Help with Dynamic pop lists
Hi, I am not very good at cgi so i need this explained very simply... btw, thx ahead of time for your patience...

I want to be able to have 2 popup lists that change depending on what is selected... An example is if the first HOCKEY is selected from the first list then it will automatically change the second list to all hockey teams... and if BASEBALL is seleted, then it will change the second list to all the baseball teams... hope that makes sense...

baseball => angels, dodgers, etc
hockey => canucks, ducks, kings, etc
basketball => magic, lakers, etc

any simple way to do this? thx...

Yeah, I'm sure javascript can do it but is there any source codes and instructions available? Also, err... is it possible to embed it into the html.pl file or is there a way to do it from a regular .html file?

The answer to both your questions is yes.

The instructions for such a thing are here:

And yes, I have implemented it into my htmp.pl file, if you want to see, here

good luck!
