Re: Help needed on using combobox

if you don't change around the tool bars of BV page.
The Go menu is at the left bottom and above the Video Tutorials.
it is hidden, when you point at it , it will show " Where are the buttons?"
just click one by one to find the Go Menu.

Re: Help needed on using combobox

Go menu has nothing to do with this.

The listboxes you are refering to are known as "Chained" .
The selection on the first affects the choices (options) of the second.

It can be done either with Javascript (for a limited number of options) or Ajax.

I use Ajax in my applications as I have (in example) States - > Major Regions -> Sub Regions -> Cities with a cities file that is approx 800 KB so it is unthinkable to load them all, in order to use simple Javascript.

Example: http://www.usedtransportsales.com/cars/

To see how to do it with Javascript, look at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ects/index.htm

However, for the second part (results) you need a Database driven script. So it is not something that you can do unless you have considerable knowledge of PHP/MySQL

You should rather outsource this to a pro, or purchase a ready made script.
