Hi,
I have a screen that requires a fieldset or a field to be able to edit
2 sets of values for the same attribute. If I have a 'name' attribute,
I might want a public facing value to be 'Fred', but I might want an
internal version to be 'Agent X'. The idea is that, given a suitable
boolean flag (isJamesBond or something) that the 'public' version be
displayed by default, but if the user has the right permission, when
he holds down a certain key combination (eg Ctrl-Shift-A) and mouses
over the field, the 'hidden' value appears/slides into place. If he
holds down Ctrl-Shift-A and clicks on the field, the hidden field
becomes active and he can replace 'Agent X' with 'Agent Y'. When he
finishes with the field (onBlur, tab away etc.) the public version of
the data (Fred) slides back into place.
Any ideas on how to achieve this in WO? Or better, does someone have
something that already does this?
Ajax007Revealer in Wonder? :-P
Some fancy custom JavaScript and AjaxInPlace (which really does exist
in Wonder) should be able to do this.
