Cannot figure parent and child columns

Cannot figure parent and child columns

Just bought Data Bridge, stumped by Dynamic Dropdowns.
I am trying to sort parent and child through one table, a list of soccer teams and their divisions) (table attached as screengrab).

I have sorted the recordset PARENT to list Divisions (field = TeamDiv) using

SELECT DISTINCT TeamDiv
FROM teams
ORDER BY TeamDiv ASC

and this brings me up a list of the six divisions

Therafter I am stumped as to how I bring up a child list of all the teams in that division.

I followed the tutorial as best I could and have a form on the page with PARENT and CHILD lists in a form.

Can you tell me

a/ what selections I should make to create the Dynamic Array
b/ what I should select from the options on the Populate From Array behaviour

(when I have tried various times the latter keeps saying that the form is "undefined" which seems wrong so I am assuming I have gone wrong before this point.....

Have attached the page if that helps....

basically I want the parent field to show the six divisions and, when one is clicked it shows the list of teams (field = TeamName) that correspond to that division....?

Thanks, as always, for your help guys

in the parent list, you are using the league name column, but you mention the TeamDiv?
<option value="<?php echo $row_Parent['league_name']?>"><?php echo $row_Parent['league_name']?></option>


also the Parent recordset looks nothing like what you say in your message

anyway, you have the child recordset. In the create dynamic array behavior, set the parent ID to league_name (or use TeamDiv, but only if that is the column being used as the value for the parent list, as it stands right now, you are using league_name as the value for the parent list, so in the create dynamic array, it should be used as the parant ID column)

for the child ID and child name, use the team name column


in the populate list from array behavior, set the parent list to parent list and the child list to the child list.
