list selection alters contents of next list

[mcjwb]

I was wondering if anyone knows how to have a form (for simplicity) with 2 lists and when the user makes a selection from the first list, the contents of the second list changes. The contents of both lists is held in a mysql database.

Ideally this needs to happen without the need for the page to be reloaded.

Can this be accomplished with just php (and mysql) or do I need to use some other scripting language (eg javascript)?

Cheers for your time.

You'll need clientside script (Javascript) to achieve this, not php.

Difficult, I imagine. The easy part would be to fill in the js with php values, but to set rules for the dependencies would really be a trick.

Cheers for the responce, had a feeling it wouldn't be an easy one to solve!

Might go and try and find a javascript forum and see if I can borrow some code🙂

Thanks
