Hey guys thanks for the help on the last topic, its much appreciated!
Ok next question is how to i guess "link" together select menus.. this is what I am trying to do. I have a drop down select menu similar to this...

Make:<select name="Makes">
<option value="Aston Martin">Aston Martin</option>
<option value="BMW">BMW</option>

So two makes Aston Martin, and BMW... I want to have another drop down select but for model... how do i make the model menu start blank and then when you choose say Aston Martin the make would have new options... like DB7, DB9, etc...?

Help would be appreciated
thanks,
James

There are different ways of doing this. I one simple way is 100% javascript. Just take a look at the source of this page and copy it:

If you're using MS Expression Web or maybe even Frontpage I think you can do this easily like just from a menu and without writing new code.
