I have 3 different parameters that can call a fex.

BY State By City and By ZIP

I need a radio button for each that determines which list box is displayed to the user. If State is selected only the list box populated with states are shown same for if zip is selected etc.

Thanks in Advance!

Ryan,

I have posted this elsewhere but can't locate it at the moment, so here it is again.

Basically, the HTML and Javascript is used (in this example) to disable certain combo boxes depending upon the selected value of the fourth combo box. You could change the "disabled" attribute to the "hidden" version that is commented out.

To achieve this with radio buttons is fairly similar of course Smiler -
