dynamic combo boxes - drop downs

[leahyj]

Regarding faq333-3656

Using the first method...

I have two dropdowns that retrieve data from a database.

One holds state information and the other holds county information.

When I change the state information the form submits and grabs the counties for that state. Thats works fine.

And when I change the county the form submits, and the state stays the same in the drop down, which is good too. And the request.form("statelist") value is correct.

But when I go back and change the state to another state, the request.form("countylist") value stays as the previous county from the previous state selected.

The request.form("countylist") value should change to "select county" or index value zero ( the first value in the option dropdown.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Post in the javascript forum. Easiest way to do this is using an xmlhttp request triggered by an onchange event handler.

If the form submits the first updates your counties, it ought to work the second time as well. Can you post the relevant code?
