Formmail.asp - Help with field dependencies

[kirstyg14]

Hi all - I'm a bit of a newbie to forms, so sorry for this being so simple I'm sure.

I've designed a form in Dreamweaver using formmail.asp method which works completely fine but, I'm trying to set up some field dependencies (not sure what the correct terminology is) i.e. - a menu list with car makes [Renault, BMW etc] then the next field would list the car model [Megane, XD5] (depending on the option you selected previously)

I'm sure it's really simple but please could you assist me...

Many thanks
Kirsty

If you were to do this in ASP, it would require a page reload. You could also do this with javascript. Which would you prefer?

Well I'm used to asp - but whichever way you feel is easiest?

Thank you for your help.

Thanks

Hi Kirstyg14,

I had a similar issue a while ago and managed to get a solution (which uses a mix of .asp and Javascript, but it works beautifully and uses the DOM so it degrades nicely too).

I've tried to find a link to the thread quickly but can't find it at the mo. (If I get a few minutes later I'll have a bit of a better look :) )

In the mean time though, have a quick search for "relational" drop downs (or terms similar to that) and you may come across it.
