    Creating dynamic drop down with multiple fields ?

    in JavaScript

    Posted

    Thank you for your reply. The code in the link provided works very well in a html file. But Magento uses .phtml files. This particular file has no <head> section, and due to this, it does not update the second dropdown, remaining empty with the default message "Please select one of the above" - as in the link you sent me. I hope you can help me identify where to add the code in the .phtml file. The default file is as following:

    Hello, I am new to this forum, and I really hope that here I will find all the answers that I am looking for. I want to create a Magento based website, with a custom feature. It will be something like http://www.smartbox.com/us/. For this, my customers will need to activate their gift packages online. For this I need a custom java script that will add two dynamic drop down boxes. I will add the javascript code to a form, which will be sent to e-mail, together with the activation code and customer contact information. I will make an example for the dynamic dropdown here: First dropdown: 1. Culinary / 2. Getaways / 3. Spa & Wellness. The second dropdown will be dynamic. My example will be here:

    • If my customer chooses 1. Culinary, the second dropdown will have 1.1. Restaurant A / 1.2 Restaurant B, 1.X Restaurant X
    • If my customer chooses 2. Getaways, the second dropdown will have 2.1. Getaway A / 2.2 Getaway B, 2.X Getaway X

    I would like my dynamic javascript to work with text only. This means that I don’t want to complicate it with a mysql connection and neither with json. Can you provide me with an example code for a dynamic dropdown with text selection only? Thank you in advance,Alex
