Michael, great script! This has helped me a great deal with a project I am working on that required a long list of data and no server-side scripting. One thing I’ve been trying to do is get it to accept a URL as the value of the option so that the selection in the second drop down is a link to an external site. Any direction on how I could do that? Thanks!

I would be happy to assist you and your group with getting your system perfect, but I am not going to develop the entire system or part of it for you.

If you send me a copy of the code you have already completed in trying to get your system working, I will be happy to point you in the right direction to get it finished.

Hi Shaun - I have managed to fix the bug (I think) please download the new code, or give my demo a test in Safari to see if it is truly working across the board.

Hope this fix sorts you out.

sorry, had another quick question.

As a test, I wanted to see how the values passed on form submission. I created a plain old form with method=GET to see and nothing is coming across. Am I missing something?

hey thanks for the quick response!

it does not work as well in the newest version of safari 3.2.1 (5525.27.1)

does this have anything to do with it? http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/faq.html#anchor21

anyways, thanks again. this is some great work!

Thanks Shaun - I have been meaning to create a fix for the Safari bug (which indecently also exists in Google Chrome) for a while now.
Your post is the reminder I needed - I will put some time aside shortly to fix it.

Hello and thanks alot for all the hard work. There is a problem though with safari. It will not allow the form fields to be populated. I just noticed I have a system update (and safari is included) so I will report back if this fixes the problem.

current safari version: 3.1.2 (5525.20.1)
