I have a PHP page that currently has 4 years of team positions
in columns on
the page.
The client wants to select
the players
in positions and have first, second and thrid choices. Currently
the page shows 4 columns with sets of combos for each position. Each combo has a full set of players
in it and
the user chooses
the player he wants from
the combos. On submit
the player positions are stored
in the database.
However,
the client now wants to change
the page so that when he selects a player
in a year and position then
the player is removed from
the combo and can no longer be selected for that year. I've used a bit of AJAX but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts/suggestions.
The page is currently quite slow so they want it speeded up as well.
The page layout is currently like this
POISTION YEAR1 YEAR2 YEAR3 YEAR4
1 COMBOC1 COMBOC1 COMBOC1 COMBOC1
COMBOC2 COMBOC2 COMBOC2 COMBOC2
COMBOC3 COMBOC3 COMBOC3 COMBOC3
2 same as above
COMBOC1, 2 and 3 all currently have
the same players - when a player is selected it needs to be removed for all combos below it. I was thinking of starting by changing
the page design and having text boxes for
the players and a single player select under each year like this:
POISTION YEAR1 YEAR2 YEAR3 YEAR4
1 <PLAYER><POSITION><CHOICE> ...
[TEXT
BOX CHOICE1]
[TEXT
BOX CHOICE2]
[TEXT
BOX CHOICE3]
2 ...
Then I only have 1 combo
box for each year to worry about - I do however have
the same problem of refreshing
the combo
box and removing
the player that has been selected, and I'd prefer to do it withough a page submit.
Sorry for
the long posting - cheers
