Chained Selectors

Anon

Hi,

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to build chained selectors, or drop down lists that rely on other drop down lists.

So when a user clicks on a drop down list, the second drop down lists changes with the correct info.

there is a tutorial for it at zend: http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/drop-down.php

and that works..but i need 3 drop downs and i don't know how to adapt the tutorial to suit 3 drop downs..

thanks in advance..

I am also looking for this..
I need the ability to make 3 dynamic cascading dependant select boxes.
Getting the data from 3 seperate MySQL tables, (each with a 'code' to match up with the code from the previous selection).
and the possibility to make a DEFAULT pre-SELECTED set (all 3 boxes have something already in them) based on data it gets from a 4th MySQL table.

I already have one that works, but it 'REFRESHES' every time you change one of the boxes.
(does not use chained selectors..)

I HAVE seen it done without refreshing..
any by the way, anyone who says "it worn't wortk because PHP is server side and Javascript is client side" is full of baloney.. as I mention .. I have a working version..which I will me MORE than happy to share with any real PHP/MySQL/Javascript coder who can help us solve this problem and needs this code.

Thanx,
-Matt

Hey,

I gave up..I don't know javascript..so i modified the page to suit the chained selector tutorial. So until i do learn javascript and go back to this problem, im afraid i can't help you...one day though, one day...

Mike,

So much work for such a small box..
kind of strange, my working example ( the refreshng one) is a few hundred lines of code. when you look at the page you only see 3 timy little select boxes..hehe
Every says, "yeah that looks simple, I dont see what the big deal is.." then I show them the code and watch them faint. hehe

ah well..(sniffle, sniffle)

Thats ok..
Thanx for replying though..

Obviously I'm WAY late on finding and inquiring into this thread, but Matt.. would you still be willing to share your code regarding the three (refreshing) cascading select boxes?
