria search on a MySQL
database. Users should be able to use from 4 dropdown lists in a
form only one criterium, all 4 of them or 2 or 3.
Each used dropdown list gives a numeric variable: Fvar1 ...
Fvar4. The variables from the dropdown lists used should be matched
with numeric fields in the database: DBvar1...DBvar4
The numeric variables from the dropdown lists that are not
used, should be ignored.
Example: a user selects a value in dropdown list 2 and 3 and
does not use dropdown lists 1 and 4. Fvar1 and Fvar 4 should then
be ignored for the search, that has to be performed with Fvar2 and
Fvar3, who have to be matched with DBvar2 and DBvar3.
Anyone who can help me out with the WHERE statement in my SQL
query?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Start by using the Advanced Recordset dialog box to create a
query that
looks for all four variables. Then switch to Code view and
start carving
up the code created by Dreamweaver.
The query will look something like this:
$query_getProducts = sprintf("SELECT product_name, price
FROM products
WHERE prod_type = %s AND colour = %s AND size = %s AND range
= %s
ORDER BY price ASC",
GetSQLValueString($var1_getProducts, "text"),
GetSQLValueString($var2_getProducts, "text"),
GetSQLValueString($var3_getProducts, "text"),
GetSQLValueString($var4_getProducts, "text"));
Change it like this:
$query_getProducts = "SELECT product_name, price
FROM products
WHERE ";
$where = false;
if (!empty($_GET['prod_type')) {
$query_getProducts .= sprintf("prod_type = %s ",
GetSQLValueString($var1_getProducts, "text"));
$where = true;
if (!empty($_GET['colour'])) {
if ($where) {
$query_getProducts .= 'AND ';
$query_getProducts .= sprintf('colour = %s ',
GetSQLValueString($var2_getProducts, "text"));
$where = true;
if (!empty($_GET['size'])) {
if ($where) {
$query_getProducts .= 'AND ';
$query_getProducts .= sprintf('size = %s ',
GetSQLValueString($var3_getProducts, "text"));
$where = true;
if (!empty($_GET['range'])) {
if ($where) {
$query_getProducts .= 'AND ';
$query_getProducts .= sprintf('range = %s',
GetSQLValueString($var4_getProducts, "text"));
That builds the query in stages using $where to decide
whether to add
"AND" in front of the second, third, and fourth variables.

How can I see the numbers of lines selected in a Multiple Selection Box?

Hi everybody,
what I want to do is to get in an array of numbers all the lines selected.
For instance, if I select the rows 1,4 and 7 from a Multiple Selection Box
of 10 rows in total, how can I see that array when the rows 1,4 and 7 are
selected?
Because I want to connect this numbers to Case Structure and if the only
rows selected are 1,4 and 7, the Case Structure will only realize this cases,
and the rest will be ignored.
I'm sure there is some way to get what I want.
Thank you for your helpful.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!

Multiple selection box

is there a way to use a multiple selection box and calculate values in a text box.
I did set up a rule to set values but I won't work for my need.
so multiple selection box has pc1, pc2, pc 3. The user can select all of these or just one but no matter what selection is made the price is calculated into another box on the InfoPath form, I assume either a text box or a calculated field box?
any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!!

Multiple Select boxes in one form

Does anyone know if it is possible to have multiple select
boxes inside one form? I have six different select boxes that are
generated by six separate queries. The action page for all six
select boxes is the same so I just want one submit button so users
don't get confuse. I don't want to cluster up the page with submit
buttons but I may resort to that option.
My problem is the select boxes generate a number and when
that number is submitted I want to pass two other variables with it
to the action page. I tried putting a "Form" tag around the 6
select boxes. Inside each select box I tried to add an "Input
type="hidden"" and give thte name and values that I needed. That
worked for the first select box but when I tried the second select
box it used the hidden values for the first select box.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you
have any other suggestions I am open to any.
Thanks

