Hi everyone, need some help here...
I uploaded the problem in question here: now if you make the selections from the first dropdown, and then from the second drop down, and lastly from the last drop down...and hit the submit, you'll see that only the first dropdown choice get passed...anyone know why??
Thanks...

For a better idea for the test, select these choices: 'OFFICE SUPPLIES' 'PAPER' 'COMPUTER SOFTWARE'
 I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

bondark, sorry I can't use your code...I tried and it doesn't seem to work for me...
In my CHOIUCE1 there are 15 options, and depending on what you select CHOICE2 and CHOICE3 can have as many as 8 options in each...kinda like this: look at all the options in and you'll see what I mean... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
