My background looks like this: lots of web development but using scripting

A procedural mentality is very very bad for this sort of thing. Here's the
trick. When you use WO to create a popup list do you spend time
trying to figure out how to convert the selected string into something else?


Here's a contrived example. I have a bunch of pets with associated owners.
I create a popup list to display the pets' names. When a pet's name is selected and
I hit submit I want to display the owner's address. How would you go about
doing that?



Arturo,

I too am new to WebObjects and suffer pretty much the same background as Alice. I think I understand your comment, above, but it would be helpful if you could clarify by providing the "answer". I know how I'd go about it in a procedural language. But, not being sure about the OO answer, I'm not sure my guess would get me any further along.

How would you suggest it be done?

Drew
