New Function: convert the "complex" input/select hybrid control to a plain old select

description

From this thread: http://spservices.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=211968

This could be a standalone function and it would also make sense to have it available as an option for the child column in SPCascadeDropdowns.



yes, indeed -- adding the capability to SPCascadeDropdowns to convert the "complex" input/select hybrid control to a plain old select -- would be super!

and i think would grow the popularity of SPServices by a good measure. these days i was reading tons of blogs / articles explaining the most diverse and complex solution to get rid of the input/select, and reading a lot of peaople going crazy to solve this problem.

as of now, i got the problem fixed by using the 4steps approach i described before in my post, but for sure having to customize pages and web parts etc is not the easy and elegant way

In v0.6.2ALPHA2, greatly improved code and tested in 2007 and 2010 with various combinations of dropdowns.

CarlosT:

Take a look at my blog post today: New SPServices Function: SPComplexToSimpleDropdown. Finally got around to building something to help with this.

When you struggle with this stuff, consider using the Discussions here or the forum at Stump the Panel: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/viewforum.php?f=7

This is a request I get occasionally, but not frequently. It's on the list, but not with high urgency.

Having spent a significant part of the last couple days working with setting the value of a complex dropdown, I heartily second this notion. Those things are the bane of any SharePoint user's existence.
