OK I know I should know this, but my brain has stopped (nothing new).
I have 2 list boxes and I want one to effect the other, in a one to one relationship.
So for example, if I have list 1> a. b. c. d. etc
this links to list 2> a. b. c. d. etc
but you can then "override" list 2> if need be.
Does that make sense? (told ya my brain was fried).
If so can you help..
Cheers Az

Sorry, the override thing lost me. Wanna make it a bit more clear to see if I can help?
And do you want to do it using ASP, that is choose something on List1, submit the form to have List2 behaving accordingly, right?

Yeah,
OK as an example if you had countries as list 1, and timezones as list 2.
For a lot of countries there is a one to one relationship. Ie in the UK you are always GMT. In the US however you can have several timezones, so you need to be able to "override" or change the selection in list 2.
Does that explain it better?
Cheers Az

Ok. You didn't tell me if you wanted and ASP based solution, that is, on changing List1, submit the form to the same script and set List2 contents depending on the option chosen for List1.
This is easy to do. I think you probably could also do it with a client-side script. But it would be a harder to code solution...
What's gonna be?

I'm not sure to be honest.
ASP I guess.
Would you be thinking Javascript otherwise?

I guess the alternative would be Javascript, indeed, although I would need much study to code it myself  .
The issue with the ASP is that you have to submit the form, thus reloading the page to have the contents of the 2nd list changed. I can live with that (have it in my site). Just don't know if that's OK with you.
Where will the values for the lists come from? A DB?

More than probably a DB, but they can be within the ASP Page.
I don't mind about the refresh of the page..

So it looks easy. Just create the first list in such a way that, on selection, it will submit itself (you can look at the Snitz code, because it's done that way).
For the second list, just create SQL to get the contents for it depending on the value chosen for the first list.
Do you need a coding sample for this. It can be lengthy, but can be provided (I guess I can just copy my own code).
If you need code I'll need a little bit more time to provide it. I just need to leave for 3 or 4 hours, but I'll get back to you then...

If you email me your email address I'll send you a ASP file implementing this. It will probably be easier that way.
