[web2py] Re: lose focus events in form fields
There is some example script here which may help with the idea - both a setup for countries and subdivisions with Ajax and also a couple of range controls for urgency and importance where I then backfill the values into form fields for the actual values. As far as I am aware web2py does not have a range widget so this added another field and then wrote the value back. https://github.com/DonaldMcC/gdms/blob/master/views/answer/answer_question.js this is loaded by answer_question.html in the same folder Regards Donald On Thursday, September 27, 2018 at 8:25:11 PM UTC+1, Dave S wrote: > > > > On Thursday, September 27, 2018 at 5:28:50 AM UTC-7, Rahul wrote: >> >> Hey All, >> This is essential - I can do what Donald has said but I want to >> do it at runtime. >> > > Why would you not consider jQuery to be "at runtime"?

There is also support in web2py for some simple direct ajax operations. I would urge you not to use the CRUD forms; they are deprecated and not being maintained. In the documentation at the tip of the tree, you will find a warning about this. (There seem to be some hosting issues with getting the tip version displayed.) /dps > On Thursday, September 27, 2018 at 2:24:04 AM UTC+5:30, Dave S wrote: >> >> >> >> On Wednesday, September 26, 2018 at 10:43:31 AM UTC-7, Donald McClymont >> wrote: >>> >>> Hi Rahul >>> >>> You could just do this with Jquery as events that run when any of the 3 >>> fields are exited however I am not convinced that's really a great approach >>> - I haven't seen an example of doing this as part of the actual SQLFORM. >>> Another question would be do you really need to concatenate them as part of >>> your data entry?

Hey All, This is essential - I can do what Donald has said but I want to do it at runtime. It would also be helpful when I try to implement say for example select a country from drop down and then populate states as per the country selected in another dropdown. may more use cases like that including calculations like age by selecting date fro date widget and populating years based on selected date in another field. I think these use cases are pretty valid and have seen them in a lot of web apps (typically aspx, php and java/jsp). How I achieve it in web2py with SQL forms or CRUD forms is what I am looking for.

[web2py] Re: lose focus events in form fields
Hi Rahul You could just do this with Jquery as events that run when any of the 3 fields are exited however I am not convinced that's really a great approach - I haven't seen an example of doing this as part of the actual SQLFORM. Another question would be do you really need to concatenate them as part of your data entry? If you need them later you could use a computed/calculated field or some function to concatenate them when required?
