Found your problem right away, you was using the oninput event what you needed was onchange

So this:

 <select class="form-control" name="college" id="college" runat="server" oninput="CollegeDepartment()">

Becomes:

 <select class="form-control" name="college" id="college" runat="server" onchange="CollegeDepartment()">

 function CollegeDepartment() { var s1 = document.getElementById("college"); var s2 = document.getElementById("department"); s2.innerHTML = ""; if (s1.value == "College of Engineering") { var optionArray = ["Civil Engineering", "Computer Engineering", "Electrical Engineering", "Electronics and Communication Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering"]; } else if (s1.value == "CAS") { var optionArray = ["Political Science", "Mascomm", "Liacomm"]; } else if (s1.value == "Commerce") { var optionArray = ["Business Ad", "Hotel Management", "Tourism"]; } else if (s1.value == "Education") { var optionArray = ["SPED"]; } else if (s1.value == "CICCT") { var optionArray = ["Computer Science", "Information Technology"]; } for (var option in optionArray) { var newOption = document.createElement("option"); newOption.value = optionArray[option]; newOption.innerHTML = optionArray[option]; s2.options.add(newOption); } }; 

 <select class="form-control" name="college" id="college" runat="server" onchange="CollegeDepartment()"> <option selected>Select College</option> <option value="College of Engineering">College of Engineering</option> <option value="CAS">College of Arts and Science</option> <option value="Commerce">College of Commerce</option> <option value="Education">College of Education</option> <option value="CICCT">CICCT</option> </select> </div> <br /> <div class="form-group"> <select id="department" name="department" class="form-control" runat="server" placeholder="Department" > <option value="Department" selected>Select Department</option> </select> </div>
