ComboBox Handlig?

[mrkamran]

Hi,
I have a Combobox in my php file and there is another combobox which will fill based on first combobox. For example First ComboBox has Main Category and Second ComboBox has Sub Category, When i will select an option from main category then sub category will fill on the base of main category. I want to do this without submitting the form.
Thanks

Hi If you use Dreamweaver there is an extension, admitadley costs Euro 7.50 but it works well

you will find it <a href="http://www.tecnorama.org/document.php?id_doc=62"> Here </a>

you would create an AJAX function to fill those boxes based on a parameter....

and you pass that parameter when you select something with the first combobox
for instance
in pseudocode


onchange of combobox1
fillBox2(box1.selectedIndex)

Hi,
Can you please send me complete code to do it becuase i have no knowledge about AJAX. Can i do it with java script?
Thanks

AJAX is basically just a set use of javascript functions
it's more of a strategy than a programming language

no I'm not going to write the code for you.
search the forums for AJAX...you're sure to find an example to work from
not necessarily for combo boxes but at least some good learning material
try this thread for example
http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,115581.0.html

if you really need someone to write it all for you...post in the Freelancing board

Yes This is possible with the JavaScript combined with PHP

Eh... that doesn't help very much. Especially when two other people said it is possible...
