Hello, I am trying to make a form for inserting a new record representing an internal complaint against a given department. Depending on which department is selected, different fields must be completed. The way I'm planning on doing this is with a simple form with a select box for the department, a DIV, and a submit button. On changing the department selection, the DIV will be refreshed to display only those fields applicable to that department (all of which correspond to a field in the DAL).
1. Where I'm having trouble is in generating the HTML fields based on the names of a field in the DAL. I have previously always just used SQLForm and sized it down to suit by passing a list of fields, but think that in this situation, and many others, it would be useful to build a form from fields obtained by passing the name of a field in the DAL and getting the validators brought through automatically. 2. Also, if I manage to do this, will there be an issue with the fact that some of the fields in the form are nested in a DIV, will the fields still auto-validate? From recollection placing a whole form within a DIV doesn't work so didn't want to do that... Cheers..
