[Solved] ItemsRequested not firing correctly

[Zach]

I'm trying to use the ComboBox to allow a user to pick a shipping method based on their address.  I am populating the ComboBox's context with address information on the page using the OnClientItemsRequesting event, and then calling a server side OnItemsRequested event.  This works the first time, but has inconsistent behavior every time after that.  Since the user can change their address on the page, the shipping costs might need to be recalculated after the initial ItemsRequested event.  However, the event will not fire unless I select the text and clear it out.  I want the ItemsRequested event to fire every time the dropdown is opened (is caching possible in this situation in case they just want to change their shipping method without changing their address?).  Also, it would be great if the textbox could be disabled, since there is no real purpose for it.  I'll post a code example if necessary.

Thanks.

I am experiencing the same problem with OnClientItemsRequesting only firing the first time.  I have cascading combo boxes

Event,
Program,
Year,
Track,
Session

Each field determines the values in the next combobox.   If I select all values and go back to a previous value to re-slect say a program OnClientItemsRequesting does not fire again to re-populate the dropdown.
