Dear all,
i'm a CakePHP newbie and i'm looking for some help regarding a
particular use of checkboxes in a form.
Basically i've got a check-boxes-section in the form of a baked
edit.ctp, called with a basic
echo $form->input('Amenity', array( 'type' => 'select', 'multiple' =>
'checkbox' ));
The models refers to a join table with an additional field 'specify':
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `amenities_properties` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`property_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`amenity_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`specify` varchar(100) NOT NULL default 'yes',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
The idea is to set values like this:
'no' ....................if unchecked
'yes' ..................if checked
'whatever'........... if checked and a string 'whatever' is inserted
In other words I need to associate to each checkboxes an additional
input text field to be eventually filled only if the checkboxes are
previously checked
I've found what it seems a perfect solution for this, but now I need
some help to implement it in CakePHP terms.
Here it is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/
TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Test Checkbox</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function CheckCheckBox(frm)
{
if (!frm.CheckThis.checked)
frm.CheckThis.focus()
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="CheckThis">
To insert your name check the box.</p>
<p>
Name:
<input type="text" name="UserName" onfocus="CheckCheckBox
(this.form)"></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
(see it in action here: http://www.html.it/articoli/1756/esempio.html
)
How you can see, the javascript function allows the user to input an
alternative value to yes/no only if the checkbox is previously checked
So the point is:
how to get done this behaviour togheter with CakePHP default Form
Helper ?
Do you think it's possible somehow or another approach would be better
to achieve the same result ?
Thanks a lot in advance for some suggestions
Best regards
fabio
