i want to autofill some column based on id in add forum

[Amit Shah]

i am confused on the same - add form dose not have any id.. so how you plan to set values .,.and on what basis?

[dhoni223]

i have one table with id and other table with price if i type id or select it from dropdown it should autofill the price field

[Amit Shah]

Steps to achieve the same:

 

1. Have to write a script in a JS file which will handle the on change event for the drop down (the source element)

2. In script - make Ajax call to retrieve the price based on the value of selected element.

3. Write a action in controller to retrieve and send back the price / output to the request

4. In the success function for the ajax call - set the value of the field with the element retrieved from the ajax request.

 

1 more important info - add the js in action using set_js function ...

and in the js - call for window.onload function and not $.ready - the $.ready will fail...

 

That's the way u do it..

 

Happy GCing :)
