JS dynamic dropdowns - one works, one doesn't

JS dynamic dropdowns - one works, one doesn't

Not WA Dynamic Dropdowns which I don't think are still supported, but I have used another option I found. It obviously does work, as I have one instance of it working in a page, but not another, and I can't see why. Hopefully just me being blind from looking at it too much, and had it every which way except the right way.

I have attached the relevant files etc below.

Thanks.

The WA Dynamic Dropdowns is still supported, it is a part of Data Bridge.

I cant really give much support for a third party dynamic dropdown, To be honest, I Don't even know what i am looking for in the files you provided, I don't know which one works and which doesn't. I don't see how any one of them could work, I don't see any sort of onchange event for any select list on the page you provided.

I am not familiar with the third party script you are using, so really cannot offer a lot of help.

i think i see the probelm, in connMiradaDropdown2.php

$choice2 = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['choice']);

$query = "SELECT * FROM categories WHERE Category='$choice' ORDER BY CategoryShort ASC";


should be:
$choice2 = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['choice']);

$query = "SELECT * FROM categories WHERE Category='$choice2' ORDER BY CategoryShort ASC";


basically, in the first line you are creating the $choice2 variable, but you currently have the query set to use a variable named $choice, which does not exist, it is named $choice2
