Don, There's a few different ways to do this. #1) Submit the form (to itself) when a user chooses an option from the first list (using onChange=form.submit()) then with PHP query the database for the second set of options. #2) Use JavaScript to store all the values and pop them in when the user chooses an option from the first list (using onChange=someFunction(...)). I like #2. If you need a starting point, google for "javascript dynamic select list" Hope that helps, Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
