Hi all, We did 'smart' or conditional dropdowns in CF using a tag that we purchased from cftagstore.com called Related selects, it will allow you to do as many as you need. We are using it to do 4 related dropdowns but you can use it for 2 or 20 it's up to you. We found it easy to code.

You could also look on the net for a tag called something like two selects related, or three selects related if that would suit your needs better. But I find that method confusing. With ajax, you can tie the state dropdown to a simple javascript function that will directly call some ColdFusion code. So in your case, your JS function would send in the State, and then you'd run a DB query to find cities for that state, then return the data to the second select box. If you decide to go the ajax route, I really like ajaxCFC, but I've heard good things about MXAjax and JSMX. > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Kuo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 20, 2006 2:30 PM > To: CF-Newbie > Subject: smart drop downloads > > How do you make smart drop downs?
