Hello All,
I have 2 drop downs 1 country created from studio and other state whose values i fetch from database.Now i have displayed state drop down based on country id from country drop down.Now when i click on save in edit view and again go to edit view my country selected value remains but state selected value doesnot remain..What must be wrong?

Hi Shripad,
I saw your both the files...
my first question is your state values are statically filled or dynamically????

like wise if its filled by you i have great solution for you

If your country dropdown contains
1)India
2)Aus
3)US

And Other dropdown contains States, Which is filled from studio having all values as states of all this three countries
we can simply filter is using upgrade proof javascript

hi Sagar,
My state list values are static..I'm fetching those values from table which conatins staes values for all 3 countries.I select state values from that table by comparing the id i send from drop down of country with a field named 'cname' in table which contains names same as id of country drop down...
And yeah u mentioned about " we can simply filter is using upgrade proof javascript ".How can we do that?


Thnxs Regards,

Hi Shripad,

write this code on change event of states dropdown onchange

var states_c = document.getElementById('states_c');
var countries_c = document.getElementById('countries_c');



for(var i = states_c.options.length-1; i >= 0; i--)
{
if(states_c.value=='India')
{
	if((countries_c.options[i].value).indexOf("india") != -1)
	{
	states_c.remove(i);
	}
}
}

note: make sure that whenever you are adding states in states dropdown append suffix as country name in small... i.e. india_maharahtra and Display member as Maharashtra...

Hi Shripad,
your currently issue is you are saving the value which is not present in dropdown list...
