[Proto-Scripty] Re: Design question for forms
Thanks guys.
Now the problems comes when I do select something from the dropdown
and it calls the onChange, this does not seem to work.
function getTerritories() {
$('submittingTerritory').show();
}
What should I be doing to make it appear?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Design question for forms
Hi,
It's all about numbers ... do your numbers and figure out if one process
dumping all options for the form is faster for your end users than dumping
the pieces as they need them.
I have big a cluster(massive processing) but limited bandwidth .. so I would
err on small pieces .. but if you only have one server .. then dumping all
the options would likely be the best solution.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Design question for forms
Hi,
The main point of Vladimir's changes being that you cannot put a div
where you had one (assuming those TRs were inside a TBODY or TABLE),
it's invalid HTML. IIRC, TABLE can only contain TBODY, THEAD, or
TFOOT, and TBODY can only contain TR. (Most browsers will insert a
missing TBODY for you if you leave it out and put TRs directly in a
TABLE.) Neither TABLE nor TBODY can contain a DIV. The validation
service[1] can be helpful for this sort of thing.
Vladimir also inverted your logic, so it shows something rather than
hiding it. Whether you want to do that will depend on what you want
the user experience to be if JavaScript is disabled on the end user's
browser.
