Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2
Select builder
The Select builder adds a <input type=select/> tag to one or more pages in the model.
You can use a Select builder call whenever you need to present a user with a list of choices or options from which they can select one or more items.
Quick tips
- Submit the form after a selection
- You can associate an Attribute Setter with a Select builder call to process any onChange events. For example, you can set the onChange event for a select box to submit the form by adding an Attribute Setter builder call to your model with the following input values:
- Page Location
- Set the Page Location to be the same Page Location value for the Select builder call.
- Attribute List
- Enter onChange for the Name. Enter this.form.submit() for the Value.
