Javascript and <SELECT> onchange

[carlg]

I have an 2 HTML selects
something like this

<SELECT>
<OPTION>id 1
<OPTION>id 2
<OPTION>id 3
</SELECT>

Then there should be another <SELECT> that only has the options of what is selected by the first select.

For example if the user selects id 2, I want to query the database and make the 2nd select only be valid options for id = 2.


The 2nd select is dependant on what is chosen in 1st select. But 2nd select info will come from database.

How do I do this?

I am using PHP and jscript

Thanks

Click the FAQ button on this page and look up the section "dynamic listboxes!" I think there's 3 faqs there that cover this very topic.

But what about when the values for the SELECT are coming from the database and not hardcoded in?

Since they're coming from the database, that doesn't have a whole lot to do with javascript since it's a client-side language. However, if you want to use AJAX to pull the values dynamically from the database as the first <select> is changed, then you should probably post this question in that forum: forum1600
