@Mike Thanks. But it should have been working with the default code since dropdown 2 was working - dropdown 3 used the exact same principle. There is definitely something going on different between FF and IE.
Question - Could the existence of single quotes within the JSON data throw off JQuery? example: If one of the cities is "O'Brien".... I ask because I have now put up a refined page with the two methods and I have used a smaller version of the data file and guess what? It now works. So this leads me to believe the JSON data itself may have been causing a problem with IE only (Firefox always worked). http://jamestilberg.com/jquery/ The thing is, I had already validated the JSON data with several different online JSON validators.... I guess I need to build the JSON file back up and see if something specific stumps JQuery...
