I have an acro form I'm working on. My customer would like to have a drop down list with 3 choices. Based on the selected choice, they would like the next drop down list to display 3 options only for that selection.

I understand that databases do this, but I was wondering that since there are a finite choices or options, if there was a way to hard code javascript to do this?

Thanks for an awesome forum!!!!
Bob
