Select multiple values from a listbox in a WebForm DataPage

[elhide]

UpdateRecord in the javascript not allowing multiple choices.

Using the Caspio javascript works in initial capture form

//(1) \"fieldName\" is the variable name for the listbox type form element field.

var workin = \"InsertRecordSt_Pr_Work_In\";

var x=document.getElementsByName(workin);

x[0].multiple=true;

Enters multiple states worked in data table

Search form allowed multiple states by manually entering CT, MA, NH etc

The Update has a problem.

It correctly populates the state list with multiple choices from original capture form as one line item ie CT,MA,NH all on one line.

It won't let you update multiple States like the capture form

//(1) \"fieldName\" is the variable name for the listbox type form element field.

var workin = \"UpdateRecordSt_Pr_Work_In\";

var x=document.getElementsByName(workin);

x[0].multiple=true;

all scripts place in footer in Caspio wizard

Suggestions ?

Looking at the source code of a rendered Details (update) page, the input name becomes 'EditRecordxxxxx'.

Change: var workin = "UpdateRecordSt_Pr_Work_In";

To: var workin = "EditRecordSt_Pr_Work_In";

This worked fine for me. Just make sure that you're putting it in the footer of the Detail (update) page and not the Search Results page.

Multi-select feature is now available in the platform. Look for new List Data Types in Table Design. More information can be found at http://howto.caspio.com/tables-and-views/data-types/list/
