Here is my problem. I want to make a webapp that will basically take
the work out of finding what tool works for what situation. There are
5 factors that go into tool selection. 1)Material Group, 2)Insert
Radius, 3)Insert Type and Size, and 2 others that I can't remember
off-hand. There are probably about 1000 different scenarios that I
have to code for..(there are several blank table cells and it's not
setup as you might imagine, there is a lot of overlapping), and I
desperately want to avoid making a gigantic conditional statement. I'm
afraid that I really have to provide a picture of what I'm doing here,
so I will do that. Here is the link.
http://www.bigkaiser.com/temp/weirdtable.jpg You only see 3 of the 5
factors on this page, and the other 2 have to do with whether this
table or one of many other tables (not pictured) will be used.
So, now that I've confused everyone. That's my table. What's a good
way to go about programming that sucker in so that people don't have to
do all the "work" involved to figure out what tools they need. They
should just be able to choose selections from 5 dropdown boxes and get
one tool back. A tool is something like "10.655.600".
Thanks for whomever tries to come up with a solution to this poorly
explained problem. :)
