Hi Boris,
I really appreciate the work that you are doing. I am learning Sharepoint. I followed your post about the Cascaded dropdown lookups, but I was not able to execute the instructions properly as the images on the site do not appear. They are blank. I tried on different browser but the problem persists. I checked other posts as well. Most of the posts have missing images. Please upload the Images again.

Thank you.

Great script!
I am having a problem getting the script to work within an ascx control using a field iterator.

Any idea why it would not work outside of a standard webpart?

Unfortunately not. The datasheet view is an ActiveX control and I doubt it has javascript access.

I am having an issue with the parameters part. Here are my tables/fields, would like to get some assistance in getting the right values.

Business Units (/Lists/Business%20Units/AllItems.aspx)
Title Field=Title

Department/Division (/Lists/DepartmentDivision/AllItems.aspx)
Business Unit Field=Business%5Fx0020%5FUnit
Department/Division Field=Title

Part A – Initiation (5.1.2) (/Lists/Part A Initiation 512/AllItems.aspx)
Initiating Business Unit (5.1.3) Field=state
Dept/Division Field=Dept%5Fx002f%5FDivision

* Part A has more fields but these are the ones that will be involved in the lookup process, BU on part A will determine what is in dept drop down.

I have the content editor at the bottom of the page, but am still getting the same error. Has this problem been resolved?

Thanks!

Hi Boris, Excellent work on the cascading dropdowns. One issue: When the child field is set to Required, it stops working. Will you be addressing this?

This is awesome. Works like a charm!!!
Is it possible to have two lists affect one child list. I choose from list A and it shrinks list C. I choose from list B and it shrinks list C to only items that match both List A and List B?

I Hope that makes sense. Thanks for any input.

“‘CascadingDropdowns[...].parentLookup.Opthid’ is null or not an object”

You MUST put the webpart with javascript code below the form.

You should interchange web parts. Put Context Editor below DataFormWebPart/
