Re: [PHP] Variable quantity chooser.
The slider control is not a regular html-form-object. (on Windows you can see one in the recycle-bin properties). If you want to, or need to, i guess you can use an active-x control og make a javascript to do it. I wouldn't reccomend either... However if you need to set a not so spesific number you can use multiple radiobuttons or something like that. I made one just in this case to see if it's useful. One never know what will come in handy later on :-) It's not excatly what you wanted, but you might want to take a look at www.omnimedia.no/slider.php3 for the source and a quick try. Doesn't really do anything, though :-) (btw: you don't need JS if you don't need to display the current value, as it will be submitted as '$val') -Y - Original Message - From: "Steve Werby" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; "David VanHorn" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 5:50 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Variable quantity chooser.

Let me peel back a bit. When I generate the form, I pull up from the db, the quantity on hand, and the quantity already committed to orders. So: $max=$quantity-$commit is the maximum number I can allow someone to order. In the form, I'd like to get to a mechanism that would allow entry (by most any means really) of an order number 0 and less than $max. I know I can do it by submitting the form, but it would be irritating to have to do that.. Maybe I should just display $max, and let it go at that. -- Dave's Engineering Page: http://www.dvanhorn.org Where's dave? http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?kc6ete-9 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Trust your users, do ya? wry grin If you don't want to handle validation on the server side using PHP, you should probably look at a JavaScript solution that checks to see if the number is between a given range after some event (like the form element losing the focus) and popping up a dialog box if it's not valid. Try internet.com's Javascript area or another JS site to find a code snippet that does what you want. -- Steve Werby COO 24-7 Computer Services, LLC Tel: 804.817.2470 http://www.247computing.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] Variable quantity chooser.
Is there a way, using PHP, to generate a quantity chooser that maxes out at the quantity on hand? IOW, I have $quantity from the database, for a given line item, and I'd like to have a slider that lets you run up to, but not over, the quantity on hand. This might be more of an HTML question.. -- Dave's Engineering Page: http://www.dvanhorn.org Where's dave? http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?kc6ete-9 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
