I have 2 dynamically created dropdown lists which are regions and officers.

i wish to compare the region selected to the region the officer is assigned to (onChange of officer), and if the region is not the same as the officer region then throw a warning...

Basically HOW do i capture the contents of the rs's chosen in the dropdowns to compare them?

tbl_regions: id;region_name;active_indr;

tbl_officerinfo: id;officer_lname;officer_fname;officer_region;

Alternatively, you could post the page back onto itself when the region is selected.

When the page loads, check to see if the Region form data is available - if yes, then dynamically build an sql string to select the associated officers.

Sorry, but I dont have the code.

no, it is local at the moment

the problem is that it has a lot of info to be put in it and to repost it/refresh it would lose all the info..
