Hi

First of all thanks so much for this great script! Its been really useful, and i have used it 2-3 times on sites.

My problem is that I have 4 dependant menus, but they are showing all the items, until its parent is selected. Please see my problem page at:

[buyfarnorthnz.com] - scroll down, and they are used for 'Site Category'.

Here is my code:

$sc_ajax_select_boxes = new sc_ajax_select_boxes();
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_a1','sitecat_a1','', 'parent_id=0');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_a2','sitecat_a2','','');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_a3','sitecat_a3','','');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_a4','sitecat_a4','','');

$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_b1','sitecat_b1','', 'parent_id=0');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_b2','sitecat_b2','','');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_b3','sitecat_b3','','');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_b4','sitecat_b4','','');

$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_c1','sitecat_c1','', 'parent_id=0');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_c2','sitecat_c2','','');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_c3','sitecat_c3','','');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->add_select_box('categories','rec_id','descr','rec_id',0,'sitecat_c4','sitecat_c4','','');

$sc_ajax_select_boxes->link_select_boxes('sitecat_a1','sitecat_a2', 'parent_id',0);
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->link_select_boxes('sitecat_a2','sitecat_a3', 'parent_id',0);
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->link_select_boxes('sitecat_a3','sitecat_a4', 'parent_id',0);

$sc_ajax_select_boxes->link_select_boxes('sitecat_b1','sitecat_b2', 'parent_id',0);
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->link_select_boxes('sitecat_b2','sitecat_b3', 'parent_id',0);
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->link_select_boxes('sitecat_b3','sitecat_b4', 'parent_id',0);

$sc_ajax_select_boxes->link_select_boxes('sitecat_c1','sitecat_c2', 'parent_id',0);
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->link_select_boxes('sitecat_c2','sitecat_c3', 'parent_id',0);
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->link_select_boxes('sitecat_c3','sitecat_c4', 'parent_id',0);

$sc_ajax_select_boxes->place_jscripts();

$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_a1');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_a2');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_a3');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_a4');echo '</td></tr> <tr><td class="KT_th">Extra Category 2</td><td>';

$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_b1');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_b2');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_b3');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_b4');echo '</td></tr> <tr><td class="KT_th">Extra Category 3</td><td>';

$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_c1');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_c2');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_c3');
$sc_ajax_select_boxes->show_select_box('sitecat_c4');echo '</td></tr>';

Hi,

I am sorry but i cant understand the problem. Your site seems to work fine.
By the way nice site

Hi Panos, thanks for taking the time to look at my problem, and for the compliment on the site!

If you go to [buyfarnorthnz.com] and scroll down to 'Site Category: ' you will see 4 linked select boxes. The first has 'SELECT FIRST' as the default, the other 3 underneath has '...then select' as the default. Click on one of the '...then select' lists, and you have the option of choosing all items from the database. This is the problem, you shouldn't be able to choose anything from theses three lists until the 'SELECT FIRST' has been chosen.

If you choose any option from the 'SELECT FIRST' menu, and then select again the default option as 'SELECT FIRST', the linked boxes behave as i would want them to, by not being able to select anything.

Hope that makes more sense? Any help much appreciated.
