.val problems
.val problems
Hello Every one.
I'm quite new to jQuery so as you'd expect I've run into a few problems.
I have a form that has a drop down list at the top of it. When the drop down list is changed i t is supposed to send a post request to the next page which in turn recreates the form but fills it with the appropriate datat. I had it all working amost properly using the .text insted of f .val but this returned the value for all of the select items . So now I need some help. Below is a the jQuery bit and below that the form. Then below that again is the page it forwards too. Thank you very much for any help you cn give me.
