I tried that already but was hoping there was a better method. It will have to do for now. Many thanks for your help anyway. For anyone else with the same problem, the bottom of "getcities.php" will also need to be changed to add the third select box. For example: echo "City:"; echo "Select a City..."; echo""; Thanks again for sharing this script with us! Much appreciated! Thanks. I tried that already but was hoping there was a better method.

Make sense? in the html - in between <div id=”cities” class=”row”> and </div>

add the following:
<div class=”label”>City:</div><div class=”field”><select name=”city”></select>

That will basically be replaced completely when it gets the city list… but it will serve as a placeholder until a state is selected…

Make sense?

I'd like the select boxes on the page even though they are empty, because I am using the script as a search form not a store locator, with continent>country>city select boxes. If I leave it as it is I get a big empty space in the form where the select boxes are meant to appear and it may mislead some visitors into thinking that they can only search by continent and not by city.

In the script the list of states are shown - but the list of cities can't be shown until you know for which state to show a list of cities... ?

I have yet to test it but it was just what I was looking for. We needed a way when customers call to look up the stores in their area by Zip code and hopefully this'll do the trick! This is great.
