I have 2 fields, say f1 and f2 to be chained. Both fields are populated by a fex and have a onchangeevent to run something. I noticed that once I change a value in f1, which triggers its onchange event and calls the f2 to be updated, the f2's onchange event will not work. The f2's onchange event works fine if f1's value is never changed.

I am thinking probably the f2's onchange event is lost once the f2 is updated by a fex due to the chained f1's value change. Please note f1 works fine and f2 would work fine if f2 is not populated by a fex.

Thanks.

HC,

This indeed makes sense. Think on it.
When you chain two fields, what happens when field1 changes value is that a fex is fired off which providesa new contents for the f2 drop down box. Hence, the dropdown box has received a new contents from the backend, not because of some event the user caused. The latter is what triggers the onchange events. Re-populating is not an event from the viewpoint of the browser.
