I have a project with a dependent dropdown list but over the last 2 weeks in some cases the dependent value isn't being written to the database an instead a null field is filled. Any ideas?

I know it's daft, but if you use the scroll wheel on a mouse to scroll a form on the web page, and you still have the drop down list highlighted, it will scrooll the list, this may cause incorrect vales to be input.

Graeme,
do you use default values or events on this page?

I used the dependent dropdowns based on lookups from another table. No events.

Please publish your project on Demo Account and send to [email=support@xlinesoft.com]support@xlinesoft.com[/email] a URL to your pages along with instructions on reproducing this error.

I'll find what's wrong with your project inspecting it at Demo account site.

I think I will use before add events it doesn't fail and might be easier - There are too many people reporting bugs with dependent dropdowns and the dependent value is crucial to other parts of the project so I can't have it fail. Something like

global $conn;

$strSQLExists = "select * from student where idstudent='$studentid'";

$rsExists = db_query($strSQLExists,$conn);

$data=db_fetch_array($rsExists);

$values["home group"]= $data["form group"];

$values["year level"] = $data["yearlev"];
