Dependent dropdown is no longer working correctly
Hi mates,
I was looking for autocomplete dependent select/combobox whereby you select from buildingID dropdown and floor dropdown is automatically populated based on your selection from buildingID.
This script bellows seems to be exactly what I am looking for.
I got it from this fiddle link below:
http://jsfiddle.net/andrewwhitaker/hAM9H/
The only issue that I am having now is the black box with white down arrow.
If you mouse over it, it says, Show All Items
I can't get it to show up on the script below.
What am I missing?
