Hi Graham,
put your relating values in javascript arrays
<SCRIPT LANGAUGE="JAVASCRIPT">
var newValueList1 = new array()
var newValueList1 = new array()
var newValueList1 = new array()
and so on...
<cfoutput>
populate your arrays....
</cfoutput>
function newPopulate(){
var selectOneObj = document.formName.selectBox1
var getit = selectOneObj.options[timeFromChk.selectedIndex].value
var loopCount = selectOneObj.length
for(var i = 0; i < loopCount; i++){
if(selectOneObj.options[i].value == getit){
var arrayVal = selectOneObj.options[i].value
document.formName.SelectBox2.length = 0
for(var j = 0; j < newValueList.length;
j++){
document.formName.SelectBox2.options[j] = new
Option(arrayVal[j],arrayVal[j])
}
}
break
}
}
</SCRIPT>
<form name="formName">
<select name="selectBox1">
<option value="newValueList1">department1</option>
<option value="newValueList2">department2</option>
<option value="newValueList3">department3</option>
<option value="newValueList4">department4</option>
<select>
<select name="">
<option value="selectBox2"></option>
</select>
</form>
I just wrote this but haven't tested it, but its certainly a step in the
direction your looking to go,
if you still have problems let me know,
Respectfully,
J

Subject: Select Boxes Populating another select box
CF-Talk,
I am looking for code that for an application that I am working on that
when a user selects a Department from an DropDown Menu, that it
automatically populates another dropdown menu based on what was selected in
the first select box. Is their a way to handle this. Currently I am having
the user press submit on the first select box so it can populate the second
select box to get the Department:SubDepartment value
