Drop-Down List Format Change

[avargs]

Hello,

I needed some help trying to costomize a drop down window.

I wanted to make a format that wold help the user in choosing one of these items.

Out of the following options in the dropdown:

Knife, Pot, Cutting Board, Mower, Weed Eater, Edger

I wanted to organize them like so in the dropdown:

Kitchen

Knife

Pot

Cutting Board

Yard

Mower

Weed Eater

Edger

so that the six items within the categories are the only items to choose from the list.

I have a test file with this information that I can send via e-mail

Thanks

Could you have three drop downs?  One with Kitchen and Yard and one of the others with the Kitchen stuff and the other with the Yard?  I would expect you would have them invisible until the first choice is made then "visible" up the appropriate object.

I could not figure out how to make it invisible.  Could you send me an example please?

WVSWEW.WEWsubform.MonthYear::change - (JavaScript, client)
//xfa.host.messageBox("changed the value in the Month/Year Field")
xfa.resolveNode("RecalcBtn").presence = "visible";

When this object is changed, the button is made visible.

WVSWEW.WEWsubform.MonthYear::change - (JavaScript, client)
//xfa.host.messageBox("changed the value in the Month/Year Field")
xfa.resolveNode("RecalcBtn").presence = "visible";

WVSWEW.WEWsubform.RecalcBtn::click - (JavaScript, client)
xfa.resolveNode("RecalcBtn").presence = "invisible";

When the button is clicked, it is made invisible.  Note that due to lazyness, I resolved the button here.  I could have used:

$.presence = "invisible";

using the self reference.  But you aren't doing that so I left it the long way.

Thats a pretty neat trick.

I appreciate your help Jerry
