texte = I have just downloaded webcat and am trying to convert a Tango/Filemaker database to see what webcat can do. Trouble is, I have a number of mutiple-choice inputs in the form, and I can't work out how to make a new record with multiple choices. I have tried multi-select popup lists and multiple checkboxes. Neither work the way I want.An example is the platform field in the database, which has many possible non-exclusive values: {Mac OS, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 3.x, Solaris, LINUX, ....}. For multiple values, the platform field should have all values separated by returns (or some other delimiter,
is useful). The entry for WebCatalog should be Mac OSWindows NT. How do I use a form field(s?) to make a new database entry that has both values in it? How do I allow users to search for muliple vales (eg only products that run on both Mac and UNIX) from a list whose value changes from time to time? I can generate the scrolling lists using WebDNA from a database of allowed values, but just can't input multiple values.I could do something tricky with an applescript and multiple input fields with different names, or I could make fields in the database for each platform, but that is not practical for another field that already has 25 non-exclusive choices, with more being added daily by the users.Any suggestions?Regards Thomas WBThomas Wedderburn-Bisshop Development Manager Woomera Net Solutions Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
