Filter values of fields depending on other fields [message #1550]

I have and add1 transaction for 'team'.

A team has a 'sport' and 'category' fields.

Each sport has it's own categories, therefore I also have a table 'sport_category' with a 'sport' and a 'category' field.

What I want is that in the 'team' transaction, after the user has selected the 'sport', only the categories that belong to that sport should be shown and selectable.

I think this is only possible having the sport and category fields of the team table as popups, right?

Once the 'sport' has been selected, can the value be passed to the popup 'category'?

If you have two lists, and you want the second list to be populated using a value from the first, then why dont you follow the example in http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/menuguide/dict_relation ship(add).html? Here you will see that the junior database is chosen from a dropdown, then the tables within that database are chosen from a popup. When the popup is activated it is passed the database_id which was selected in the dropdown. This is explained in the documentation at http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/infrastructure-faq.html #faq17b (paragraph 3 and the _cm_popupCall() method)
