dynamic forms

[Justin Richter]

Hey all,

I am having a problem I can't quite get my brain around.

I have a form that allows a user to create a person, then a visit for the person, then a study for the visit.  

So a user starts typing the persons account number, and auto complete finds it and fills in the persons fields.  Then the user moves down to the visit fields and starts typing in the visit id number, this is limited to searching for visits that the person has actually had instead of all visits.  Simple enough.  My problem comes when I try to dynamically load all the studies associated to a visit if it is found and selected.  It sounds simple, but I just can't seem to get it.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Justin

Nevermind, I just need to call a remote function after update element...

What is happening with your code now? Is it pulling back all visits, no visits, or is it blowing up? 

I would think that with an observer on the form you could pull the correct person, then get person.visits. Then pull the selected visit and get visit.studies.

I was using an observer, but it was firing to soon, before I selected the correct visit.  So i ended up doing this.

In the Ajax call I am using afterUpdateElement and calling a function with this in it:

#{remote_function(:url => return_case_num_orders_path, :with  =>"Form.Element.serialize('visit_case_num')", :update => 'tabbed_studies', :method => 'get')}

which passes the visits id number and returns my partial with that stuff in it...
