This package can be used to generate Web form with linked select inputs.
It generates select inputs that switch their group of options dynamically when the linked select input value is changed.
The class uses AJAX to retrieve the new group of options from the server, so it can retrieve the option values from a database on the server side.
It can link an unlimited number of select inputs.
In the same file sc_classes.php there is an other class. Called sc_form_elements. Used partialy from sc_ajax_select_boxes. It is a nice form helper class. Adds select boxes, radio groups and check box groups. It is usual to have options on db and have to populate with them select boxes, or show a list of radio buttons or a list of checkboxes. The routine is to query the database and loop throu the selected rows and add elements to the form. sc_form_elements class comes to save time rewriting that peace of code again and again, but still have control over the form. |