Paross1,
I wasn't thinking about that and you gave me a great idea.
Here is how I changed my select boxes.
<cfform
action="Resolution_History.cfm?year=#year#&sessiontype=#sessiontype#&btype=res"
name="form">
<select name="SRINPUT">
<option value="">SR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="HRINPUT">
<option value="">HR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="SCRINPUT">
<option value="">SCR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSCR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<br>
<select name="HCRINPUT">
<option value="">HCR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHCR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="SJRINPUT">
<option value="">SJR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSJR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="HJRINPUT">
<option value="">HJR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHJR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Submit" alt="submit
button">
</cfform>
On the action page I need the below IF statement to work so
it will set the variables. It isn't working at this time. Its not
bringing the values of billnumber, houseorig or the billtype.
Do you have any thoughts? I know it is close. I need to set
all of the inputs to input4 to generate my queries.
<cfif form.srinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "s">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset srinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.hrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "h">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset hrinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.scrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "sc">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset scrinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.hcrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "hc">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset hcrinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.sjrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "sj">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset sjrinput eq input4>
<cfelse>
<cfset houseorig eq "hj">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset hjrinput eq input4>
</cfif>

Creating a dropdown list which is depending on the selections from 2 other dropdown lists

Hi,
I'm new to LiveCycle and JavaScript and I was hoping someone could help me with this form I am creating.
This is what I want it to do:
I have a dropdown list named 'Area' which drops down to 3 options. Once the form filler selects an area, they will then select an option from dropdown list 2 which is named 'Brand' (there is up to 5 options), I then I want dropdown list 3 named 'Address" to have all of the address of the area and brand selected.
Is this possible?
Thankyou for your help!!

Hi,
here is an example for three dropdowns with dependencies.
You have to copy this code in the change-event of the fist dd:
Number and Letter are the entries in my example in the first dd. You have to adapt to your entries. Then you have your object names change in the script.
DropdownListe2.addItem("123"); - this phrase you could use several times (in your example 5x for the second dd)
switch (xfa.event.newText)
    case "Number":
        DropdownListe2.clearItems();
        DropdownListe3.clearItems();
        DropdownListe3.rawValue = null;
        DropdownListe2.addItem(" ");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("123");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("456");
        DropdownListe2.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    case "Letter":
        DropdownListe2.clearItems();
        DropdownListe3.clearItems();
        DropdownListe3.rawValue = null;
        DropdownListe2.addItem(" ");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("A");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("B");
        DropdownListe2.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    default:
        break;
This code you have to copy in the change-vent from the second dropdown:
switch (xfa.event.newText)
    case "123":
        DropdownListe3.clearItems();
        DropdownListe3.addItem(" ");
        DropdownListe3.addItem("123_aa");
        DropdownListe3.addItem("123_bb");
        DropdownListe3.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    case "456":
        DropdownListe3.clearItems();
        DropdownListe3.addItem(" ");
        DropdownListe3.addItem("456_aa");
        DropdownListe3.addItem("456_bb");
        DropdownListe3.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    case "A":
        DropdownListe3.clearItems();
        DropdownListe3.addItem(" ");
        DropdownListe3.addItem("A_1");
        DropdownListe3.addItem("A_2");
        DropdownListe3.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    case "B":
        DropdownListe3.clearItems();
        DropdownListe3.addItem(" ");
        DropdownListe3.addItem("B_1");
        DropdownListe3.addItem("B_2");
        DropdownListe3.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    default:
        break;

Personas 2.0: How to catch the selection event of a dropdown list?

Hi Personas 2.0 experts,
The use case:
I want to use a text field to show the "key" of an item that can be selected in a dropdown list.
The issue:
After clicking the list and selecting an item, the text field is not automatically updated with the newly selected item content.
Anyone has an idea to how make such an auto update (pls note I don't want to use an extra button to do the update, just by clicking the list only)?
Thx.
Dong

To display the key (the actual value) that's selected in a dropdown, there is a property called ShowKeys which you could set.
However if you'd want to show the selected value in another field upon picking an option, this would require an event associated in Personas 2.0 with the selection of a dropdown value. This is currently not available so I'm afraid what you are looking for is not possible.
Edit: It turns out I was wrong... there is an option (at least it's there in SP3) which allows linking a script button to the dropdown property OnValueChanged, so you can use this to do any script action you need when the user selects a value.
(thanks, Sushant )

Populating text boxes from a dropdown list connected to an Access DB

Hi, I have successfully connected to a MS Access data with a Dynamic Drop down box but I am having trouble scripting the change with a script that works to populate the 3 text fields with the remaining data from the 3 columns associated with the item chosen in the drop down box.
Also does the program support being able to use the drop down box and the fields to add data to the DB. I have just started using LiveCycle Designer 8.
Thanks.

