Creating drop down in wcm form.

supriya — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 20:12:32 GMT

Hi,I want to creat a drop down in my wcm form. I was looking at the wcm examples, it has sample code(press_release.xsd) which creates drop down like:<xs:simpleType name="category"> <xs:restriction base="xs:normalizedString"> <xs:enumeration value="Product"/> <xs:enu

Have you put the namespace at the top of your xsd

Try that and it should work

Ok this may sound really wierd. But you need to have atleast 5 enumeration values to generate a drop down. Otherwise it generates radio buttons.

So to make this work you need to add another two values to

<xs:enumeration value="FullTime Employee"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Contractor"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Temp to Permanent"/>

Hope this helps.

Everyone:

If you want to force either radio buttons or a drop-down regardless of number of entries, you can use the appearance attributes of FULL for radio buttons and COMPACT for drop-down.

There's an example of list options in our source tree in /ROOT/projects/web-client/xforms/unit-tests/list.xsd. This is one of multiple example forms. These will be added to our 2.2 Enterprise package and be documented on our wiki this December. There are lots of great examples in this; for now, please check out our source tree.

HI! All

I am also facing the similar problem. I have genrated a drop down klist in my xsd file through enumeration. The drop down gets generated but i am unable to select any value apart from the default value. If I dont give any ddefault value then I am getting mandatory field required error.

Please provide help on this if any one has done the similar thing. Please see the code below:
