Newbie question for practical use

Newbie question for practical use

Hi,
The getting started guide helped a lot to setup a parent, child and grandchild selection. I added another button for "Add to List" to the Grandchild dropdown because I have children with and without siblings. This works perfectly and I can populate the target List with elements from the Child and the Grandchild List.
But what then?
I need the ids from the target list to be stored in a relational n->1 database-table, where the 1 represents the product.
Or, expressed differently: I want to bind one product to several categories. Where the categories are put and listed in the target list from the dynamic dropdown.
How do I process those elements further?
Is there a documentation with examples?
Any hint on this ?

Have you looked into dataAssist and the "Manage relational table" server behavior. It sounds like that might be what you are looking for.

yes, but where is the missing link?

Maybe I can't see the wood because of all the trees. But how can I process, collect or store the results of the target table ?

The manage relational table server behavior will work in conjunction with the target list in order to do all of the inserts... or if the relationship is simple enough you may even be able to use the insert multiple records server behavior.

Still not sure how this works

I have read and re-read multiple times "dynamic_dropdowns_gsg.pdf". There is an entry called "Common Examples" which is quite obvious. I then go on with "manage relational db". Its quite straight forward so you would expect everything is working as it should but nothing is inserted. What do I miss?
The dynamic dropdowns work as expected. I can add items to the list which are shown.
here is the code:
interesting that there is no option field in the List:
<td>
<select name="Target" size="10" multiple="multiple" id="Target">
</select> </td>
<td><input type="button" id="Move Up" onclick="WA_MoveSelectedInList(MM_findObj('Target'),0,0,0)" value="Move Up" />
<br />
<input type="button" id="Move Down" onclick="WA_MoveSelectedInList(MM_findObj('Target'),1,0,0)" value="Move Down" />
<br /> </td>
<td><input type="button" id="Remove" onclick="WA_RemoveSelectedFromList(MM_findObj('Target'),'|WA|0|WA|',-1,'0','None Selected')" value="Remove" /><br />
<input type="button" id="Select All" onclick="WA_SelectAllInTarget(MM_findObj('Target'),'|WA|0|WA|')" value="Select All" /></td>

Is this enough that someone could help me please?

Do you have a sample URL? The problem could be any number of places. The target list may not have options initially if it is populated based on the selection in the source list.

OK so I see a list being populated with a dynamic dropdown to find possible additions.

What is it that isn't working exactly? What is it that you are trying to do on this page? I don't quite know what I'm looking for.

What do you expect to happen? How would I know looking at that page what does and doesn't work? How could I tell if it worked?

I try to store both ids from product and categories in a table called p2c which holds not more than 3 fields. It should (multiple) insert several categorie ids (from the populated target list) and the product id from the first pulldown (select product).
This does not work.

I see. Since the problem is in the server functionality. It can't really be debugged remotely.

It sounds like you have a problem with how you are trying to insert the multiple records, but without viewing the actual code it is difficult to say what it might be.

Please try posting a support incident where you can share your files in a private forum. That might allow someone to understand where you are making the mistake.
