A hidden form element to store the value of the second select box? Use javascript to update a hidden form element in the original form, that way when you submit the form you will have the newly selected element. Sounds kind of strange though. What if you on change Combo 1 submitted the whole page, then prepopulated all of the form element with what the user has already typed. So I go to this form, type my name city state, then select a country, the form is then automatically submitted via javascript, the page re-appears with what I typed still available for me to edit, now I have a second combo box to choose from. Choose a different country, the page re-submits and I have different values in Combo 2 Robert Zwink -----Original Message----- From: Dezider Gora [mailto:gora@wittmann.sk] Sent: Monday, May 07, 2001 3:54 PM To: PHP General Subject: [PHP] Bound comboboxes on form I want to create two bound comboboxes for selecting cell operators within a range of available countries. I want it behave like this: Combo 1 will consist of list of available contries -> user selects a country and the second combo will requery the database and show the list od of all available ooperators in this contry. I've searched the phpclasses and found the class called "linked_select", but I'm having problems with it. So I'm thinking about embedding and iframe which will contain only the second combo and requerying will be done replacing a a source url when user selects a country from first combo using a javascript onChange event. Now here's my question. Is this doable? If yes, how do I get the value from the second combo into original form for submitting? When I create an iframe from within a from, will the value be submitted with the form or not?
