Dropdown filter partially works

[vsorensen]

I have a browse filtered by file relation, with a drop down use to select the parent value.  It should automatically refresh the browse when I make a selection, as in the DropDown example, but it only does so when I select the first value.

I added a button to refresh the page, and it works, so it appears that the updated parent value is set and saved.



The generated code is:
<tr>
<td colspan="3">

<div id="webindex_imc__category_prompt_div" class="adiv"><span class="FormPrompt">Show event type:</span></div>

<div id="webindex_imc__category_value_div" class="adiv"><select name="IMC__Category" class="FormEntry"  onchange="sv('IMC__Category','webindex_imc__category_value',1,FieldValue(this));nextFocus(webIndex_frm,'IMC__Category',0);" >
<option value="&lt;Processes&gt;" selected="selected" class="FormEntry SelectList1">&lt;Processes&gt;</option>
<option value="Hot Key Manager" class="FormEntry SelectList2">Hot Key Manager</option>

<option value="Log Manager" class="FormEntry SelectList1">Log Manager</option>
<option value="Script Manager" class="FormEntry SelectList2">Script Manager</option>
<option value="Task Manager" class="FormEntry SelectList1">Task Manager</option>
<option value="Trigger Manager" class="FormEntry SelectList2">Trigger Manager</option>
</select>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">RegRico('webindex_imc__category_value');</script>

<div id="webindex_imc__category_comment_div" class="adiv"><span class="FormComments"></span></div>

<div id="webindex_refreshpage_value_div" class="adiv"><button type="button" name="RefreshPage" id="RefreshPage" value="Refresh View" class="MainButton"    onfocus="javascript:location.reload(true)"">Refresh View</button>

</div>

<div id="webindex_refreshpage_comment_div" class="adiv"><span class="FormComments"></span></div>
</td>
</tr>

Not sure what you mean "but it only does so when I select the first value"

you are sending value to server and Resetting the browsecontrol's value in the Client-Side tab of your dropdown?

[vsorensen]

- The first value is a default, so if the range limit value is blank, this default is used.

- If I select this first value, the browse refreshes. (ONCHANGE=...)
- If I select any other value, the browse does not refresh.

Hi vince,

When you say "range limited" you mean you are using the "range" template settings, in the browse template as distinct from setting a filter in the browse template?

NetWebBrowse Settings
Filter tab

Range Limit Field:  IME:Category
Type: Relationship
File: imEventCategories

Tried both Default Filter and a conditional filter as "Child of...".

Hi Vince,

any chance I can get an example?

Coming... It's taking longer than I thought to pare the app down...

thanks for the example Vince

the answer is in 2 parts -
 
part 1 - my bug. In your case an error message is not popping up. The error says:
Show event type: Must be one of <Processes>, Tasks, Scripts, Triggers, Hot Keys, Web, Ftp, E-mail, News, Com Ports, Logging
 
part2 - your but - your drop down "show event type" has items like "Log Manager" which are not in the above list.
ie the dict validation for IMC:Category is kicking in.
