Populating drop down menus

[mtgriffiths]

Hi All,

 

I have 2 drop down menus in my form. The first drop down menu will allow the user to select the football league. The second will be to select the teams in that football league.

 

There are 3 football leagues each with 6 teams. I would like to have it so that when league 1 is selected from the first drop down menu only the teams in league 1 are show....if league 2 selected teams from league 2 are shown.

 

Is this possible? If so could anybody help?

 

Thanks in advance

You could either do this using javascript...

or you can do it by using $_POST information.

 

if you use javascript...

When you click on something in the fist drop down, a second drop down box will appear to the right with all the teams from that certain league.

 

if you use $_POST...

When the person selects a league, you can make it so that they have to submit just that information. Then you can use php to create a select box with the teams in it.

 

Both methods are equally "hard" (well not for some ppl) however i would recommend the javascript method (using ajax)

 

reply if u need any help or what method you would like to use...

Okay im just gunna make a quick tutorial on this page (personally i find the FAQ tutorials too hard to understand plus they use complicated methods when it could just be sooo simple!)

I have looked at the tutorial in the FAQs section but found it abit complicated to understand.

 

My skills in php mysql are not the worst but certainly not the best.

 

Any help would be great
