I'm looking off of this site to make a multiple drop down: Roshan's Blog
And most of it is working, I'm just having a problem with the 3rd drop down box.
(Dropdown1: Clients, Dropdown2:Location, Dropdown3:Zone)
On my page so far, if I look at the source, after selecting the first dropdown(Client1), the second dropdown statement says:
<select style="width: 150px;" id="add-event-dialog-location" name="add-event-dialog-location" onchange="getZone(Client1,this.value)">
Which is what I need, but now, when I click on one of the options in the second drop down, it is not placing through the getZone() script. The 'zonediv' is not changing, and I'm not sure if the rest is going through or not. If I load the getZone.php by itself and place in my own GET statements into the URL, I get results, but I can't get them within the page I'm calling the dropdowns from.
I'm probably just missing something small, but I've been looking at it so long, that I just can't figure it out.
The HTML:
<select style="width: 150px;" name="add-event-dialog-client_name" id="add-event-dialog-client_name" onchange="getLocation(this.value)">
<?php
echo "<option selected='selected' disabled='disabled'>-Client Name-</option>";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT client_name FROM spc_clients");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<option value='".$row['client_name']."'>".$row['client_name']."</option>";
}
?>
</select>
<p id="locationdiv">
<select style="width: 150px;" name="add-event-dialog-location" id="add-event-dialog-location" disabled="disabled">
<option>Select Client First</option>
</select>
</p>
<p id="zonediv">
<select style="width: 150px;" name="add-event-dialog-zone" id="add-event-dialog-zone" disabled="disabled">
<option>Select Location First</option>
</select>
</p>
Both of the JS Functions:
function getLocation(client_name) {
var strURL="display/getLocation.php?client_name="+client_name;
var req = getXMLHTTP();
if (req) {
req.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (req.readyState == 4) {
// only if "OK"
if (req.status == 200) {
document.getElementById('locationdiv').innerHTML=req.responseText;
} else {
alert("There was a problem while using XMLHTTP:\n" + req.statusText);
}
}
}
req.open("GET", strURL, true);
req.send(null);
}
}
function getZone(client_name,location) {
var strURL="display/getZone.php?client_name="+client_name+"&location="+location;
var req = getXMLHTTP();
if (req) {
req.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (req.readyState == 4) {
// only if "OK"
if (req.status == 200) {
document.getElementById('zonediv').innerHTML=req.responseText;
} else {
alert("There was a problem while using XMLHTTP:\n" + req.statusText);
}
}
}
req.open("GET", strURL, true);
req.send(null);
}
}
getLocation.php:
<?php
include 'connect.php';
$client = $_GET['client_name'];
$query="SELECT location FROM spc_clients WHERE client_name='$client'";
$result=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
?>
<select style="width: 150px;" id="add-event-dialog-location" name="add-event-dialog- location" onchange="getZone(<?=$client?>,this.value)">
<option selected='selected' disabled='disabled'>-Location-</option>
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<option value='".$row['location']."'>".$row['location']."</option>";}
?>
</select>
getZone.php:
<?php
include 'connect.php';
$client = $_GET['client_name']; echo $client;
$location = $_GET['location']; echo $location;
$query="SELECT zone FROM spc_clients WHERE (client_name='$client' && location='$location')";
$result=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
?>
<select style="width: 150px;" id="add-event-dialog-zone" name="add-event-dialog-zone">
<option selected='selected' disabled='disabled'>-Zone-</option><option><?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

</option>
</select>
