drop down options

Hi kramirez,

Absolutely you can do that. Here are two articles from the Learning Center about programming for List and Combo fields that should help you out-

what if i want to have just one field for my ship via menu?

SHIP VIA
01 UPS
02 FEDEX
03 CON-WAY TRANSP.

this option is just in one combo field.

Example: if you choose 01 UPS , the ship/via menu will only show 01

SHIP VIA
01

Hi kramirez,

Not sure what you mean... those articles show how to create one field that is a drop down list of the different shipping methods- the user picks one then another single field can be populated with 01, 02, or whatever you want it to be. Read those articles- I think they explain it fairly well and there are downloadable PDFs with code you can examine to see how it is done.

If that is not what you meant then I guess I don;t understand your post.

Hope this helps,

Each shipping method we have has a corresponding code. 01 is the code for UPS, 02 for FEDEX. The code together with the shipping method should be shown on just a single field.. what i want to happen is, lets say you chose 01 UPS, only the code which is 01 will be shown and not 01 UPS.

is it still confusing?

Hi Kramirez,

OK- I see now. You want the user to choose from the drop down list and then have the value change in the same dropdown field. I've never seen that particular use before and it could be quite confusing to the person filling it out.....but it should be possible to do with a custom script that will simply change the value shown in the field once the data is comiitted (user makes a choice and exits the field).

Hope this helps,
