calling a popup form from a form checkbox
« on: January 03, 2013, 12:23:16 AM »
I have a form with multiple check boxes which I would like when selected to call up another (popup) form with extra details to be entered. A summary is then presented in the comments field. It works well if I call up with a button but I cant get it to work via client side server code directly from the check box. I don't think it is talking to the server?
Any suggestions please.
John ???

Hi John,

Because of the way Popups work, it's not possible to do this (at least not with the templates at the moment.) Popups are populated onto the page when the page is created (and "appear" and "disappear" when required.) So it would take a lot of hand-code to make them work off a checkbox.

I recommend for now either making the fields on the first form (and hide / unhide them) or do the popup as a button.

cheers
Bruce

Thanks Bruce
I will try hide/unhide and make it look like a popup or something.
