Choosing information based on another combo |
|
|
I have 2 lookup tables. I want to be able to filter the data that shows in
the list of the second based on the choice in the first. Is there any way of
doing this without writing asp. I'm new to sharepoint and don't know asp or
such. |

There's no way to do this without doing some pretty funky javascript
(dynamically switching pages and such). SharePoint doesn't involve asp
at all and uses asp.net instead.

You can do this using FrontPage 2003. |
If you use the Data View webpart for the lookup, you can set the first in the
style of a dropdown listbox, and edit in a little bit of code using FrontPage so
that it will fire on selection and filter a second Data View webpart.
I am currently using three Data View webparts on a page, the first shows the
categories defined on the documents in a doc library, the second displays all
the documents of the selected category in the doc lib, and the third displays
the selected .mht file in an inline frame. The one sticking point I have left
is getting the category list to be a list of the unique categories, not a list
of the category defined for each document.
The relevant instructions for doing this are to be found in the FrontPoint blog:

I will write all this up in a pretty doc when I have the last kink with the
unique categories figured out.

Well, I keep that page in a separate doclib named RSS Feeds, and when I want to |
see the list of files, I go to that doclib and double click on its name. Up
comes the page and I can work with the lists and files.
I also put a link to that page in the Links list on the site home page.
I do not know for sure, but you may be able to copy the controls from the page
you built it on to the page you want to see it on, using FP2K3.

Thanks so much for all the info. I created a page with my two combos and it
filters fine. Now, how do I use that .aspx in sharepoint? I need to add
