為解決省、市、區(qū)、區(qū)域4級(jí)級(jí)聯(lián)菜單，在網(wǎng)上搜索了大量的級(jí)聯(lián)菜單解決方案，也請(qǐng)教過(guò)不少朋友，要么過(guò)于復(fù)雜，要么過(guò)于占內(nèi)存，未果。
在建議下，悉心讀《ajax基礎(chǔ)教程》4余遍，方有與ajax相識(shí)恨晚之感，唯一的感慨就是好用好用絕對(duì)好用。
現(xiàn)在把已經(jīng)可以正常運(yùn)行的例子的核心代碼分享：

附注：這里用jsp或者servlet都可行。今天還看到一個(gè)朋友在dearbook上問(wèn)某書的示例為啥不用Servlet而用JSP，
問(wèn)題如下：讀第*章,發(fā)現(xiàn)XMLHttpRequest.open(method,url,true)中的url請(qǐng)求的都是jsp，然后由jsp再調(diào)用處理方法，然后再out.print().不能直接發(fā)送請(qǐng)求到servlet讓servlet處理再out.print()？疑惑...?
我的觀點(diǎn)：jsp的調(diào)用和out打印與servlet本質(zhì)上是一致的；如果采用servlet從理論上更說(shuō)得過(guò)去，但是對(duì)于示例未必最佳，畢竟jsp只要放在web容器的某個(gè)應(yīng)用下就ok；如果是servlet則需要配置；對(duì)于一本講述概要而不是深入討論最佳實(shí)踐的書，我覺(jué)得作者的不足是沒(méi)有提到其它可行方案或者解釋為啥通過(guò)這個(gè)方式來(lái)示例；對(duì)于讀者來(lái)說(shuō)，應(yīng)該產(chǎn)生這個(gè)疑問(wèn)，并且該弄明白為啥這么干
聲明:
本例子在firefox下完全正常運(yùn)行;
在IE下運(yùn)行到
紅色標(biāo)記處得到的對(duì)象的個(gè)數(shù)居然是0;嚴(yán)重疑惑中,希望得到朋友們的指點(diǎn).....
