    <p>I'm using the dojo FilteringSelect element together on a Zend form, but I cannot make it work as I want. I have a store with three fields <code>id</code>, <code>label</code>, <code>name</code>. Label will be used for the dropdown and should <strong>also</strong> be used for the search, while <code>name</code> should be used for te display inside the box. The problem is that I can't find a way to make this behavior work.</p> <p>Setting the <code>labelAttr</code> value to <code>label</code> works showing it on the dropdown, but the <code>searchAttr</code> attribute governs both the search AND the display on the input box once a value is selected. I need to search the <code>label</code> field since it is a collection of many fields, but display the value on <code>name</code>, is it possible?</p> <p>EDIT: @RichardAyotte The Dijit FilteringSelect widget uses a dojo.data.store, which is basically a javascript object, where each item is also an object with many parameters. You can set two special parameters on the store: <strong>labelAttr</strong> and <strong>searchAttr</strong> which will define a couple of behaviors. The FilteringSelect is tied to an INPUT box where you can search. If you click the box it will open the list of options, like a <strong></strong> would. Here it shows whatever you defined as labelAttr. Now, if you type on the box, it will <em>search</em> on the store, using what is defined on the <strong>searchAttr</strong> field. It ALSO used the value of label to be display inside the input once you select something from the list (you can check it here <a href="http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.9/dijit/form/FilteringSelect.html#displaying-rich-text-menu-labels-with-labelattr-and-labeltype" rel="nofollow">http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.9/dijit/form/FilteringSelect.html#displaying-rich-text-menu-labels-with-labelattr-and-labeltype</a>)</p> <p>What I wanted to do is "decouple" the <strong>searchAttr</strong> field into 2 different fields one for search and another to be used for display inside the input. AFAICT it is not possible though, and I will have to extend the FilteringSelect object</p>

    1. COIf I understand correctly, you want to have the ability to search one column while seeing the results of another. How can this work? As the user is typing, from which column are the partial results shown?

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.
