|I have been reading this exchange and it has helped me a lot with a similar
| problem I have. I have one extra requirement, though. When the selection is
| made, is it possible to select the option value from a drop down list?
|
| This is an application for make-up classes in an acting school.
|
| For example, if a student selects IMPROVISATION as the class they want to
| make-up, then the value should show all the dates on which this class is
| available, preferably from a drop down list.
|
| Is that possible?
|
| Thank you in advance for your answer!
