> Hi there everyone,

> I'm having a strange problem, I have a form with 2 fields, 1
> is for points
> (Weightwatcher points) and one is for recipe names. If you
> select points
> (IE: 1-3, 3-6,6-9,9 and above) it works perfectly, displays
> the recipes and
> allows you to select a new points range from the dropdown.
>
> Next to it, on the same form, you can also select by recipe
> name and ignore
> the points instead selecting by the recipe name - this works
> fine, you can
> select 1, view it and then select another.
>
> The problem comes when you select a recipe from the dropdown
> and view it,
> then decide you want to select points instead - the points
> won't work once
> you have selected a recipe. Can anyone see anything below
