Hi Mailing List,
When one defines the visual interface to a tool, we can specify HTML components like
dropdown menus, text fields etc and we place those specifications into the XML file
associated with the tool. Is there a straightforward way to incorporate any sort of
dynamic behavior to the tool configuration visual interface?
For example lets say for a certain parameter, options A, B and C are dependent on a
selection of another parameter, for example, type 1, and options D, E and F are dependent
on that parameter with a selection of type 2. If a user was to select type 1 I would like
the dropdown menu to display only A, B and C, and D, E and F if type 2 was selected. This
is pretty straight forward with a browser scripting language like javascript but its
unclear how to plug it into the current schema.
Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve this functionality?
Thanks,
Matt Goyder
