Ok, I realized my goof-up. I should've been using [loop-code], which I am
now, and now I get all the choices I should be getting. My question now is
how do I use this to retrieve all the proper fields for Shipping Address on
checkout.html? This is the drop-down code:
[calc]$Config->{NoSearch} = ''[/calc]
[if type=data term="shiptos::username::[data session username]"]
<SELECT NAME=shipto onChange="this.form.submit()">
[loop search="fi=shiptos.txt/st=text/sf=username/se=[data session
username]/op=eq/co=yes/rf=store_number,Name,Address_1,Address_2,Address_3,Ph
one,Fax"]
<option value=[loop-code]>[loop-param store_number] [loop-param Name]
[/loop]
</select>
[/if]
I would really like to have the page update when the user picks a store from
the drop down, and all the fields would be filled in. I can't use
[loop-param xxx] because the loop is closed. I'm experimenting with [if]
but with no success yet. Any thoughts?
TIA!!!
