[FX.php List] Using dynamic value list

[Michael Layne]

Bob,

If I understand you correctly, I had the same problem... here was the  
response about a month ago:

Hi Michael,

This has always been the case. The web call does not create any  
relationship on which to base the contents of the popup.

You could use a combination of PHP and JavaScript to construct a  
popup that is filtered by input into another form field, or you could  
use XMLHttpRequest (aka AJAX) to send and receive data to feed drop- 
down or type-ahead capability.

Hope this helps,
Dale
