Drop update problem

[Alberto]

Hi,
In a form I have a drop cstring(2) (varchar(1) at mssql) with two options: + and -
When I select the - option the field saves ok and I can see in the profiler:

UPDATE dbo.CR_DAT SET BLOOD_RH = @P1 WHERE ID = @P2

When I choose the + option the field is saved blank and the update is not send to the Ms sql server.

The validate options are set to NO in the template.

Any Idea?

Thanks
Alberto

Maybe the + is not HTML safe. Try a and b. If that works try to wrap the + in one of Bruce's HTML functions (I have not used them but seen them in his examples Base64 and escape something). The accounting app has them in the EIP example embeds.

I've attached a small update to an example which you can try.
In this example the "Alias" form has an additional drop-down.
This seems to work ok, so I don't think it's an encoding problem.
Perhaps you can compare this to your app to see what you've done differently?
Notice that the "value" of each drop-down item is in quotes.

Cheers
Bruce

Weird, my drop down is exactly the same as yours and I´ve tried with another form (another table) in my app and it works too.
I´m lost, dont know how to debug it.
Any other idea?

Thanks

not really - I guess it's your turn to make an example of it not working.
