Hey Tobias I can see how I might have pointed you to the wrong direction with my MTC. My real world project doesn't use 1:1 relationships but many:1 relationships.
The thought is to be able to produce (fet) reports based on broader categories. In that sense one doesn't necessarily need a second select box (though it be nice visually), but still needs the relevant data to be written in the data section of the tiddler. Instead of car makers think of the following expense subcategories Gasoline Service Insurance Parking Fee Parking Tickets Tax Bus Card (Yearly) Airplane Tickets Most but not all of them are about owning and driving a car. But all of them need to be tied to a broader category (Transportation - Country in the MTC) Thus you can produce a fet report showing, for instance, your general transportation costs of the last six months, without the specific contribution of each subcategory. At the same time you are free to go into specifics: show me how much I've spent on gasoline per month over the last year. Of course I haven't reached the fet designing part yet, so this could all be wishful thinking. I do have a sense though that fet reports like the aforementioned are doable. Hope this makes sense and again thank you very much for your time sklpns PS. One would argue it can still be done: write a fet including each and every subcategory, yet it'd be considerably easier to write a fet including only the broader category instead of pinpointing each and every sub every time. PS2. Besides there is a number of cases where you'd need forms filled/data written based on a single piece of information: a user fills a user name and his phone number and email address appear on subsequent forms/get written in the data section. PS3. My two cents here as I'm clueless about javascript: isn't it strange that the original code works when applied to radio buttons but not with dropdown menus? thanks again -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
