I want to link a drop down box choice to produce output to a text box, which in turn is used to populate another drop down list

[Dan Deck]

The scenario is :

A dropdown box that has a number of names, based on the name picked I would like to populate that person's age in a text box, then using that person's age I would like to populate another dropdown box with several choices, based on the age.

I would like the 2nd drop down box to be updated from some sort of array defined for that person's name and age. Each person will need to be unique as far as the data in the 2nd drop down list.

I have figured out how to populate the text box from the first dropdown list, but how do I take the text output and make a choice on populating another droptdown list.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here are a couple of articles that show how to populate a dropdown/list with items:

The first one discusses the general programming environment for lists

The second one shows a technique for populating a list with a total set of new items. The example is very close to your setup

The third one shows how to add and delete individual items.
