dynamically populating a select box depending upon selections in another select box
Dear sir,
I am trying to populate a select box depending on multiple selections in another select box.
I find the dependent select box does not populate at all.
while it does populate if the parent select box is a single election box and not multiple.
i want to use javascript so that for population i do not have to go to the server.
I am using onchange event to execute the function.
Some one please help.

pcg Hi pcg,
Please refer the following link to solve your problem, the link will show you how to do it step by step,
http://ralphie.perlmonk.org/mosix/rev_3d1.html
But you need to change the following code, just take the HTML parts,
$$r->print("<form name='abe'>"); $$r->print("<center><select name='abe1' onchange='dosel()' size='4'>"); $$r->print("<option value='1'>Ball</option>"); $$r->print("<option value='2'>Strike</option>"); $$r->print("<option value='3'>Batted Foul</option>"); $$r->print("<option value='4'>Batted Fair</option>"); $$r->print("</select>"); $$r->print("<select name='abe2' size='4' style='width:200;'>"); $$r->print("<option>Subcategory</option>"); $$r->print("</select></center><br>");

Hong Thanks ocean.
This has helped. I am now able to populate the select box2 depending upon the selection in Select box1.
My problem is when I submit the form for processing at server, the population of box2 is not available at all.
I find perhaps view state does not carry the items populated in box2 or their selection to server on submit. Thus the values of box 2 are not available to the function buttonsubmitclick at server to process. I am able to do it in a very round about way of creating some text boxes, filling those with the selected values of the box2 then processing these textboxes values in the buttonsubmitclick function.
Pl suggest the solution.
Thanks in advance.

Populate a text box based on dynamic dropdown box selection.
I will try and explain this as best as possible as I am pretty green to asp.net. I created a data set that pulled in an employee id (primary key), employee name, their department, location, and extension. I made the employee name a dynamic dropdown list where when the user chose a name, the departmnet, location, and extension boxes would be automatically populated. I am just not experienced enough to know how to complete this process and I have looked all over the web for an answer, which led me here. Hopefully there is someone who can help me accomplish my task, or a...

Second SELECT-box doesn't show the selected value as SELECTED
Hi! I usually find what I look for in the other threads, but now I've spent two weeks searching and I still can't work this out, even though I'm sure the solution is easy:( Why doesn't my second dropdown-list show the selected value Arb (which shows in the url-window as for example myPage.asp?Ar=1976&Arb=1987) as selected? It manages to use the Ar-variable for the first SELECT-box, but the second box always has the first querystring-value selected, as if Arb="". I've also tried using a second sql-query, doing exactly as with the first SELECT-box, without success. Is ...
