I am creating a client setup form. I have a dropdown box that lisit all of the United States states. There are multiple lines that will use this same list of states. My question
1. Is it possible to eliminate the prior choices form the drowdown box once selected on a previous line.
2. If it is, how do I begin.

Yes, you can modify the contents of a list with JavaScript. Use the "change" or "validate" methods to identify the selected item and remove it from the list.

A good place to start would be reading both parts of this artical. Both parts provide sample code. Neither does exactly what you want, but much of the code could be modified for your use.
