you can either look for a CGI script, a Java script or even use ASP or PHP to accomplish this. It all depends on what your hosts supports and what you are familiar with.

i'd recommend going with either a CGI, ASP, or PHP script. Since these are all ran from the server you won't have to worry about browser compatability.

&lt;option value="Prod" selected &gt;Product&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="Srvc"&gt;Service&lt;/option&gt;

hi and thanks

i have been using php for the balance of the site and may i prevail to ask for a visit to http://www.noevalley.com/wip1template.php3 and /category.php3

the first is the replacement page for noevalley.com and is a vast improvement (due almost entirely to the sitepoint forum). it uses lots of mysql and php to do the heavy carrying.

but the problem is noevalley.com/category.php3

i need to get the initial grouping down to about 6 to 10 and then telescope from there.

to lay the whole page on the viewer is to insure they will leave - forever.

i am almost certain others must have this same problem.

all suggestions vastly appreciated.

thanks ed
