sooo slow

I copied the quadrouple combobox code off another thread...I added two more boxes, but I am having problems.

First of all it takes sooo long to load.
Next, I get an error on the fifth combo box. I deleted some of the options for the combo boxes because I am going to fill in my own. I'm not sure if that would affect it or not.

I had the fifth box working perfectly untill I added the sixth box.
I am sure it is something simple I am just not seeing it.

Oh, and I was also wondering....at the end of my script I have an alert message reporting the Option Values that have been choosen. Can I turn that into regular text on the page instead?

Thanks All!

Well, I ended up taking the sixth box off and now every thing works perfectly. I really wish I could have that sixth box, but if any one can get it to work, let me know!! Here is the code for 5 linked drop down boxes. ( the "yes" "no" box is free, not linked to the others) Some of the values are not completed but you get the idea.

QForms, a great javascript forms API, allows you to create n-related select lists. I don't know it's performance with six elements, but it's worth checking out.
