Hello. Keep in mind that ajax() - is a simple web2py function which is based on Jquery (see web2py.js , its code is very short and clear) It can pass to controller the values of the input elements only, see http://api.jquery.com/serialize/. So your select controls must have a name - <select name="any_name_1" ...
To pass its values just include its names in [' '] - ajax('{{=URL(' default','get_options_for_dropdown2')}}', ['any_name_1, any_name_2, ...'], 'dropdown2');"> To get it in the controller: get_options_for_dropdown2.vars.any_name_1 On Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at 6:43:59 PM UTC+3, Gael Princivalle wrote: > > Hello. > > I'm still making a form like in this post: > > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/web2py/jquery$20db/web2py/tvfncYsLrQs/MRHG5MWOMlAJ > > <!-- DROPDOWN1--> > <select onchange="jQuery('#dropdown2').empty(); ajax('{{=URL('default',' > get_options_for_dropdown2')}}', [''], 'dropdown2');"> > <option... > </select> > <span id='dropdown2'> > <!-- DROPDOWN2--> > <select id='dropdown2'> > <option... > </select> > > How is it possible to pass like a var the current select option value to > the ajax call? > > With something like that? > data: {value: $('#select option:selected').val()} > > How it will be possible to retrieve this in the controller? > > Thanks. > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
