Populating Conditional Lists In Edit View

I have a simple CRUD app. Add and Delete work fine. Having a small problem with the edit view.

The view has several drop down lists where a selection in one changes the contents in a 2nd via an Ajax call which queries a database.

eg  select a country, and a second drop down will get populated with states.

The 2nd drop down is populated via AJAX


When I populate the edit view populating the primary drop down works, and setting the correct selection is fine. However, the Ajax call does not get made, as I assume the change event does not get issued when CI creates the view.

What is the best way to populate the secondary drop down, and restore the value in it from the Model data.

Maybe this will help.
