Problem with onchange

Hi everybody

i have 4 select .

Select1
Select2
Select3
Select4

select1 populate select2
select2 populate select3
select3 populate select4

All works great but when i have alla my selects popolated if i select a value in the select1 only the selct2 re-populate and Select3 and select4 display a wrong value because they don't repopulate

If i reselect a value in the select1 all other select must close to permit a repopulate from the first select

Is there a solution?
thanks for help

Sorry for my bad english ;)

You need to add a Populate List From Array behavior and Set Selected In List behavior for each child list to the onLoad event of the body tag.

I try this but don't work :(

<body
onload=" WA_setSelectionsInChildList(MM_findObj('country'),MM_findObj('state'),0,0,false,': ')"

onload=" WA_setSelectionsInChildList(MM_findObj('state'),MM_findObj('city'),0,0,false,': ')"

any help?

You can only have one onload statement:
<body
onload=" WA_setSelectionsInChildList(MM_findObj('country'), MM_findObj('state'),0,0,false,': ');WA_setSelectionsInChildList(MM_findObj('state'),MM _findObj('city'),0,0,false,': ')">

In addition to the Set Selected in List, you also need to add the Populate list from array behaviors to the onload event.

Sorry Jason but for me don't work :(

this is my body tag

<body onload=" WA_setSelectionsInChildList(rst_stati2_WAJA,MM_findObj('select'),MM_findObj('country'),0,0,false,': ');WA_setSelectionsInChildList(MM_findObj('country'), MM_findObj('state'),0,0,false,': ');WA_setSelectionsInChildList(MM_findObj('state') ,MM _findObj('city'),0,0,false,': ');WA_FilterAndPopulateSubList(rst_stati2_WAJA,MM_findObj('select'),MM_findObj('country'),0,0,false,': ');WA_FilterAndPopulateSubList(rst_regioni_WAJA,MM_findObj('country'),MM_findObj('state'),0,0,false,': ');WA_FilterAndPopulateSubList(rst_provincie_WAJA,MM_findObj('state'),MM_findObj('city'),0,0,false,': ')">

my select are
1) select (populate country)
2) country (populate state)
3) state (populate city)
4) city

if i choose all the select all work great but if i re-select a country this re-populate only state and city display old wrong city.

Thanks so much for your help ;)

You need to add populate list from array behaviors for the city to the onchange event of the country list to reset the city list to nothing.
