THIS THREAD IS RELATED TO PROVIDING CUSTOMERS WITH CONDITIONAL DROPDOWN BOXES.

While I'm at it, perhaps someone could assist me with my own issues
Ever since I upgraded I can't seem to get the dropdown for my sub-cats to work. The first set "category" works fine but the second "sub-category" lists the box and contains "Select SubCategory" but doesn't list any of the options. Here's the relevant part of the index.php:
Code: Select all
<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td style="text-align:right" width="150"><?php echo $hesklang['category']; ?>: <font class="important">*</font></td>
<td width="80%"><select name="category" onchange="javascript: dropdownlist(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);"<?php if (in_array('category',$_SESSION['iserror'])) {echo ' class="isError" ';} elseif (in_array('category',$_SESSION['isnotice'])) {echo ' class="isNotice" ';} ?> >
<option value="">-- Please select --</option>
<?php
if (!empty($_GET['catid']))
{
$_SESSION['c_category'] = intval($_GET['catid']);
}
while ($row = hesk_dbFetchAssoc($res))
{
$selected = (isset($_SESSION['c_category']) && $_SESSION['c_category'] == $row['id']) ? ' selected="selected"' : '';
echo '<option value="'.$row['id'].'"'.$selected.'>'.$row['name'].'</option>';
}
?>
</select></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
/* Can customer assign urgency? */
if ($hesk_settings['cust_urgency'])
{
if (!$is_table)
{
echo '<table border="0" width="100%">';
$is_table = 1;
}
?>
<tr>
<td style="text-align:right" width="150"><?php echo $hesklang['priority']; ?>: <font class="important">*</font></td>
<td width="80%"><select name="priority" <?php if (in_array('priority',$_SESSION['iserror'])) {echo ' class="isError" ';} ?> >
<option value="3" <?php if(isset($_SESSION['c_priority']) && $_SESSION['c_priority']==3) {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>><?php echo $hesklang['low']; ?></option>
<option value="2" <?php if(isset($_SESSION['c_priority']) && $_SESSION['c_priority']==2) {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>><?php echo $hesklang['medium']; ?></option>
<option value="1" <?php if(isset($_SESSION['c_priority']) && $_SESSION['c_priority']==1) {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>><?php echo $hesklang['high']; ?></option>
</select></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
/* Need to close the table? */
if ($is_table)
{
echo '</table> <hr />';
}
