texte = Donovan, I'm a bit confused about what exactly you're trying to do? Do you have a working example I could look at? I'd be happy to assist, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what the end result should be? Do you want multiple select lists, with a depenency relationship? Are the colors and sizes stored in a database or are you going to hard code them? Maybe something like AJAX or Matt Kruse's DynamicOptionList.js is what you're looking for? http://www.clearnova.com/ajax/ http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/lib/dynamicoptionlist/ Marc Donovan Brooke wrote: > Donovan Brooke wrote: > >> Marc Thompson wrote: >> >>> OK, I couldn't stand it.

Donovan, I'm a bit confused about what exactly you're trying to do? Do you have a working example I could look at? I'd be happy to assist, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what the end result should be? Do you want multiple select lists, with a depenency relationship?
