Tim,
Thank you for your response. I greatly appreciate any assistance on this.
Unfortunately the data structure that we have is much more complex than a
drop down menu. At the end of this e-mail is a partial example of one of
the kentucky core content standards.
An end user needs to be able to select (for example) "1: Government and
Civics" or "1:Government and Civics::1:Formation of Governments" or
"1:Government and Civics::1:Formation of
Governments::label="SS-05-1.1.1 Students will describe the basic purposes
of the U.S. Government as defined in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution
(to establish justice, to ensure domestic tranquility, to provide for the
common defense, to promote the general welfare, to secure the blessings of
liberty); give examples of services the U.S. Government provides (e.g.,
armed forces, interstate highways, national parks) and analyze the
importance of these services to citizens today."
The kentuckycorecontent file has about 250 nodes and the NWEA file has
probably over 1500 (180kb file). A drop down list would not work for this.
Currently, using these xml files, I have it dropping down with suggestions
as they type. I just need it to prevent an ADD command unless it is
EXACTLY any of these nodes.
Hopefully this is a feature.
Thanks,
Matt
