Hi all,
i have 2 select boxes.
If i choose a value from the first select box the second select box should
have appropriate values.
eg: first one has science/ IT etc.,
if i choose science the second should show
say
maths/ history/ physics/ chemistry
if i choose IT from the first , the second box should show
say
hardware/ software /networking / etc.,
if anybody has a piece of code for this i would really appreciate it.
Regards
Ramesh Kesavanarayanan
