Dynamic use of more then one option box

Question

Dear all,I want to use several option boxes, where the options are selected form a MySQL database.I've met several problems,1. How do I get the selected option in a PHP and JS variable ($xyz=$_GET['field']) and (var xyz=form.field.Options.Selected)  doesn't seem to function.2. The options of the second option box are selected with a SELECT Query, containing a where clause, using the selected option from the first option box.Does somebody haves a clu?Thank you in advance,Cees from Holland

If you are using a Dreamweaver Dynamic List/Menu to display the options from a recordset, click the lightning bolt icon alongside the "Set value equal to" field in the Dynamic List/Menu dialog box, and select the recordset field you want to be used. See the following illustration:

To solve your second issue, you would need to use Ajax. Dreamweaver doesn't do it out of the box. Do a Google search for jQuery dependent drop down.
