plugin_lazy_options_widget trigger event

[Jim Steil]

Hi

I'm trying to use the plugin_lazy_options_widget to build a dependent
select list. I have to fields on the screen, both with the IS_IN_DB
validator and values available in the second depend on what is selected
in the first. This widget from s-cubism seems like just the thing, but
I can't figure out how to pass the right event that will trigger the
population of the second widget.

The example shows it working with another widget from s-cubism which
triggers an event on the 'body' element but I can't see how to trigger
the right event to get mien working off another SELECT element.

Can someone give me some pointers on how to determine the event to watch
for?

Hi Jim,

In puling_suggest_widget, trigger events are invoked from a js file:
https://github.com/sqlabs/sqlabs/blob/master/static/plugin_suggest_widget/suggest.js
by
$input.trigger($input.attr('id') + '__unselected');
$input.trigger($input.attr('id') + '__selected', [val]);
methods.
To setup your trigger events, first you need to create a custom widget for a field, and then trigger events inside the widget using the jQuery trigger method.

Kenji

What to do to not have dependency, I don't like to have autocomplete, but in the pass I didn't find how to avoid of using Suggest Widget.

Thanks

Thanks Kenji - I was trying to do this with the default widgets provided by web2py.  Thanks for the info though, I will go down this path when I get the time to dig deeper.
