There are a many ways you could accomplish this. It's a common
request, so Google might be your friend here.
In fact, this query:
http://www.google.com/search?q=prototype+select+boxes
Returned this helpful example as the second response:
http://maraz.org/2007/05/23/prototype-scriptaculous-chained-select/
One of the questions you may wish to ask: how complex is your second
list? Is it feasible to cache all possibilities locally when the
page is first loaded, or do you really need to Ajax on every change?
Here's one way (similar to the example above). The code is simple,
employs no caching whatsoever, and hasn't been tested in any way. It
should be enough to get you started.
Event.observe( 'idOfSelect', change', function (e) {
var sel = $('idOfSelect');
Ajax.Update('idOf2ndSelect', url, {
method: 'get', parameters: {sel1: sel.value}
}
});
Have the code at 'url' return the desired <option> tags.
