    Hello,
    I wish to display a list of 1 to 30 rows based upon a visitor’s selection criteria. If ‘RI’ selected, the 5 counties returned. If ‘MN’ then 87 counties. These are two extreme examples.
    Never do I want to just display something as there is only 2% chance the list will be correct

    I am asking the visitor to enter the code in a modal or widget, select search, then display the page of data.

    Is this possible? How is it done?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Unfortunately, I can’t really think of a solution here. You might want to take a look at the TablePress Extensions like https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-columnfilterwidgets/ for a filtering with a selection, but for more complex filtering needs, you will likely have to look into using a custom solution based on the API functions of the DataTables JS library from https://www.datatables.net/ (which is the JS library that TablePress uses).

    Regards,

    Thanks for the quick response!
    Are you expecting the data to typically be static prior to display?

    Hi,

    well, TablePress tables are “static”, yes. And TablePress then prints fixed HTML code to the page. What you do after that in the browser with JavaScript can be considered “dynamic”.
