[WOODY] - How to bind a repeater from other widget (or add filled in repeaters from another source )

[JD Daniels]

I am sure this can be done.. I am lost in the wiki :)

Could someone point me to the right miki page or tell me which woody 
keywords i should be looking under?

Say I have a select widget which is rendered :

<select name="itemId">
   <option value="1">First type of thing</option>
   <option value="2">Second type of thing</option>
   <option value="3">Third type of thing</option>
</select>
Now in my form template, I want assign an repeater add action to this 
select.

so i have in my form definition:

<wd:repeater id="typesofthings">
   <wd:widgets>
       <wd:field id="label" required="true">
           <wd:label>Label:</wd:label>
           <wd:datatype base="string"/>
       </wd:field>
       <wd:field id="parameter" required="true">
           <wd:label>Parameter:</wd:label>
           <wd:datatype base="string"/>
       </wd:field>
       <wd:field id="id" required="true">
           <wd:label>ID:</wd:label>
           <wd:datatype base="string"/>
       </wd:field>
   </wd:widgets>

</wd:repeater>

and I have a file:

<typesofthings>
   <type>
         <id>1</id>
         <label>First type of thing</label>
         <parameter>T</parameter>
   </type>
   <type>
         <id>2</id>
         <label>Second type of thing</label>
         <parameter>K</parameter>
   </type>
   <type>
         <id>3</id>
         <label>Third type of thing</label>
         <parameter>F</parameter>
   </type>
<typesofthings>
So when the select list is changed, it will add a repeater that is bound 
and filled in with the values from the file.

Am I even making sense?
