Re: AJAX Chain Reaction - Multiple Divs.

Hi Stephen,

We need some more information about your problem to be able to help.

What does your code look like at the moment? Are you using any of the
AJAX/JS helper methods provided by Cake? Which JS engine are you using
(jQuery, prototype, ...)? Are you firing a new AJAX request each time
the value of a select list changes? Are you pre-loading all
conceivable options once at the start and just selecting the
appropriate subset of options when you change values?

Regards,
Michael