Try this code on the exit event of your dropdown list:
tfList.rawValue = tfList.rawValue + " " + this.rawValue;
I'm presuming that the list you're adding items to is called tflist. If it doesn't work, let us know.

Multiple Selection Boxes for Data

Hello all,
I need to create a dashboard that will allow me to drill down by two parameters. For example:
I need to see the country in this example USA and then a second critera would be the states.
So I would want to be able to select USA in one combo box potenially and see the totals and then select a specific state in a second combo box and see those totals.
I would then want to do south america and those countries. So South America and then Brazil, mexico, ect.
Any feedback or ideas.

HI Jeffrey....
U can try with the filter option for drilling down to your actual content. For clear picture go through the following link.

Multiple Selection List Box-- Data Reporting Problem...

I want to build a form which reports all of the multiple selections made by users from a list box. When I test the form, only the first selection is reported in the dataset. How do I configure the form so that when data is compiled, each of the selections from the list box is reported in sequence?

Here is the solution for the requirement.
Add another 2 columns in the resource list: test1 (set default value to 1), test2 (no default value).
Set test1 to 1 for all existing items in the resource list.
Set test2 to 2 for the 10 special items.
Custom form from InfoPath Designer, modify the data connection and also include the test1 and test2.
Go to drop down control properties and make sure its value is 1 and 2.
Go add the filter to multiple selection box control like this.
Note: field1 is the field used by my drop down control in Main data connection.
7. Done. Now when we select test1 in drop down, we can see all list items in multiple selection box. And when we select test2 in drop down, we can see the 10 list items that with test2 column filled with 2.
Thanks & Regards,

How to set multi select by script to a list box.

Hi All,
I have a list box with multiple select on the form with list (Say A,B,C,D,E,F,G ..)
When I select A,C,E ans say this.RawValue I get A,C,E separated by carrage returns.
When i submit the form in my Fm I get A#C#E its all fine.
Now when the form is openend for the 2nd time to update values I get the value as A,C,E separated by carrage return thats fine too.
Now i need to set these 3 values as selected by default so i had some java script in form ready.
Where i iterate tru these list match the entries in the dropdown its fine untill here.
this.setItemState(index,true)
is the code to set them as selected but when i do only the 1st found is set to selected not the remaining ones.
Am i doing something wrong here, please let me know with your suggestions.
below is my script.
var ddValue = this.rawValue;
ddValue = ddValue.replace("#","\n");
var ddArray = ddValue.split("\n");
var ddLen = ddArray.length;
var textValue = "";
GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfItemBuilder.sfHeaderConditions.dlExpenseType.clearItems;
GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfRequestSummary.dlItem.clearItems;
for(var i = 0;i<ddLen;i++){
     for(var j = 0;j<this.length;j++){
          if(this.getSaveItem(j) == ddArray<i>){
               this.setItemState(j,true);
               GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfItemBuilder.sfHeaderConditions.dlExpenseType.addItem(this.items.nodes.item(j).value,this.getSaveItem(j));
Thanks & Regards,
Sai

Hi Sai,
     The replace function is only replacing the first occur of #, not all of them. But you don't even need to replace the # before you do the split, just change your first lines to split directly with the # character. Your code should look as follow:
var ddValue = this.rawValue;
var ddArray = ddValue.split("#");
var ddLen = ddArray.length;
var textValue = "";
GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfItemBuilder.sfHeaderConditions.dlExpenseType.clearItems;
GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfRequestSummary.dlItem.clearItems;
for(var i = 0;i<ddLen;i++){
     for(var j = 0;j<this.length;j++){
          if(this.getSaveItem(j) == ddArray<i>){
               this.setItemState(j,true);
GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfItemBuilder.sfHeaderConditions.dlExpenseType.addItem(this.items.nodes.item(j).value,this.getSaveItem(j));
Best regards, Aldo.
