Hello

This may be a HTML question but want to see if anyone could suggest on my need here.

I built a HTML input form with controls and when user selects his values and submits, those values store in a database as 1 record. Its working well. If user wants to enter another set of values (another record into database), he will run the HTML file again or resets the form and enters values. This is how its built for now.

I need suggestions on building a form like this. Assuming Region, State and City are 3 fields that go into database, and dash lines are text boxes, combo boxes or another input control, a form like this will help user to enter values and when hit Submit, values go into database as 5 records at one shot.

Region    State   City

------    ------  -----------
------    ------  -----------
------    ------  -----------
------    ------  -----------
------    ------  -----------

Submit


Please suggest.

Thanks

Since you already made it for 1 set of record. It will be easy to do for more than 1 rows. You need to name the text box as region_1, region_2, region_3, similarly for state state_1, state_2 and state_3, for city city_1, city_2 and city_3. On submit ensure all these 9 variables reach WebFOCUS. Then use loop to read these variables and insert into DB one by one.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Ram

Ram,

There is no need to give all row-elements an unique name; just assign for each region, state and city the same name per row and these variables will be index'd variables in WebFOCUS, see this post

Hello Fred

I just tried your example. Variables are getting read into amper variables ending 1,2,3 etc. which is good.
I also made changes to my MODIFY statement and this is working good. Thank u

Enigma - Are you using this as a way to build / maintain databases using MODIFY ? It's an interesting concept that I might like to explore, although we do have a MAINTAIN licence that should do it easier ....
