Javascript Form Conditional Templates
|

Is there a way using javascript (or otherwise) one could have a form such that a different template is called depending on some of the variables used?
Just for example, if a person selects 'town1' from a dropdown menu, the form calls search.cgi&template=_search_results1 and if the person selects 'town2', the form calls search.cgi&template=_search_results2.

Yes, the could work. It's well outside what we usually recommend or support, but if you're comfortable with javascript and wanted to give it a try the code might look something like this:
- Give the town dropdown an id: name="town" id="town"
- Give the hidden template field an id: name="template" id="template"
- add an onchange event to the town dropdown:
<select name="town" id="town" onchange="document.getElementById('template').value = this.value + '.html'">
That will set the template field to the name of the town with .html on the end. eg: vancouver.html
If it was much more complicated than that you'd probably want to put that code in a function. Hope that helps! :)

Thank You So Much! The "town dropdown" name and id are set to lfield2_match; It seems to work and may be exactly the solution I needed. If there are any caveats you can think of, please let me know.
Cheers!
