hello Tobias let me start with the questions
Some questions: > > 1. The expense data are stored in data sections that always have the > same name? > 2. "Car Brands" always tag to "Countries"? > 3. Would the ideal approach be to select a country and then a Brand > (rather than the other way around? > > 1. Yes. Each tiddler represents one expense and all the data sections have the same name. 2. Ideally when Car Brands are chosen the relevant country is written in the data section. Country as a tag is an extra thing that presents with problems: if you select Audi the tiddler is tagged with Germany but if you subsequently select Volvo, Sweden is written as a tag but Germany is not removed. 3. Ideally you'd only choose Brand and the other information (Country) would be automatically written to the tiddler. I think it would be A LOT easier to write a little script with > InlineJavascriptPlugin or even plain transclusion scripts that... > > 1. creates the select boxes automatically > 2. creates the subcategory upon selecting the main category > 3. outputs your desired values upon chosing a subcategory > > I am somewhat familiar with form tiddler plugin/fet but not at all with > InlineJavascriptPlugin or transclusions. I wouldn't know where to start honestly.

Indeed, I will have to think about that, as far as designing goes I'd take your word for it anyday. But, regardless of design flaws/improvements isn't there still an underlying problem? Dropdown menus options can't seem to perform javascript functions in Android browsers, AndTidWiki included. For now the quick and dirty solution I came up with is this: use the radio form (which works persistently well) hidden inside a slider (using nested sliders plugin). So my new dropdown_template tiddler has this code +++[[select|tooltip]] <<formTiddler radio_template>> === It replicates the interface of a dropdown (options are not all shown at once but only after clicking), all data and tags seem to be written ok and as an added bonus the slider closes automatically after the selection. So now the next question would be: can you manipulate specific tags? Replace Germany with Sweden, then Sweden with Italy and so on?
