returning form values without "submitting"

use JS to produce a MySql Query

[mattclayb]

Hi,
I know some PHP and SQL, but think that I require Javascript as the solution to my problem, but I am a complete novice in JS.

THE TASK

I want to create two dropdown select menus in HTML on the same page, and have Javascript update whatever is selected, so I can return the values without the need of a submit button and without leaving the page. This is so I can grab the form values as variables in PHP and create a MySql query from them.

I would very much appreciate any ideas!

regards,

Matt
