For preserve code block see here:

xsl:sort must be in the apply-templates Tag!

For make an insert in the secondary datasource if it's a xml document (in C#):


IXMLDOMDocument2 oDomgetHRGBisher = (IXMLDOMDocument2)thisXDocument.GetDOM("getHRGBisher");
IXMLNODE Test = oDomgetHRGBisher.selectSingleNode("Root/RepeatingNode");
IXMLDOMDocument ddladd = (IXMLDOMDocument)thisXDocument.CreateDOM();
ddladd.loadXML("<item>" + textbisher + "</item>");
Test.appendChild(ddladd.selectSingleNode("/item"));

Hi,

I think the best is use a secondary datasource that is updated when an new entry is made!

For the problem of sorting you can add an xsl:sort in your view after have made a preserve code block for that don't erase your xsl:sort!

Dynamic DDL values

nukkumatti — Mon, 20 Mar 2006 09:22:09 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have a drop down list which contains many values. One option is also to choose "other" in case the required part is not in the ddl yet. A text box pops up and you can enter the required part there.
What I want to know: Is it somehow possible to update the ddl, so that the next time the form will be opened to send a new request, the entry made into the "other text box field" is populated in the ddl. Do I need to use secondary datasource for the ddl content to realize something like that. Another important point is that the values in the ddl are in alphabetical order and also should be in order after the update.

Thx in advance
