| Thats exactly it, only problem is, the way its done here means i have to have every record in js on the page, theres so many makes and models it would be efficent to have it this way, is there any other way to do it(keep in mind all the makes and models are in a DB)? Code: var regionState = new DynamicOptionList();
regionState.forValue("west").addOptions("California","Washington","Oregon");
regionState.forValue("midwest").addOptions("Illinois","Iowa","Missouri");
regionState.forValue("east").addOptions("New York","Maine","Pennsylvania");

| There is an example for you. Give it a shot and you'll get the hang of it quickly: Ajax load content from another file using POST or GET | Eire Web Design

| The only way to load the content for the new dropdown on demand is AJAX. It's pretty easy if you already know PHP/MySQL and a little JavaScript. |
