Cloning a choice on a form?

Hi guys,

 

Basically what I am doing at the moment is having users select what part of their car is damaged and then selecting how bad the damage is. I've been trying a few different ways and so far nothing is working quite like I need. However, i've just found, ASM Select, and I really like the way it works, thinking that a list of the damage would be ideal....

 

Now what I am wondering, if I use this script, would I be able to use it over 2 dropdown selection boxes and display both answers? For example when the users chooses "Front Bumper" in the first dropdown, and then "Dent (Large)" in the second, can I make it display the result in the box as "Front Bumper > Dent (Large)"?

 

Just looking for a bit of advice before I attempt it!

 

Cheers in advanced guys.

It is definitely possible:

There is a fork of asmSelect called bsmSelect https://github.com/vicb/bsmSelect

Check out the bottom example on this page: http://www.suumit.com/projects/bsmSelect/examples/index.html

Is this similar to what you wanted?

 

As bsmSelect also allows plugins: so you should be able to add in functionality that allows two drop-down selection boxes with a parent-child relationship.

 

Hope this helps.

Liam, quick question you may be able to help me out with if you're experienced with bsmselect...

 

I understand that when you select the option, and it goes below, it's greyed out on the menu because it then becomes a selected item on the dropdown. Is there any way of having the same selected item added to the list again? Or even adding a new option to the list cloning the selected item when it is chosen? Hope this makes sense.

 

Cheers

I'm not experienced with it (in fact I had never heard of either of the two).

 

You'll either have to write a plugin for it (if that functionality can be added by plugin), or modify the bsmSelect source for your needs.

Might be worth a Google for plugins that other people have written for it, to get a picture of what can be accomplished.
