Question regarding dropdowns

[Linkan]

Hello, I have two dropdowns, they are not dependent but they both pull data from a DB.
The first one is -CARS- and the second is -COLOR-. I want to make sure that if no -CARS- is selected -COLOR- should jump back to -COLOR-. Value for both -CARS- and -COLOR- is "-".
This means I dont want to post -CARS- "GREEN".

Thanks for a great forum.

Try this...

function doThis() {
  var cars = eval("document.forms[0].wl_cars");
  var car = cars.value;
  var colors = eval("document.forms[0].wl_colors");
  var color = colors.options[colors.selectedIndex].value;
  if (car == "-" || color == "-") {
    cars.options[0].selected = true;
    colors.options[0].selected = true;
  }
}

Hope this helps,
Jessica

Can do this also:

function tryThis()
{
if(cars.options[colors.selectedIndex].value == "-&quot
{
colors.options[0].selected = true;
}
}

And call this method on onChange of Cars Drop Down.
