Can you explain to me exactly how you expect your arrays to work as they are currently? This will help you think your problem through. As it stands, your arrays make little sense.

Ok a dropdown comes up and you choose a person's name, then in another drop down you choose customer number,address,city,email and it is supposed to come up with the name, the data name and the data it comes up with the name and the variable name of the data but that's it.. does that help you ?

you can go to this link and see what is happening, its a link from an old course I took but I can still up load files and play with them

I understand what it is you are trying to do. I want you to explain to me what you think your current implementation actually does.

webdevdea · July 3, 2013

webdevdea · July 3, 2013

  <td>
    <select name = "cust_name">
      <option value = "DeAnna">069</option>
      <option value = "Joshua">088</option>
      <option value = "Eden">087</option>
      <option value = "Aubrey">2009</option>
     </select>
   </td>

  <td>
    <select name = "cust_info">
      <option value = "cust_name">Customer Name</option>
      <option value = "cust_addr">Address</option>
      <option value = "cust_city">City</option>
      <option value = "cust_email">email</option>
     </select>
  </td>
</tr>

Still having trouble getting my array's to associate, could someone give me a hint as to where I am going wrong?
