I want to edit an entry in the database, but I don't know how to do it without passing an ID or with AJAX.
Isn't there a way to choose the entry to edit in a dropdown/select box and then, when the user selects it, a textbox would appear just beneath the dropdown/select box for him to enter the new name of the entry ?
Any help will be appreciated !
Thanks.

I have a continuous form which displays an overview/summary of my data. A user can select a row and click a button I created in the footer to open another form which has all the detail for that particular record and be able to edit it. This works fine. However I would also like for certain fields to be editable from the continuous form. I enabled two fields I would like users to edit directly (One is a combo box selection and the other a text box) When users click the combo box for any record it works fine and they can go back to the same record and select another value if they wish. All great but the text box behaves rather differently - The text box will allow the user to initially enter a value but after entry the box appears disabled and the only way to change the initial data entry is to go into the detail form which still works. Why can't users change the text box from the continuous form after an initial entry?
I found the issue!
There was a conditional filter on that particular field
I am working in a small SharePoint project to let school students pre-order the lunch online.
the main idea is the student can login to a school site, fill an order form.
I try use a list form to do it, just simply put a InfoPath form as web part on the home page.
When students open the site, he can fill the order form directly.
but the problem is the default view of this web part is always the new item form. so when a student already make the order, then login to site again,
how can I let him see his order and edit it instead a new order form.
another way may be use the form library, but i don't know how can i transfer the filed from the form to a list. because at last we still need a list instead a bunch of documents to get the summary of order.
Thank you for help.
Perhaps you can use a custom list and show that on the homepage?
A 'custom list' by default only has a title column but by adding more columns through the list settings you automatically add form fields on its new item form.
Since you are creating an order form you might want to hide the title column. Go to the settings of the list, then advanced settings, allow editing of content types. Then back in the list settings click the 'item' content type, then the title column then click the radio button for hidden.
I would like to bring view details button in my form when right clicked on my form view details should be shown like in standard any form for example when we right click on item number field on the form we have view details option when clicked that opens the details form of that item.
I tried using the normal right click method but could not succeed, please help me how to bring the view details functionality in my custom form.
To have the "View details" standard context menu, the following must be true:
The foreign key (FK) must have a relation defined on the table of the key
The table pointed to by the FK must have a form
The form must have a display menu item
The menu item must have the same name as the table or the FormRef property must be set
The menu item must have security set up, and the user must have read access (or better)
Running the Best Practice check will usually spot the errors.
This blog entry explains it nicely.
You have to create Display Menu Item with the selected form.
Then you can set newly created menu item for the FormRef property of the Table.
I have a spring mvc form with a drop down and radio button.
I want to redisplay the form for confirmation and the drop down and radio buttons are not retaining the selections in the command object.
The drop down displays all the contents from the list but doesnt show the selected option from the command as 1st option.
Appreciate your help.
use the spring forms tags and set the path attribute to the name of the variable in which you are storing the radio and drop-down selections.
Make sure that you are using form:radiobutton and not form:input type="radio".
I have a very simple asp.net form.
a text box,
a dropdownlist with autopostback,
a submit button
now if i type in some value into the textbox
and then select an item in the dropdown which causes a page postback.
then click on submit button
the value in the text box does not get saved into the autocomplete data store.
if i do the opposite.
select an item from the dropdown which will cause a page postback.
type in some values in the textbox.
click submit.
the value is saved for the autocomplete.
I think this may have something to do with the page life cycle and the viewstate. but how do i get around this issue? I'm using IE8.
I have tried the AutoCompleteSaveForm command. but it does not work if there's a postback immediately after the execution of it.
Use this for IE:
if($.browser.msie){window.external.AutoCompleteSaveForm(FormName)};
It does not work for Firefox and I'm trying to find the answer for that....
