Hai
u can write the code like this
<form name=form>
<select name=choice>
<option value="Y">X</option>
</select></form>

where x is the choice u want to give and Y is the value of the choice X.
To go to any other field after selecting the choice u can write a script
like

onChange="goto()"

<script>
function goto(){
if(form.choice.value==y){
alert("Hello")
}else
alert(" Sorry not a valid choice !")
}

</script>

In the above script instead of alert(Hello)  u can write what ever function
u want to perform.

I would use WebMacro.  Serve up an array of objects that represent the
choices in your select box.  Then associate that object with a WebMacro
template.  In that template you would have something like this.

<SELECT>
#foreach $item in $listOfItems {
<option name=$item.name>
}
</SELECT>

I'm sure my HTML isn't right there, but I figure you'll get the idea.

WebMacro is found at www.webmacro.org.  I've heard recently there's
something else called Velocity that is easier to use that WebMacro.  You
can find that at the Apache site.

If, of course, you want to do it the old fashion way, just print out the
html necessary to build the <SELECT> through the response object.

good luck.
