jump menus

[DarrenSpink]

Hi all, has anyone ever created something like this jump menu:

..were a user would choose one option then in turn it displays your further options?

Is it possible in Actinic (apart from manually creating)??

Sorry Darren

The only way I've ever been able to do anything similar to this is by hard-coding it. Hopefully someone else has some answers...

Found this article http://www.plus2net.com/javascript_t...pdown-list.php

..for hand coding, Im just a bit worried about the clients future products they put on, it would mean changing it each time..I suppose I could use 'search' on the jump menu to somewhat future proof.

anybody else have an idea?

If each product had 3 custom Variables (Manufacturer, Type, Printer) then you could probably create the basic data by looping through all Sections and then Products. You'd probably need to store it in a JavaScript structure or an external database (and storing the product ID along with the variables). Not trivial.
