I'm trying to create a drop down that when the user selects one of the menu items, it pulls a price from a database. (without clicking a submit button) Where can I find a tutorial on how to do this? This is similar to what I'm trying to
accomplish. http://www.modernpostcard.com/products_services/pricing/ (the Order Estimator section) Can this all be done within Dreamveaver or will other applications be required?

You can do this with data binding in flash forms..

Here is a great example, and you can download the source code.. http://www.asfusion.com/blog/examples/cfdj/

The example shows binding to a CFGRID but you can do the same with select boxes.

You can do all this in Dreamweaver if thats your editor of choice.

Can I have multiple drop down selects all working together to dictate the target data?

I dont think you can have more then one select box bind to a single form element but if multiple form alements make up the taget data then fine, you can.

You can also automatically change data in a select box based on the selection made in another select box. So you could infact have many select boxes that change / filter depending on what item you select from any of the others... very handy.
