auto submit

[Anon]

Hi there,

Does anyone know of a way to populate a drop down list based on the selection of another drop down list? - without using Javascript.

E.g first one is product type, user selects jackets so the second drop down list is filled with all the descriptions for jackets.

I know the basic technique of making a page call itself - but I wondered if there's a way to submit on an action from the first drop down.

I'd appreciate suggestions/pointers. I'll probably come up with a different solution if I can't keep it server side you see :o)

Thanks

Auto-submit can only be done via a client-side script, as the submit begins from the client. So javascript it is. Or flash.

easiest is using OnChange='document.form.submit()'

not javascript free, but why avoid it?

Ok thanks to the two of you - it confirms what I thought.

Kevin: I always try and avoid it so I have total control over how the scripts work. In this instance though it will fundamentally alter my design idea so I'll probably javascript it amyway.

Thanks
