I want to dynamically filter the amount of data returned when populating
a Select field. The select field I am using has too much data and
causes the form to load very slowly. I have several of these select
boxes, that pull down different data. I need to be able to filter what
data gets into the boxes based on choices the user makes.
For example:
The user wants to select a doctor from the drop-down list.
The user knows they want a doctor who'se name starts with 'L', but the
drop-down box contains every doctor.
I would rather the user just get a select box that conatins doctors that
start with 'L'.
How can I cut down on the amount of data that is passed to the form on
load? The only solution I have thought of so far is to give the user a
text box to enter in the initial of the doctor they want. I assume they
would have to get this text box before they got to the actual form.
Is there a bettr way?
