New Post: Cascading lookup - child drop-down not filtering

Hi Mark,

At first I thought there might be a compatibility issue between the DFWP and the SPFilterDropDown function. But I discovered that it is actually an issue with the init_fields_v2() function of spjs-utility.js, as discussed by the author on one of his blog posts. So, I removed the dependency on init_fields_v2() by refactoring the code to use the necessary jQuery functionality myself. Below is the modified code, which I tested on both the standard NewForm.aspx, and a customised ;) form.

Cheers,

Charles

<script src="/javascript/jquery-1.8.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/javascript/jquery.SPServices-0.7.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

    $().SPServices.SPComplexToSimpleDropdown({
        columnName: "PCYC Club",
        completefunc: null,
        debug: true
    });

    var field = $("nobr:contains('PCYC Club')").closest("tr");
    var itemClub = $(field).find("select");
    $(itemClub).change(function(){ChangeOptions(itemClub)}); //pass the object associated with the PCYC club to the ChangeOptions function

});

function ChangeOptions(clubChapter){  //added the parameter clubChapter to receive the value passed to it when the selection for the PCYC club is changed
    
    var clubName = $(clubChapter).val(); // get the name of the PCYC club that was selected
    var myQuery = "<Eq><FieldRef Name='PCYCClubs' /><Value Type='Choice'>"+clubName+"</Value></Eq>";
    
    $().SPServices.SPFilterDropdown({
        relationshipWebURL: "",
        relationshipList: "Courses",
        relationshipListColumn: "Title",
        relationshipListSortAscending: true, // Added in 2013.01
        relationshipListSortColumn: "Title",
        columnName: "Course",
        listName: $().SPServices.SPListNameFromUrl(),
