Dan, I'm not sure what the question is exactly. Some javascript is required in the browser if you want some action to happen by *simply* selecting an item. That is, you need minimally the onChange event for the SELECT tag. Without that, you would have to have a two step process: display the first list, submit, display the second list -- and this can be done with any server-side code.

Therefore, I am running into alot of dead ends with JavaScript. Maybe you guys might have an answer for me... I want to have 2 selection lists on my page, one of which is the "parent" list and the other is the "child" list. When a user would select one choice from the first list (parent list) the script would populate the options for the child list based on the first lists's choice. For example, I have A, B, C, and D in the first list and the second list is disabled (i have the code for that all taken care of) until one of those A, B, C or D choices is made. Lets say B is chosen. After B is chosen, Cat and Dog show up in the child list. Or, I choose D from the parent list and then Snake and Rabbit show up in the "child" list. Note: This is just an example of how to do this...i mainly just want to have control over making the user select a choice from the parent list, and then having a child list enabled with the contents of that child list specific to what was chosen in the parent list. Anyway to do this would be fine... ALSO...VERY IMPORTANT...this application is being developed for use with Pocket PC's, which means Internet Explorer CE, which in turn means, NO Dynamic functions or DHTML supported...i wish i could use it, but i cant! any way to do this??? Thanks in advance for the help.
