Just came across this chunk of code and it still holds up very well. The only question I have is, does anyone know how to get one of the items to be 'selected' from an OnLoad event? For example I would like 'Fruit' selected when I get to this page (along with one of the corresponding slections - like 'Orange' - in the secondary list box).

Any advice?

This article really helped. I too had the problem with netscape making the drop-down box show only 1 item. I got around this by ensuring I never had less than 3 items in the combo box (I just filled it with blank option tags). Then I used some simple form validation to ensure that they didn't select a null value. Not the best solution - but it worked.

Do you have the code for this example in one file? I have tried to get this to work and I am getting eroors from Netscape relating to include files.

I'm realatively new to scripting and love the results of this script, but am having trouble getting list two to generate information to list three. Wondering if anybody knows of a "debugger" or some other way tofigure out what I'm doing wrong?
