Thanks Anthony. Trying this but running into a problem generating the json to use for the data. Keep getting a javascript error:
SyntaxError: invalid property id data: [{"text": "Skygsslo Farms", "descriptio On the python side I'm building it like this: for customer in db(customerQuery).select(orderby=db.customer.customerId): customerList.append(dict(value=customer.customerId, text=customer.name, description='%s, %s' % (customer.city,customer.state))) customerList = response.json(customerList) then I'm passing {{=customerList}} to the data argument in the javascript. I'm not well-versed enough in javascript/json to know how to get rid of these quotes, and even if I do, will it help? Any insight would be appreciated. Or, tell me to work it out on my own.... -Jim On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 10:07 AM, Anthony <abasta...@gmail.com> wrote: > I don't think you can put any additional HTML tags in an <option> element, > so you would probably have to use a Javascript plugin to render a custom > dropdown (e.g., http://designwithpc.com/Plugins/ddSlick). > > Anthony > > > On Tuesday, February 11, 2014 10:57:00 AM UTC-5, Jim S wrote: >> >> I'm looking for a way to format the dropdown list generated from a >> SQLFORM. >> >> I'm using the following code: >> >> db.equipOrder.customerId.requires = IS_IN_DB(query, db.customer, >> ('%(customerId)s - %(name)s'), zero='..') >> >> which give me a nice dropdown list showing my customer id and name. >> However, I'd really like to add a second line to each item in my list that >> displays the city and state where the customer reside.
