franknu Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Ok, I have a java script that has a drop down menu where a person select a state and then all the cities for that state show up right next to it. my problem is that the script it is making the webpage runing slow, or sometimes is telling me that the insternet explorer is running slow because of it and i was wondering if there is a better way to do this with PHP and where should i start Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53897-chain-selection-for-drop-down-menu/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 How many State/City combinations do you have? If it is a relatively small number then there's probably a problem in your javascript. I'd suggest using just javascript and fixing the code. If you have a very large number of options then AJAX would definitely be the way to go. So, how many states are in your list and what is the average number of cities per state?
