Dynamic Forms Help

[drgonzo6807]

Hello,,

I have a form that writes to a MySQL database. The form needs to present 3 basic choices, and upon selecting these choices 3 relative radio groups (about 3 or 4 radio buttons each) need to be dynamically inserted inline in the form respectively.

for example,

Selection 1 = subgroup 1
Sel 2 = " " 2
etc..

and hopefully, if the user clicks the wrong choice by accident, they can click the correct one and the existing (wrong) radio group dissapears, and the new group pops up in the document.

eventually, I need to validate the data, and possibly store a cookie locally.. Is it possible to do this as a Child element of the Form, and will it be able to correctly store the input in variables? that can be posted to MySQL in addition to being stored in a cookie to be retrieved and replaced in the form when the user returns a second time?

can anyone help me please???? i'm desperate.. project is slightly overdue for completion..

you can see the form page at http://data4science.net/poleshift/page.php

Thanks,

sounds more like a javascript question to me...I would place the three radio button groups in to layers (divs) and show / hide the divs depending on the users choice.

You can also use JS to set and get a cookie from the client to auto-fill some areas of the form...you could store the values you desire into an array on the cookie to preserve those values in one cookie. On submit, this cookie would need to be read in (or if the values are still in the form, you could set the cookie here) and have the values passed to the server

most validation still needs to take place server side for security.

I would need more detail about your app to give more suggestions.
