Hello,

Hi,

I have a form with two lists. One is populated with many options while the second is populated with only a single item. When the first drop-down list is changed, I call a PHP script sing AJAX to populate the second list. I also need to perform another task when the second list is changed but it seems not to work.

I think this is because even though my AJAX script populates the second drop-down list using pure PHP code, the second drop-down isn't aware of it. I've tries adding JavaScript code in the AJAX route to add options to the list but it's not working.

Does anyone have an example of how to do this?

This is being asked overe and over again. No problem.

You may want to try this forms class. It comes with a plug-in that does exactly that. It can load options in a linked select input depending on the value of the first input. The options can be loaded statically from arrays or dynamically from the server using AJAX. There are variants of the plug-in to load options from many different types of databases.

Here is a live example:

Here you can watch a tutorial video about this plug-in:
