hoponhiggo Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hi Guys Sorry if this question is not appropriate for this section but i have found these forums to be a great help recently. Im looking to create a form in Dreamweaver which will contain 2 fields. The first field should be a drop down menu and let me select record from a database (gameid) The second field should be a varchar field where i can add a comment to the existing record Can anybody help me with this?

hoponhiggo Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 i currently have no code for this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebStyles Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 oh dear. It's one thing to try and ask for help, it's another to just say want you need and expect someone to do it for you. If you try, I'll help you until the problem is solved, but you have to try. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoponhiggo Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 All I'm looking for is a starting point to be honest. I don't want somebody to post up a load of code that I could just copy and paste. I'm trying to learn new things. I already know how to copy and paste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebStyles Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 ok, well what you need to do is this: 1. create a form (I'm sure you can figure out how to do this simply by googling it) 2. create a combo box (dropdown menu) 3. create the text field 4. create the submit button once you have this, I'll help you connect the combobox to the database to pull out dynamic content.

hoponhiggo Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 http://tinyurl.com/6g6lrdl Creating a form is easy enough. Creating a dynamic form which selects an existing record and allows a user to update is not. But thank you. Your reference to a search engine was more than helpfull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your reference to a search engine was more than helpful just to take away some confusing. http is stateless. if you want to create a dynamic form (and you already know how to make a stateless form) you require something like php to fetch results from a database and populate the form values. Since you posted this in the html forum, and wasn't able to show any code so far, it's more than likely that you needed help in making a normal form first... Ones you know that you might want to have a look at the database handling tutorial written by Crayon Violent at phpfreaks.com/tutorials after wards it should be a piece of cake to produce this.
