Improved Category Checkbox Feature

[athomsen]

Well actually blinkdt it should be the following, you forgot the first change

//insert checkbox and label
// -- checkbox --  
if (debugOn) txt += ('<font class="txt">' + i + '</font>\n');
txt += ('<input type="checkbox" id="chkbox' + i + '" ');
if (uid[i]==null || uid[i]==""){
	txt += ('name="chkbox' + i + '" ');
	txt += ('onclick="checkCategory(this, \'' + cat[i] + '\');" ');
}
else 
{
	txt += ('name="' + uid[i] + '" ');
	txt += ('onclick="checkDeps(' + i + ');checkCategory(this, \'' + cat[i] + '\');" ');
}
txt += ('onMouseOver="qdh(prog[' + i + '],desc[' + i + '],Style[0]);" ');
txt += ('onMouseOut="htm();"');
txt += ('/>\n');
// -- label --

BTW blinkdt thanks for laying the ground work for the category feature. I was going to make one from scratch until I heard you had beat me to it .

So... If a check box is unchecked the category is unchecked.

I am not getting this to work.

When I uncheck a box the cat check box still stays checked>>>

I am going to update the first post with all of the correct changes and then after I unpack a new copy of WPI and add in all of the changs I will post the files as well. Hold on...

Thank you I want to release a fixed version tonight.

Oh, you could have saved me the pain. I'm no scripter, you dah man! Keep up the great work, this is polishing up nicely.

My next mission is to make the category text clickable and to try to remove the rudundant (and sorry to say not so exact of a method) code to skip non checkbox inputs.

But now I must actually go eat something!

Found another thing:

The category selection box ignores exclusions. I have multiple versions of MSOffice on my disc and if I select the category right after loading WPI it selects ALL Office versions wich won't work during install...

here's what I have:

Office 2003 Basic

Office 2003 Business Contact Manager (BCM)

Office 2003 Small Business Edition (SBE)

Selecting Basic excludes both other Office versions

Selecting SBE excludes Basic but leaves BCM open for selection

Selecting BCM also selects SBE and excludes Basic

all of this is good BUT: if I select the category checkbox (Office) then ALL versions get selected!!! Man this is a pain... All I can do for you is test but I'm not really a coder (time to fetch myself a workshop I guess )

I may not have time at work today but when I get home I will start to work on this issue.

Keep the problems comin!
