Hi Maganizo,

You don't need php or mysql for this. It almost sounds like what you want to
accomplish is client side programming; JavaScript.

On you combobox/checkbox have an onClick event handler:
<input type="checkbox" name="No1" onClick="ClickOtherBoxes()">

Then back up in your <head></head> tags have something like this:

<script language="javascript">
function ClickOtherBoxes() {
   if document.formName.No1.value == "checked" { 
	document.formName.No2.value = "checked";
	docuemnt.formName.No3.value = "checked";
   }
}
</script>

If this doesn't help, try posting your code so that we all may take a closer
look at what you're trying to accomplish.

Regards,

Rob.Smith

Hie Everyone,
I have just subscribe to the list. i have been told that i will be sent a
confirmation message very soon. I have a problem where i have little time.
I suppose you could assist as i am waiting to confirm to the list.

i have several comboboxes and text boxes on my web page which i created
using php and mysql.

with the comboboxes, i would like to do the following:

1. when i select a value in one combobox, i want the values in another
combobox to change depending on the value i selected.
2.when i click a combobox it should bring up values depending on the value
in another text box.

i am new to php and mysql. i can do basic operations of course with both.

your help will be greatly appreciated.

regards,
