I have 5 drop downs in total. The first drop down loads all the health care profession from a XML file. Profession XML basically would contain the name and abbreviation of each profession.
eg: Name : Speech Pathologist ; Abbreviation = 'SLP'.
Once user select the profession from the first drop down,the below four drop down should automatically load the area of expertise for the selected profession by reading a second xml file named "Experience.xml"..
In our case,when SLP is selected , all expertise area related to SLP need's to be loaded into the remaining four drop down. All four drop down will have the same data .User needs to select the year of experience across each area of expertise.
The structure of expertise XML is something similar given below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<profession>
<Profname Profid="SLP" >
name="Audiologist" abbreviation="A"
name="Home-Health" abbreviation="H/H"
</Profname>
<Profname Profid="RN" >
name="Emergency Care" abbreviation="ER"
name="Case Manager" abbreviation="CM"
name="Cath Manager" abbreviation="CTHM"
</Profname>
</profession>

I am developing my website using asp.net in C#. My first area of concern here is how to read my second XML file based on the key and get all the associated details. Can you please provide some examples to how I should do that.
Second one I have is with the select Index changed event not firing when I test using Firefox. I could see the event firing when I launch using IE. I am not sure if the solution you suggested would address my second problem.
It sounds like you are trying to come up with cascading drop-down controls. You might be able to use the AJAX control toolkit, and the CascadingDropDown extender to achieve that effect.
