ksmatthews Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I want to create 2 select menus - one static (Menu 1) and the other (Menu 2) populated according to the selection made in Menu 1. Data will will be pulled from a CSV file. Menu 2 will not have any values in it until an option from Menu 1 has been selected. Then, the options available will be limited based on the Item 1 selection. PHP must be used to read the CSV file and to capture the data (using arrays) I met this problem before and my approach then was to call a function using the onChange event for Menu1 ... <script type = "text/javascript">function update_select(obj){ window.location.href="./call_stats_main.php?choice=" + obj.value;} </script> onchange="update_select(this) This would reload the page passing a parameter to the URL (?choice=) I could then use $_GET['choice'] to capture the selected value and dynamically populate Menu 2 according to this value. It is the onchange event that triggers the population of menu 2. I would like to know IF THERE IS A BETTER WAY, other than using ajax ?
