Hi,
I made a search on this but there is not much I could find.
Hope someone overcame the similar problem.

I have got a Parent Drop Drop Down list and two other drop down lists that are children.

When I make a change on the parent, only one of them gets populated (IE). The other one gives Method Error-500.

The children are not sub-categories of each other and independent.

Can this be achieved using Ajax Cascading drop down list or shall I look for other solutions?

Edit: Please do not send links that are not related to this problem.
I know how cascading drop down lists work when there's 1-to-1 relationship between parent and child and when there is many-to-one relationship between Parents and child.

The problem is
There is one Parent and Two "independent" children.
Can this be done?
