oops, maybe I read your post wrong.
If you are looking at setting all the selects to the same option try
something like this:
Don't know how you have your selects named now but if they are in order
like:
MySelect1 OnChange="resetlists(1)"
MySelect2 OnChange="resetlists(2)"
MySelect3 OnChange="resetlists(3)"
...
MySelectLast
because on the last one there are no more below it to change??
<SCRIPT>
Function resetlists(start){
Var SelectName = "MySelect" + start;
Var next = start-1;
Var SelectNext = "MySelect" + next;
While (next < MaxnumSelects){
control = 0;
while (control< document.form.[Selectnext].options.length){
if
(document.form.[Selectnext].options.[control].value ==
document[formname][SelectName].value){
document.dform.Workplans.options[control].selected = true;
}
control++;
}
next++;
}
}
</SCRIPT>
Something like this might work.
Look it over, it's written on the cuff so , will ;o) have errors
but should get you pointed in a direction, hopefully.

Subject: Re: -OT- Javascript and combo boxes
the general rule for selecting an option in a combo box is:
document.formName.selectBoxName.selectedIndex = n
where n is your number (remember, the first option is 0)
In your case, i'd guess you want to store the names of your 30 combo boxes
in an array, and add a function for onchange into each <select>, which loops
over the array, setting eavh value appropriately (which would be
this.selectedIndex...passed as an argument) :)
you can contact me off-list if you need any help with it if you'd like.
