My controller is this.
def news_create():
db.news.link.show_if = (db.news.category==1)
db.news.votes.default = 0
form = SQLFORM(db.news)
return locals()
And the view is this.... thanks so much for looking.
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<h2>New Item</h2>
{{=form.custom.begin}}
Type: {{=form.custom.widget.category}}<br><br>
Title: {{=form.custom.widget.title}}<br><br>
Link: {{=form.custom.widget.link}}<br><br></div>
Comment: {{=form.custom.widget.comment}}<br><br></div>
{{=form.custom.submit}}
{{=form.custom.end}}
The html comes out like this.
<foraction="#"enctype="multipart/formdatamethod="post">Type: <select class="
generic-widget" id="news_category" name="category"><option
value=</option><option
value="2">ask</option><option value="1">share</option></select><br><br>Title:
<input class="string" id="news_title" name="title" type="text" value="" />
<br><br>Link: <input class="string" id="news_link" name="link" type="text"
value="" /><br><br></div>Comment: <textarea class="text" cols="40" id="
news_comment" name="comment" rows="10"></textarea><br><br></div><input type
="submit" value="Submit" /></form>
I tried to wrap the Title line and Link line with some divs with ID's and
then tried to show/hide them using javascript depending on what the drop
down value was for category field. For some reason I wasn't able to make
that work either. I could get it working in jsfiddle, but then when I put
that js in my view it wouldn't work. I've never done any js coding before
though so wasn't real confident on what I was doing.
Basically what I'm trying to do is if the person chooses ask, they should
see the comment input, and then if these choose share, they see the link
input field.
