Update Multiple Records - Bindings value drop down empty

I'm following the multiple records update tutorial from Frank Jay. I can go through everything just fine save for one issue... On the bindings values, the drop downs are empty so I can't select the value the record should be updated with. I've made sure to swap out the generic DreamWeaver repeat region for the WebAssist repeat region so that doesn't appear to be the problem. Page attached. Repeat region in question starts at line 392.

Your input tag isn't closed. You have:
<td class="WADAResultsTableCell"><input name="multi_publish" type="text" value="<?php echo($row_WADAtbl_master['publish']); ?>"</td>

it should be:
<td class="WADAResultsTableCell"><input name="multi_publish" type="text" value="<?php echo($row_WADAtbl_master['publish']); ?>"></td>

Doh!

*Face palm* - Sorry for the wasted time. Should have more carefully checked the basics!

Hmm... that fixed that part but it's still not updating...

OK not wanting to be caught with another stupid mistake, I’ve gone round and round with this thing checking everything I can think of. After fixing the closing tag, I was able to select the proper value from the drop down menu. However, updating fields and pressing the button does not update the database. The animated processing gif runs, and the page is redirected (I have it set to redirect after the update) so I know it’s running the multiple update code.

I’ve gone through the tutorial 3x:
- Verified data assist repeat selection, verified sequential numbering is working by checking code view
- Verified proper settings in the Update Multiple dialogs including individual bindings
- And yes, I moved the Update Multiple PHP code above the recordset request.

The only thing different I’ve done is set the repetitions to ALL rather than a limit, as I want the entire recordset displayed on one page regardless of length.

How do I go about debugging further?

The server behavior was supposed to create a hidden form element in your repeated region to keep track of which record to update. It appears that wasn't created. It might have something to do with the original problem while inserting the behavior since it only creates it the first time.

It is probably easiest to correct the problem manually at this point. Just add this somewhere inside your repeated content:

<input type="hidden" size="1em" name="WADA_RepeatID_id_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" value="<?php echo($row_WADAtbl_master['id']); ?>">

That did it!

Thanks Ray. Just to note for anyone else that finds the above helpful, it should be <input type="hidden"... as you don't want the ID field updatable.
