Thanks for the suggestion.
You mean: | <Country Name> | <Check Box> | ? You just mean for the countries selected? And I could hide the actual check box itself? Would that be enough to ensure the values are saved with the form? I tried to use a text box instead, but it just proved more difficult! I think I may just stick with the multiple widget - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Why not make a simple table/list of checkboxes next to each country? --- Tiago On Mon, Feb 22, 2010 at 10:46 AM, Michael Howden <michael.how...@gmail.com> wrote: Hey, I have a need to allow the user to select multiple countries for a single record (in this case the record is a project - which could be occurring in a number of different countries). I've developed a widget which allows the user to select a country from a drop down, then click a button which uses JS to add it to a table within the widget and also selecting it on a hidden web2py multiple widget. The hidden multiple widget ensures that the values are saved with the form. Similarly, there is a "x" next to each country which has been selected and is displayed on the table, which will run some JS to remove it from the table, and de-select it on the hidden widget. This code is working, but I have a few questions: * Is it fine to presume that all users will be able to use JS on their browsers? * Is there a better way to do this type of functionality rather than using a hidden multiple widget? Could the selected countries be read directly from the table? Would it be more efficient to use a hidden string widget? Where is the code which gets the values from the table and saves them to the DB? * Is there any dangers/issues/considerations in using a field with multiple = True, rather than using a linking table for many to many relationships? Or even using a field with multiple = True for a one to many relationship? Please let me know if it would simplify matters (or somehow contribute) if I shared my code (web2pyslice?).
