I have a dynamically generated form (cgi created by reading a pipe-delimited file). It currently has various displayed and input fields for the user to input quantites and then email an order to several people. This works fine!
I now need to be able to change one of the input fields (currently text type) to bring up a box that would allow several different quantities to be entered for the same item (Item is listed once, but is sold by foot and rolls - I need to know how many feet go on each roll). I am planning to include the roll number and a quantity multiple times in the second window - with the window popping up when the user enters the field on the main form. The data entered in the second window will need to be returned to the main form so that all of the information can be totaled and emailed with the form. Please let me know if this is not clear I can try to explain more fully.
Is any of this possible? If so, where should I start - is it a cgi, html or javaScript problem?
Any advice would be appreciated.
