How to create Dependent dropdown

[gokulakannan]

Hai Friends,
I'm new to SugarCRM, i want to create a dependent dropdown.For example im having two dropdowns,
1) Customer Type
2)Customer Name
In the 1st options are (a)Engineering, (b)Polytechnic, (c)Arts & Science
2nd dropdown contains the name of the customer.
If i select customer type as Engineering then 2nd should display only the names of engineering colleges.


Thakns in advance

Have a look at Chapter 5 (pages 193-205) of the 6.3 Developer Guide. It's got explanation of Sugar Logic, and many code examples.

Depends on the error messages you received.

Take the exact text of the error messages, and google the Sugar Dev guide.
Also google the internet with keywords SugarCRM , plus the exact error text.
Google should find for you some pages that explain the cause of these errors.
Post back here your findings and questions/solution!

I see many people say this, but I haven't seen an example. If it is commonly done, then it would be great to see a common example that we could use.

Thanks!
