Hello - I have been trying to figure out how to do this for weeks. I know you said not to send you e-mails about mods, but I'm at my whits end here. I want to do this in the Add A New Record Section have a pull down menu (select box) with the options a,b,c, ect.. and then when I select option (X) another select box appears or is all ready there that has option (Y). The two select boxes must work together. You only get option (Y) if you had selected Option (X) in the first box. Can this be done?? If so please post the code and spell it out. I guess I'm just dumb. Thanks
Bill Hey I'm not beyond begging if that will get me the help I need. Please....

Yep... check out http://javascript.internet.com (no www) the have exactly the script you are looking for under "forms".

Good Luck!

Thanks for the tip but I still Have no idea how to make this work in DB Man.

Can anyone convert this script into perl?? or Tell me how to get it running on the html.pl??

thanks
