Hello Everyone!
I'm starting to realize the project I'm working on is going to have a high demand for AJAX type integration. Most notably with the forms that need to be filled out by the user.
A great number of forms are used to enter "one-to-many" types of related data into the database. (ie., one shipment will have many items)
I would like the user to be able to enter all the information on one form instead of being required to enter the "one" part of information and then each subsequent item on a new form.
What do you think is the best way to get to this? I'm thinking each form item will have "array" names (I use PHP). So instead of <input type="text" name"item" /> it will be <input type="text" name"item[]" /> which fails XHTML validation, but it's a necessary evil.
Does anyone know of any prebuilt script out there that will create more form items as each "line" of the form is filled in. Preferably that will autocreate a new "name" for the form item with the array position (ie., "item[1]", "item[2]", etc..)
Which script library would best suit my needs? I also have the need to perform autocomplete input boxes, and I am currently using a version of JQuery for that.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

You need to create an input element dynamically. You can either use DOM methods or innerHTML. Here's one possible way of doing it which you could adapt.
Great. I will take a stab at what I need to do with this.
Thank you.

I recently saw the tail end of a "Continuous forms" discussion, but not
enough was available to see if this will be a PITA repeat question. Sorry
if it is.
On a form with its Default View set to Continuous Forms, I need to catch the
event when the repeating section iterates for each record in the underlying
table. I have buttons on the repeating section which will get their
captions from the current line in the table, or which will...

Hi everyone,
Please let there be someone out there who can help.
I have two BOUND combo boxes on a continuous form, the second being
dependent on the first. I have no problem getting the second combo to
change depending on what values the user selects in the first box, it's
just that every time the user changes the first combobox, the second
combobox FOR EVERY RECORD goes blank.

Thanks in advance... I have a form displaying the results of a query in
a continuous form style. I want to be able to double-click on the key
field of the form (a textbox, in this case a AssetID) and use this to
populate the AssetID textbox of another form. Any ideas on how to link
these?
Thanks!

Searching the net I've found a simple technique to add row numbers and alternate colors (for the even and the uneven row) to a continuous form.
1st step: Create a textbox, send it to background and select the first color.
.ControlSouce =fRowNum(False)
.Name = RowNum
2nd step: Add the following function to the form module: (for row numbers)
Public Function fRowNum(Reset As Boolean) As Long
Static I As Integer

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
