G'day Thanks. I have already applied the setup from devmoz, it was very helpful and I have the example working and another copy where the two tables involved actually can use a "belongs to" just as an extra test. I have likely not explained this fully, sorry. I have a table with model numbers & other info on the products called "models", then I have a table which only contains three columns, "ID", "Model Number" and "Other Model Number" called "Altmodels", so that items that are comparable could be looked up and interchanged. The "ID" number is an autoincrement, "Model Number" and "Other Model Number" can occur several times in all possible combinations. Any reference to the codes would point back to the "Models" table, it's really just a kind of index.
I could not determine a fit with the associations ( I could be missing something there) so I set up the generateList to accommodate this and realized that upon load, how do I tell the lower two lines the model code selected by default? Or can I. Maybe I am on the wrong track with that part and don't need those lines? I am using scriptaculous and have verfied that it is working within this cake project. I have done PHP b ut just started with Cake, I figure I'm abusing it but not sure how.
