I want to thank very much Denis for his helpfulness and kindness.
Now It works also with the category separator, and this is exactly what I needed to do!
Good job to all the Limesurvey team!!!

You are right, Mazi...
I have already said to my boss that a donation would be important for LS team and certainly for us, as users...

Thank you for your nice solution above.
For those who wants to link more than 2 dropdown lists (list3 link to list2 link to list1) see below the small changes to apply into the code
$("#"+idSelectFilter).after(NewSelectElement);
to b replaced by
$("#"+idSelectFilter).before(NewSelectElement);
Thanks

HI,
Im trying to achieve this but I cant make it work.
3 droplists,
1. Droplist 1
2. Droplist 2
3. Droplist 3
Droplist 2 depends on droplist 1
Droplist 3 depends on droplist 2
How can I adapt the code and / or implementation to achieve this?
thanks a lot.

And last question..
Im trying to retrieve the answer from the droplists, using INSERTANS , but its not possible as the select created with the java script has a different type of code (select3111)
is it possible to retrive the answer by other means?
thanks!!

Sorry to insist..I really need this
1. Droplist 1
2. Droplist 2
3. Multiple option Question
Droplist 2 if filtered by Droplist2
Multiple options question (checkboxes) is filtered by Droplist2.
Its very necessary cause Multiple options question has 1240 subquestions, I cant show them all...I have to filter them with dropdown2..
Is it possible to adapt the selectFilter.js to multiple options aswell?
Thank you so much

Hmmm, and with 1240 subquestions for a multiple options question (which creates one column per subquestion) you don't run into database limits?

How many items are there at DD list 1/2 and the multiple choice question?
Maybe using some hidden questions and a (cascading) array filter might also do the trick.

Hi all,
thanks so much for answering. Im attaching the survey, plus the .js code.
I dont know if there is a data base limit. I guess not, cause Ive told them about this and they said no problem...
Its on monitoring some activities in the south of Africa, and they want to have statistics on localities visited. So:
dropdown1= provinces
dropdown2= districts
Multiplechoice= localities (which can be several, thats why multiple choice)
I thought this code (used to filter the 2 dropdown ) could do, but its high level java for me. Im not at all javascript expert (or anything lower than that)
Thank you very much again.

Hello,
This JS is not for multi choice question type, only for select single choice.
But here, i really think you need to review complete system : you can't have 1240 sub question, a really bad idea.
I think you need : 2 select like actually , and one text question type.
For the text question type :
Use some ajax source : ivaynberg.github.io/select2/index.html#ajax
Use tag system : ivaynberg.github.io/select2/index.html#tags
Dut need another script here.
