Hello All:

I was wondering if the following scenario can be accomplished using Perl.

I have an HTML form. The beginning of the form is pretty basic: customer name, address, phone, etc.

The next section of the form asks the customer to select a machine category. There are three categories: A, B, C.

When a customer selects a machine category, in this case category A, I would like a pop up menu to appear listing all the machines that are in Category A. If someone selects category B, the pop up menu should appear with the machines only in category B.

After the customer selects the machine within a category, the customer can complete the rest of the form and submit the data.

My question: Is it possible to accomplish the pop up menu listing specific machines within a selected category (as mentioned above)?

If so, can someone point me in the right direction as to where to begin?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.
