Improve installation (database choice)

Hi all,

in order to add [Bugtracker] ticket 1460: Customize form installation depending on database engine, I have a question and need advices.

If I have many database engine available I can choose on of them. If I choose sqlite I don't need to fill host, user and password fields. How can I do that ?
1) with a piece of javascript by hiding theses fields when javascript event onChange is fired on select field.
2) I reload form (like language select) and remove field server side
3) I simply add a notice in regards of theses fields to say they are not required for sqlite

You have to notice you can simply not fill them and it works !

My preference choice is 1) but it can be a problem for some people. Personnaly I didn't like that javascript event on select form. I used to fill form only with keyboard using tabs to change field and it doesn't work well on forms with that mechanism !

Your opinion ?

Re: Improve installation (database choice)

option 1 is my favorite and I wonder with which browser it may not work by using keyboard. I'm pretty sure makes it work anywhere, don't you think?

Take care of IE ...
A change event on a select is not handled like a click. IE8 seems to have problems.

I propose to have a tab-like list. Clicking (please note) the tab allows us to show/hide fields accordingly in a consistent way through all browsers.

If you use jQuery to show/hide fields, there will be no problems...

Again, with IE8 and a Change event, there will be a problem. I did have one when trying this solution one month ago.

This problem may have been corrected on jQuery 1.4.2...
