Dependent Dropdowns

[Drew]

I have searched high and low and haven't found a good tutorial for doing
dependent dropdowns. I have 2 tables in my DB, Cat and SubCat,

Cat looks like this,

CatID
Cat

SubCat looks like this,

SubCatID
CatID
SubCat

I need to make 2 dropdowns, 1 where the user selects a Cat and then the
SubCat dropdown populates with subcategories of the Cat selected. I have no
budget for this, so extensions are out of the question. Can anyone point me
to a good tutorial? I have done this before, but it was like 3 years ago
and at a different job, so I don't have the code to look at.

Thanks,

Go to the Macromedia site and do a search for Client-side Dynamic Dependent
List-boxes

That's what I was looking for... kinda funny that I searched macromedia's
site with Dynamic Dependent dropdowns, and nothing was returned... listbox
was the keyword!

Thanks,
Drew
