I've been search the net for months for a solution to my seemingly "simple" problem, all i want to do is create a form that selects the country from a database (through a select element), then automatically populate the next select element with the state/province also retrieved from a data base and then the city select element must be populated from the state/province value, all of these values come from a database. If I am unclear then goto the nvidia driver download page <snip> for the concept that i am trying to get. Someone PLEASE help me this is driving me nuts!

Hi guzzi,

Have you looked into Ajax for what you want?

If it is with out reloading the page, you need to look into Ajax [google.com].

If reloading the page when a select box is selected is not an issue, you can just pass the value of that box to a query and populate.

Clarify this and you will get some assistance.

. . . and btw, you might need to be abit more descriptive on your titles in the future.
