Create an element that behaves like a trigger

[joezart]

HI

I need to create a form with sub forms, sub forms will be hidden and will shown depending on the choice made by the client from a dropdown list or checkbox element

In other to activate the sub forms I will use javascript actions so...

Question
How do I create this dropdown list or checkbox that do NOT save data into DB's table?

I just need this element to activate a subform... NO NEED to save choosen data.

Well, you can't really show "sub forms", you can hide/show groups using the build in Javascript FX on your trigger element. Those groups could be one-to-one list joins, which would store the data in a separate table.

As for saving the data, no, there is no way to avoid that. We will save the values of the dropdown or checkbox you use as the JS trigger. But of course you don't have to "do" anything with the data, and it isn't going to chew up resources.
