I am currently working on a site which will be selling individual fittings and valves.

I wish for this to have a search process which will involve drop down menus.
i.e. The user will select a manufacturer from the 1st menu which will then load the various products offered by that particular manufacturer into the next menu.They will then select a product and the next menu will be populated which is size. The user then selects the size which populates the next menu, shape.....I want to have 5 menus in total.

Is it possible for all the information to be stored in arrays using javascript, then once this has been completed I can query my MS Access database, with ASP, to display the details of the product on screen.

Is this a sensible way to do it? Or has anyone any ideas on how I could complete this project?

Regards,
Andy

Thanks for the help....

Do you think that it would be possible to take the last value from the drop down menu and pull details on it from a database?

Also, how would I add extra menus to this code?
