'Please select' showing in second lookup dependent on anothe

Why is the "Please select" showing up on the dependent lookup menu instead of the primary? It makes sense to me that the primary lookup menu should have "Please select" instead of the dependent lookup menu. Is there a way to change "Please select" to the primary menu?

Hi,
you can do it editing generated files manually.

Open include/jsfunctions.js file in any text editor, find this line

if(i<3 && i>1 && !bLoading)

and replace it with this one:

if(!bLoading)


Then find following code:

if(SecondValue=="" && document.forms.editform.elements[SecondField].length<3)



and replace it with this one:

if(SecondValue=="")

I just worked my way back to this issue. I did as was noted. Not change occurred. It is confusing top people when the 1 selection menu that is supposed to be selected is the one that does not say "Please select". For instance. I am currently writing an application with 4 changed selection menus. all say "Please select" except for the one which people are supposed to select. This is considered a flaw by users. Please help.
