Relly great tip. Very nice. I have an additional question: how should I make this work, when I try to implement it in the edit mode. Thanks again. Hi! Relly great tip. Very nice.

I was following a similar tutorial on the MSDN site which i couldnt get to work, but this has done the trick. I ended up spending 3 days writing a workaround (i couldnt use the combolist with 'ShowDropdown' as the client didnt like the different rendering) which involved using javascript to populate a placeholder drop-down with the required values after AJAX updates updated a linked drop-down. This would have saved me a lot of time!

I am currently fighting against these strange lookups with more than 20 items that render weird. But my problem is in the NewForm.aspx, because I have to manipulate the data there. If the lookup ha sless than 20 items, I can do everything; still, when it has miore than 20 items, I can't access fields, even though I have the ID of the lookup and have control of it. I surfed the web and found that this can be solved with "ShowDropdown" function provided by Sharepoint, but this does not work. Do you have any suggestion on how to get control and access data of the lookup with more than 20 items in the NewForm.aspx? This is causing me really bad headaches! I beg you! Great tip!
