This code gets the first drop down list branch from data base. When we select value from it, second drop down list get filled from database . but problem is when i select option in first drop down list, the selected option does not remain their in first drop down list . but second drop down list fills correctly. i want that option i have selected should remain selected. Like its state should be changed. I think first drop down list gets filled again on form load.
