It looks like an older version of Nate Weis' 2 selects related custom tag. I'm not sure what you mean when you say you need to use it in an edit mode however.
But from what I understand, what you've described is how the tag is supposed to work. You first run a query, choosing the columns you want displayed. Then you assign names to the selects (Name1, Name2), the values taken from the CFQuery columns, and the display names to use as well (ie., for the first select values of userID and display using user name; and locations and zipcodes for the names and values for the second select box). What the tag then does is populate some javascript arrays, then uses the first array to populate the first dropdown. Then depending on what is chosen in the first dropdown, the second one becomes populated based on the results of what you choose in the first select box. Selene Bainum of webtricks.com has a good example and discussion of how it works along with some downloadable code: http://www.webtricks.com/sourcecode/code.cfm?CodeID=18 For more detailed explanation, just google on related selects. hth, larry -- Larry C.

This tag works great but when I need to use it in an edit mode I just can not get it to pre populate both boxes because the second drop down is built on the fly. If anyone can provide some insight It would be greatly appreciated. -- Dan Vega [EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed to cfcdev.
