Filtering a drop down list

[PeterJ386]

Hi,

I am very much a novice and got through by trial and error so far.

I am creating a form in which I want clients to select (in the first column) the type of product they own (lets say A,B,C,D,E....etc)

In the 2nd column is a list of solutions so prod 1, prod 2, prod 3 etc

Based on what they enter in column 1, I want my list in column 2 to be filtered to show only the solutions applicable to their product.

If they enter product 'G' : list in column 2 filters to a choice of prod 3, prod 5 or prod 7.

If they enter product 'D' : list in column 2 filters to a choice of prod 1, prod 3, prod 4.

Can this be done? If so, is it possible for anyone to explain how to do it...bearing in mind my novice status

Would be hugely grateful if anyone is prepared to give it a go.

Thanks in advance.

Peter.

One way to do this would be to only add items to the 2nd dropdown list after (and depending upon) the selection from the 1st dropdown list. Using Javascript to find the selected item (selectedIndex) then using addItem to only populate the 2nd dropdown with the items you want to appear there for selection.
