Dependent dropdown and Bootstrap Select-picker don't work together

Dependent dropdown and Bootstrap Select-picker don't work together

Hello all,
I'm updating a Databridge 1 website where I created a form with a dependent dropdown menu using the "CREATE array list" and "set selected in list" SBs.
Since this site uses Bootstrap-select (http://silviomoreto.github.io/bootstrap-select) I need to use it along webassist dynamic dropdown menu.
But it simply doesn't work.
The dependent dropdown menu work perfectly if I don't apply the select-picker class to the select "Punto vendita"; (see page index.php as in the readme.txt file).
But once I apply the class to the select field ("punto vendita") the dependent dropdown behaviour doesn't work anymore.
Unfortunately I can't use Databridge 2 for this site. I have no time to convert and test since I'm really under the deadline.

To get the idea of the problem, please load the pages specified on the readme.txt (private attachment).

The field with the problem are "tipo_punto_venduta_reg" and "punto_vendita_reg".

I'm trying to fix this in all ways but I'm not a good programmer.

Is there a way to make it work?
TIA
tony

I'd need FTP access and a URL to work on this. I've helped someone in the past with the same issue. The problem is that the bootstrap styled list uses a div or UL elements and hides the actual select list. When you change the select list value it becomes out of sync with the display so you have to add javascript to refresh or reset the list value displayed by bootstrap.

I can't seem to access that page since it has challenge-response authentication and the username and password you sent don't work.

I'll need to get FTP access to edit the page and I'll need to be able to browse the page in order to debug and fix the issue.

You need to refresh the list when you update the options. I was able to fix the problem by adding this to the code wherever you repopulate the list:

$('#punto_vendita_reg').selectpicker('refresh');

I found the answer by looking at the selectpicker documentation here:

Thanks very much, Ray.
Hope you are good there. Here in Italy it's getting a bit better.

Hi Ray,
there is only a glitch that I'm trying to iron out without success.
If WA server validation fails, the "punto_vendita_reg" select displays the value and not the label. If you display the select content it is empty.
There something wrong in the onload actions, but I cannot find the error.

You can get an idea filling the form and forcing it to not validate using two different email addresses. Even a wrong "Codice fiscale" would make it fail.
So, after the page load you would see the problem on the "punto_vendita_reg" select.
What can I do to fix this Last problem?

TIA again.
Tony
