ok I am working on form and it has two fields. the first one is a drop-down with manufacturers and when you select that I want another drop down to have the model numbers just for that manufacturer so basically how can I use on change to show a certain drop-down when a certain manufaturer is chosen.

no something a little more simple where it is all in one page not a very omplex script that makes it easy for me to manage it cause i can't edit everything I need.

well this is probably a simple one...
If you can explain what it is you want and i what page im sure we can figure out something.

ok what I want is two drop down menus and the first one determines what comes up in the next. so say it is for car audio and I choose alpine as the brand/manufacturer (1st drop-down) then in the next drop-down it will show the model numbers just for alpine. how do I do that and use it in a form for submitting that data I can do the form part I just need to make it do the dynamic menu part.

Well help ok,but what you want is a full code presented...
I looked at the html part in that file and its easy enough to make something.
I have like many others a thousand other things to do.
I do help but its to be expacted that you also do some work.
