It must be a common problem that every web developer faces, how to deal with pick lists. I am used to an event driven style of programming using a 4GL where I can detect before, after, click, double click, drag, drop, and the usual suite of events on widgets and handle the events accordingly. For example, if we have a field where the user can enter the city name, I can always do a lookup against a database table of cities to do an exact, soundex, begins with, or contains match for the string that the user entered and pop up a pick list of cities that the user can select from. How do you handle this type of situation in WebWare? Do you generate JavaScript from Python? Is it possible to do this with a pure Python solution? I am thinking that detecting the event using CSS should not be a problem, using mouseout for example, but I am not sure how to capture what the user has entered in the field without resorting to JavaScript.
