Thinking about what you are doing here with the third dropdown...By
attaching that dropdown to the second you are telling it to be
filtered by the second dropdown's selected value...which is not
selected yet since it just loaded so I would presume you shouldn't
have any data in the third drop down.
To support this behavior in the past I used the 'event' property of
the options to define which event actually fires a cascade ( the
defalt is 'changed'). Then I manually fire cascade within the parent
element's change handler. :
//when 'make' is selected...
$(".seconddropdown")
.cascade(".firstdropdown",{
ajax: 'firsturl.js'
})
.bind("change",function() {
$(this).trigger("custom.changed");//manually call cascade
});
$(".thirddropdown")
.cascade(".secondbehavior",{
event : "custom.changed",//bind to custom event to prevent
loading
from cascade
ajax: 'secondurl.js',
});
