Problems with interdependent form!

Hello I needed an interdependent form for a website. Since i don't know any JavaScript this has been pretty tricky and i still have some problems. This is the code I'm using: JavaScript:

	<script type='text/javascript'>var ss2Values = [  // 'Please choose a subject'  ['Please choose a category'],  // '3D Printer'  ['Darwin', 'Huxley', 'Mendel', 'Printrbot', 'Prusa Mendel'],  // 'Home'  ['Bathroom', 'Bedroom', 'Decorations', 'Furniture', 'Home utilities', 'Household items', 'Kitchen', 'Livingroom', 'Outdoor'],  // 'Mechanical'  ['Gears', 'Nuts and bolts', 'Tracks and bogies'],  // 'Fun'  ['Games', 'Ornaments', 'Toys'],  // 'Electrical'  ['Games', 'Ornaments', 'Toys'],  // 'Educational'  ['Biological models', 'Chemical models', 'Mathematical', 'Physical models']];window.onload = function(){  var ss2 = new xSubSelect('sel20', 'sel21', null, ss2Values, ss2OnChange);}function ss1OnChange(s0, s1, s2){  alert(	s0.options[s0.selectedIndex].value + ' / '	+ s1.options[s1.selectedIndex].value + ' / '	+ s2.options[s2.selectedIndex].value  );}function ss2OnChange(s0, s1){  alert(	s0.options[s0.selectedIndex].value + ' / '	+ s1.options[s1.selectedIndex].value  );}function xSubSelect(sSelId0, sSelId1, sSelId2, aValues, fnOnChange){  var s0 = document.getElementById(sSelId0);  var s1 = document.getElementById(sSelId1);  var s2 = sSelId2 ? document.getElementById(sSelId2) : null;  if (s0 && s1)  {	s0.onchange = function()	{	  var i, len, val;	  // clear existing options for s1	  len = s1.options.length;	  for (i = 0; i < len; ++i)	  {		s1.options[0] = null;	  }	  // insert new options for s1	  len = aValues[s0.selectedIndex].length;	  for (i = 0; i < len; ++i)	  {		val = aValues[s0.selectedIndex][i];		s1.options[i] = new Option(s2 ? val[0] : val);	  }	  // update s2	  if (s2)	  {		s1.onchange();	  }	};	if (s2)	{	  s1.onchange = function()	  {		var i, len;		// clear existing options for s2		len = s2.options.length;		for (i = 0; i < len; ++i)		{		  s2.options[0] = null;		}		// insert new options for s2		len = aValues[s0.selectedIndex][s1.selectedIndex].length;		for (i = 1; i < len; ++i)		{		  s2.options[i - 1] = new Option(aValues[s0.selectedIndex][s1.selectedIndex][i]);		}	  };	  s2.onchange = function()	  {		if (fnOnChange)		{		  fnOnChange(s0, s1, s2);		}	  };	}	else	{	  s1.onchange = function()	  {		if (fnOnChange)		{		  fnOnChange(s0, s1);		}	  };	}	s0.onchange(); // first init  }}</script>

<?php	 if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {	   $subject_id = $_POST['sel20'];   $category_id = $_POST['sel21'];     $output_form = 'no';    } else {   $output_form = 'yes';  }   if ($output_form == 'yes') {	 ?>			<table>				<tr>					<td>						<form name='form2' method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">							<label for="sel20">Subject and category:</label>							<br />							<select id='sel20' name'sel20'>							  <option>Please choose a subject</option>							  <option value="3D Printer">3D Printer</option>							  <option value="Home">Home</option>							  <option Value="Mechanical">Mechanical</option>							  <option value="Fun">Fun</option>							  <option value="Electrical">Electric</option>							  <option value="Educational">Educational</option>							</select>							<br />							<select id='sel21' name='sel21'>							</select>							<p class="signup_mgrey_10px"><a href="request_category">My category is not there?</a></p>							<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" />						</form>					</td>					<td>					<img src="../images/upload_guide.png" alt="Upload your 3D model" />					</td>				</tr>	  			</table>			<?php   }     if ($output_form == 'no') {	//Write data to databse	$query = "INSERT INTO models (subject_id, category_id) VALUES ('$subject_id', '$category_id')";	mysqli_query($connection, $query)	  or die ('Data not inserted.');   }   ?>

The JavaScript part is from an example including 2 interdependent forms. So there might be code for both forms, since i don't know which parts i can delete. When i write to my database it only writes the category_id. The subject_id won't get set. I tried echoing out $subject_id right before writing the $query without any luck. Can anyone spot the problem? Thanks in advance.
