Hello,

I am thinking of purchasing the web form builder but had a question first I can't seem to find, is it possible to create a drop-down list with dynamic information? For instance I create a registration form that saves data to a mysql database. I want to build another web form that uses a drop down list that will display data from a particular column in that mysql database. is that possible? I have done this in php alone, but am having trouble doing this with coffeecup.

Thanks!

Yes, it can be done, but you'd have to edit the code outside the program. Other users here can probably help you more, I'm not really a 'coder', but I know they say it can be done. It's just a lot of work. :P

You'll need some jquery and php to accomplish this plus a little altering of the forms html.:) I'm still working on how to best handle IOS7.:rolleyes:
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
