that's good news

if I understand what you're saying, it's not what I'm looking for. what
I need is, when they select the office, immediately, the patchport
select switches to displaying only available ports in the selected
office.

I've done it with javascript, but not server side. in a carefully
controlled environment like this intranet I'm thinking more trips to the
server would be less good performance for the end user.

am I misunderstanding what you're saying? I'm really feeling in the
dark; I appreciate your help understanding this.
