combo 1, the options available in combo 2 will be, say X, Y and Z. If you
select the second item in combo 1, the options available in combo 2 will Q, R
and S. So I need to know which item was selected in combo 1, and based on that
value change the options available in combo 2.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>And you’re right. If I put my event code into the combo
responses, it works when the selection is made, just like I want it to. I didn’t
do that originally because initially I was just getting the selection and
displaying it in a text icon, just to see if I was doing it right, and it immediately
displayed the initial combo item in the text icon when the page opened. So I
thought I had to set up an event interaction to listen for a change. So that’s
sorted. I guess I’m the one who was missing something. ;o)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Thos responses match when the combo changes. Then you can use rsID.value (is is
value? I'm never sure), but you can grab the selections in script in the

Selection.setSelection(combo1); and
Selection.setSelection(“combo1”);, but neither seem to work. I also
tried using the id of the interaction. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

color:#1F497D'>Maybe something further down is stealing focus. I have, at this
point, 3 combos; all on separate interactions; all set to be perpetual. This is
followed by script icons to style the combos to match my screen shot (an almost
perfect match!). And that is followed by an interaction with several event
responses that listen for onKillFocus to grab the selections. Is there an event
that fires when a selection is made? I would rather not have to have the user
Tab or click out of the field before it changes the list items in the next
combo. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
