Client-side dependent menus

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a menu system in a form where the second menu is populated
depending on what is chosen in the first (without returning to the server
for a second query). There's a technote on the Macromedia site for how to do
this using Javascript and ASP, but I simply don't know if/how it can be
adapted for use in PHP (I haven't been using PHP very long):

http://www.macromedia.com/support/d...mic_listbox.htm

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

TIA

Roger

php is server-side stuff. Time to break out your Javascript books and
have at it. That's where you'll do this part of your project.

[this was my nice way of telling you to RTFM]

Many thanks also to those who contacted me off-group with solutions.
