PHP or Javascript question?!?

[shamrox]

Ok. Not sure where this belongs, so hopefully someone will assist.

I have 3 dropdown lists on a webpage. All 3 are populated via php to a mysql database.

I'd like to have the 2 drops DISABLED Or even invisible unless a certain item is selected from dropdown #1. How do I do this?

Example. If Item B is selected from drop #1, then Drop #2 would appear and you could make a selection from it.

If Item D was selected from drop #1, then drop #3 would appear and you could make a selection.

End result, all 3 drops would pass their value on Submit.

Enough info? Thanks for the help.

If the 2nd and 3rd dropdowns are to be present on the page but inactivated, you're talking client-side scripting.

PHP would only be involved to the extent that the HTML stream it sends to the client would include this client-side code.

You could use javascrip to do an on select command, use that data to generate the other lists you want. I guess you could go about this by building a switch for all the case for the 2nd drop down and have different outputs based on different queries depending on what value was submitted before.

onchange, not on select, sorry... google it
