  • 0

I have a button that, when pressed, will add a new HTML row. Within these rows are two combo boxes: cboOffsetGroup and cboOffsetType. Depending on what is selected in cboOffsetGroup, the options for cboOffsetType will change. I do this using a refreshPage() function in Javascript. It works fine in the first row, but in the subsequently added rows, I cannot figure out how to call the refreshPage() funciton so that I can populate the appropriate options for cboOffsetType. Any help on this is appreciated. Note that I’m pretty much a novice at this, and realize this may not be the best code, but it’s what I have to work with. Thanks!

    You’re better of using JQuery for this sort of task.
