    <p>I have a page I am working on which requires the value of a ddslick created drop down box be chosen in order to submit. The drop down is functioning, the value when selected passes to the target page which I am parsing the POST values with PHP. However, I am having a issue validating this ddslick drop down box. To make sure a value was chosen before submitting.</p> <p>Here is the select box that I have:</p> <pre><code>&lt;select name="backing" id="backing" class="ddslick-select"&gt; &lt;option value=""&gt;Select Back Style&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="red"&gt;Red&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="orange"&gt;Orange&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am using this code to get the backing value:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $('#backing').ddslick({ showSelectedHTML: false, onSelected: function(data){ alert(data.selectedData.value); } }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I submit it, the $_POST value of #backing is passing. However I am having a issue validating it to make sure a value was selected.</p> <p>In the form I have a submit button, and I validate the Quantity and the Back style via this onsubmit function:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="#" class="btn btn-cart right" onclick="javascript:return validateCart();"&gt;Add to cart&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is the Javascript function, the Qty is validating but the drop down with ddslick is not. If I remove the class="ddslick-select" from the dropdown which turns it to a normal drop down box, the validation works fine.</p> <p>Here is Javascript function for ValidateCart():</p> <pre><code>function validateCart(){ var error = ""; if(document.getElementById("qty").value == '') { error += "You must select Quantity\n"; } if(document.getElementById("backing").value == '') { error += "You must select a Backing Design\n"; } if(error !== '') { alert(error); return false; } else { document.productorder.submit(); } } </code></pre> <p>My question is, how can I modify what I have now to validate the drop down box?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

    1. COIt looks like when you instantiate ddslick it completely removes your <select> element. I would set a hidden form element to the value of the ddslick selection in the ddslick onSelected handler.

    2. COJames, could you show me a example of how this would be implemented with the code that I have?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
