clearing Drop down items with script

[Gavin Pollock]

Hey there,

I've set up 3 drop downs with OnAfterChange events, that when the value of
the next one's list is re-populated from querying Secondary Data Sources
which are web services... using the sample code I've found on the groups.

However, I think I need to clear the values of the children drop downs
because when I change a higher up level, the data remains in the lower ones.

How can this be done with script? I'm not entirely proficient with the DOM
yet!

Thanks,
Gavin

Have you tried creating a "RULE" (childdropdown = "") at the highest level?

Aha... got it. Thought I tried that, and it still wasn't working, but I
hadn't put the Rule on the 3rd dropdown as well. Now it's working fine.

Thanks!

message You should use a Rule instead of script. It's much easier.

Create a rule with no condition that set's the value of the next drop-down
list in the cascading set to "". Then that one has a rule that does the same
to the next one, and so on.
