I am not familiar with Modular Database Actions, but is it possible to do the following:
<input value="" name="price.cost" type="hidden">
<select name="selectedPrice"
onChange="return fill_value("price.cost", selectedPrice);">
<option value=""> -- Select a Price -- </option>
<option value="$1.00|OnePrice"> This is a price</option>
<option value="$1.00|AnotherPrice">Another Good Price</option>
</select>
(i.e. quote the name of the hidden field)
function fill_value (fieldName,value) {
var form = document.forms[0];
var field = form[fieldName];
field.value = value;
}

Subject: Default names in modular DB Actions and Javascript.
Hi,
I am using Modular Database Actions. The default name of the fields of a table
is defined:
tableName.fieldName
The problem is that this kind of parameters names in javascript is interpreted
as
Object.property.
Then If we are trying to use Modular Databse Actions with javascript. This
will not work in his default parameters name. Its conflicting.
Example:
I need to fill the hidden paramter after a user select an option:
The parameter is:
<input value="" name="price.cost" type="hidden">
<select name="selectedPrice"
onChange="return fill_value(price.cost, selectedPrice);">
<option value=""> -- Select a Price -- </option>
<option value="$1.00|OnePrice"> This is a price</option>
<option value="$1.00|AnotherPrice">Another Good Price</option>
</select>
As you can see the onchange will not work on Javascript.
Well, I know that I can change the defaults names to make it work, but can be
better if we can choose a better syntaxis of the default names.
I hope this example illustrate well the problem I am trying to show.
Regards,
Antonio Gallardo
