Without reloading the page there are a couple of ways around it.

One is to pre-populate javascript arrays from PHP, that way when a select item is chosen javascript already has the values to use.

Another is to use some sort of dynamic interaction with javascript from server side code. Look up XMLHttpRequest and/or XUL to achieve something like this (can get pretty involved).
