I want to make an HTML form with 2 select boxes. The selected option in the first select box should drive the options in the second select box. I would like to solve this
You could do plain javascript. If this is all you need javascript for, then jQuery is probably too much.
create a function in the that populates the second combo box. In the first combo box, you call that function with onChange=theFunctionYouCreated()
hope that's enough to get you started.
