    copied!<p>I have a select anchor with id=antibiotic that is dynamically filled. Based on the selection I want to then dynamically fill the next listview with id=dose. The code below is working, but all of the option anchors dynamically selected for id=dose show at the same time. I've tried selecting one choice programatically and then refreshing to no avail. Any other ideas? I'm using jquery mobile.</p> <pre><code>&lt;body&gt; &lt;select Onchange='changer($(this).val())' class="antibiotic" id="antibiotic" data-native-menu="false"&gt; &lt;option value=""&gt;Select Antibiotic&lt;/option&gt; &lt;?php $hostname = "xxxx"; $username = "xxxx"; $dbname = "xxxx"; $password = "xxxx"; $usertable = "renalAdjust"; $yourfield = "antimicrobial"; //Connecting to your database $link = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) OR DIE ("Unable to connect to database! Please try again later."); mysql_select_db($dbname); //Fetching from your database table. $query = "SELECT * FROM $usertable"; $result = mysql_query($query); if ($result) { $antimicrobial = array(); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $name = $row["$yourfield"]; array_push($antimicrobial, $name); } mysql_close($link); $antimicrobial2 = array_unique($antimicrobial); foreach($antimicrobial2 as $item) { $item2 = str_replace(" ","_", $item); ?&gt;&lt;option class='opt' value=&lt;?php echo $item2 ?&gt;&gt;&lt;?php echo $item ?&gt;&lt;/option&gt;&lt;?php } }?&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;select class="dose" id="dose" data-native-menu="false"&gt; &lt;option value=""&gt;Select Dose&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;select id="Creatinine Clearance" data-native-menu="false"&gt; &lt;option value=""&gt;Select Creatinine Clearance&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;script&gt; function changer(val){ var dataString = 'id='+ val.replace("_"," ","g"); $.post("renalAdjust2.php", {id: dataString}, function(data){ var doses = data.split("----"); for (var i in doses){ $('&lt;option&gt;').val(doses[i]).text(doses[i]).appendTo('.dose'); } }); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; </code></pre>
