Auto-populating dropdowns and multiple forms.

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Here's what I have so far:

First drop down = select a state (works)
This populates the second drop down (works)
Second drop down = select a city (works)
This populates the third drop down with local restaurant names (not quite)

When I select a restaurant from the drop down the form is submitted but the $rest_name variable isn't carried over



Site: www.abcgreatdeals.com
Select:California, La Quinta for an example

I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just over looking. Thanks for any input.
