OK so I could never figure out how to use this widget on itself, I ruptured
a few brain cells in the process and just decided to learn jquery. In case
anyone is ever in my position here is my working solution....
1)scrap the second lazy_options_widget and just use the default web2py
select box.
2) create a controller that will return a db lookup in json ex.
def lookup():
> response.view = 'generic.json'
> query = request.vars.query
> data = db(db.tablenamehere.fieldnamehere == query).select() or "none"
> return data.as_dict()
>
>
> This will take an variable (the id of the selected item) and return the
options you will plug into your select box
3)Add some JS to the view
<script>
var selectList = $("#IDOFYOURFIELD");
$('#TABLE_FIELD__display').change(function(){
value = $("#TABLE_FIELD__hidden").val();
$.getJSON("/app/defualt/lookup/",{ query: value }, function(response){
var responseList="";
$.each(response, function(index, item) {
responseList +="<option value=" + item.id + ">" + item.name +
"</option>";
});
leaseList.html(responseList);
});
});
</script>
4) Pray it works!
