Me again
I'll tell you something, my brain has gone totally blank and I can't
figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.
In my qualifications project thingy, I have all my course units data
stored in my database (thanks Matt!) and want to put them all in a big
list so the user can select which ones they want to add to their
qualification either as mandatory units or optional units. I then want
to submit the contents of these mandatory and optional lists with my
form and put their data in the relevant data tables.
Not a problem in theory, but I've hit a problem with building the HTML
interface that's hurting my very fragile brain.
What I've done so far is used 3 <select> objects set as lists with some
buttons and a smattering of Javascript to move these list items around -
selecting an item in the course units list and clicking the add buttons
successfully adds that item to the mandatory or optional units lists as
appropriate and removes it from available units. The process is
reversible too.
Then I try to submit the thing. Even though the lists have options in
them, unless I actually select any of the options contained no data for
that list is submitted - obvious looking back on it as that's how these
form controls work.
Am I barking up the wrong tree using <select> boxes for this? Can I use
Javascript to internally select every item in the list as soon as I
submit the form? Is there a better way of doing it?
Clear as mud I know, but cheers in advance.
