The dilema I have is this. I have created a form with 2 listboxes both listboxes are linked dynamically being populated by a mysql database. I have it setup to where the first listbox is category and the second listbox is subcategory. The contents of the second listbox depend on what was selected in the first. The way i am doing this is, in the form action property i specify php_self the method is set to GET and then on the first listbox I am using javascript to do onchange MyForm.Submit which gets the HTTP_GET_VARS and uses them in a sql query do determine which selection was made, to populate the 2nd listbox. My problem is that I also need to submit this info into a database but I don't want to submit it to a database until I click on the submit button. Does this make any sence. If you need me to clarify anything let me know.
