[webmin-devel] UI Control to Provide Dynamic List On Change In Drop Down

[PEOPLES, M. P (ATTSI) <mp...@at...>]

Does anyone know of code or a module where I could examine the code, to
do the following?

- Create a drop down box populated with a list of items of which one and
only one is selected. I already have this via ui_select subroutine.
- Use the currently selected item in the list above as a "filter" (in
this case it will be part of the WHERE clause of an SQL SELECT
statement) to populate a list
- If user changes the selected value in the drop down box, then the list
is repopulated with new values.

I know that this will involve the use of JavaScript and I have already
tried to fuse some ui_select code with some ui_multi_select code.  I
realize the multi_move function does not do what I'm asking for here,
but the fact that it dynamically redisplays values in the right
(options) list is not too far off what I am trying to do here.

I've also looked through many modules for this type of function (so I
could see an example), but could find none.

I'd like to put this into a subroutine that I can call with parameters
that would define both the drop down box and list, essentially a union
of ui_select and a single list version of ui_multi_select.
Rather than spend hours (days) trying to figure this out on my own, I
thought someone might know how to do this.

Thanks.
