SelectBox Content

[alsaffar]

Hi guys,

How can make my select boxe's content dynamicaly changed?

If I have (lets say 2 select boxes), and thier values are taken from the DB by while loop. How can I get the second select box values that are related to the first select boxt by just selecting a value from the first select box.

(i.e. the first select box have (Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar) and the second select box is empty until I select a value from the first select box, (lets say I select Porsche) then the second select box automaticaly will have (911, 968, 959) values!!!

How can I achieve that?

Use a multidimensionalarray. Get all marks ie: ferrari, porsche and jaguar as the first element, and fill the next element with the types.
$car['ferrari']['testarossa']
$car['ferrari']['maranello'] etc.

Or, and that is i think not what you want. Use javascript to reload the page with the correct arguments after selecting ferrari. On the reload, query the db and get the types matching the car.

If there are not to many records, i would go for the first option so you dont have to reload a page.

In both cases you have to use javascript. mcvdmvs

you have to do that in JS ... or else you need to refresh submit the first select and fill the second. Anikin
