Or, if it would be possible, given a specific database, to know every possibilities at once and if the number of possibilities doesn't go past 10, we could automatically create select boxes with the possibles results. Else, we leave a blank textbox the user has to fill. Plus, if only 1 possibility is available, no need to do anything. Plus date format doesn't need to be entered either, etc etc... ( It's good to dream ).
Do you know if something like that is possible ? Cheers, Alexandre -- Alexandre Dubé Mapgears www.mapgears.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
