After select "United States" from the Drop down box 1 => Drop down box 2 shows states

[akstar]

Hi guys,

I have a drop down box that allows the user to select the countries.

<select size="1" name="D21">
 
<option>	Afghanistan	</option>
<option>	Aland Islands	</option>
<option>	Albania	</option>
<option>	Algeria	</option>
<option>	American Samoa	</option>
.
.
.
and etc....
 
		  </select>

How do I create a drop down box number 2, where If the user selects United States in drop down box 1, it will display all the states (e.g NY, LA...) for the user to select in drop down box 2

Is there any scripts online that does this ?
Thanks for the advice provided

Do you have state list stored anywhere?

'chained listboxes' is one of the terms I have come across to describe this, its usually a JS job, though as I expect you don't have a corresponging list of states in Afghanistan, you may just want to hide us states unless the user picks 'usa'.
