If the whole thing should be tossed, and go with multi-step submissions, please point me the right way on that.
That's certainly a more accessible option. Your current method simply won't work at all for anyone browsing without JavaScript enabled. While that's usually a small minority, it will be incredibly annoying for them to get validation failures on form elements they can't possibly change. How many campuses are in your list? You may be able to make it both accessible and a more responsive UX by loading the entire list in the form with markup (e.g. class) references to the relevant states, and then hiding the irrelevant options with JS as a state is selected. If that's too many campuses to load up front, I'd go with a multi-step form. -- Scott Reynen MakeDataMakeSense.com
