Help With Populating List on Page Load Update Page

I put this on my onload in the body after following your tutorial but it does not work.
What did I miss?

onLoad="WA_FilterAndPopulateSubList(rssubCats_WAJA,MM_findObj('CategoryID'),MM_findObj('SubCatID'),0,0,false,': ')"

you need a set selected in list behavior was well to set the selected item in the parent list.

Follow Up

Do I set that to the sub category drop down?

3/02/2015 11:22 am | #4 Jason ByrnesWebAssist

you need to set it up for the parent list, looks like the parent list is the CategoryID

Parent List Follow Up

So I need to remove the array from the parent list first?

Or just have both?

there are no unload attributes for the body tag:
<body >

you need to add the set selected in list behavior and the Populate list from array behaviors to the body tag.

Still having issue

Not sure I understand Jason what to do, can we discuss via a private meeting?

in the Dreamweaver tag selector, select the body tag.

in the behaviors panel, apply the Set Selected In List behavior to set the selected item in the parent list to the onload attribute of the body tag,

Then add the Populate list from array behavior to populate the child list, also to the onload attribute of the body tag

then add a second set selected in list behavior to set the selected item in the child list. again, this is applied to the unload attribute of the body tag.
