Refreshing Lists/Menus

[Anon]

Hello Everyone!
I'm programming a PHP script that fills two HTML select fields called SELECT1 and SELECT2

I need to refresh the content of the SELECT2
depending of the content of SELECT1 without jump to another page....that is something dynamic
I've tried JavaScript, but my project is being programmed in PHP, so I don't know JavaScript

Could someone help me?
I'll appreciate your help

Thanks a lot!

Yes, you can do this. Just put SELECTED in the option tag, ie:

<select name=SELECT1>
<option value=1>One</option>
<option value=2 SELECTED>Two</option>
<option value=3>Three</option>
</select>

This would produce a dropdown with the second value preselected.

Do it the same way as you do with Javascript, but use PHP to populate your arrays instead of doing it statically. Did it in ASP recently, PHP would be no big deal at all.

Sorry, i misunderstood your original post. You can't do this with PHP, you'll have to use javascript. Something like this:

<select id=select1 OnChange="select2.selectedIndex=select1.selectedIndex;">
<option value=1>one</option>
<option value=1>two</option>
<option value=1>three</option>
</select>

<select id=select2>
<option value=1>one</option>
<option value=1>two</option>
<option value=1>three</option>
</select>

Right, now if you select the first element in the first select menu, the first element in the second menu will automatically be highlighted... ie, whatever you select in the first dropdown will be selected in the second dropdown too.

Hopefully, you can figure out what you need to do now. Also the above code won't work in netscape.
