Hi,
I'm new in JavaScript programming, i'm stuck at this dynamic combo box.

I'm having a table with:
1. company
2. category
3. subcategory
4. app_cd
5. app_name

What I want is,
1. when I select company(1st combo), all the category for the company is pulled in 2nd combo.
And when I select category (2nd combo), all the subcategory for the company and category is pulled in 3rd combo.
And when I select subcategory (3rd combo), all the app_cd for the company, category and subcategory is pulled in 4th combo. Until the last one

I managed to do until the 3rd combo box pull value based on 1st & 2nd combo box value, But i did not managed to pull the 4th & 5th combo based on 1st, 2nd & 3rd combo value.

My 4th & 5th combo is blank.

I would appreciate if someone can help me with this. Thanks.

below is my code:
Code: 
<form method="get" action="budget_add.asp" onSubmit="return checkSubmit(this);" id=form1 name=form1>

I'm sorry, I really new to the web programming.

Can I know what do you mean by client-side source?

Thanks & Regards,

What you have posted is server-side code. You need to post the code that actually gets delivered to the browser - this is what you see when you view the source in the browser (i.e. client-side).
