Here's an example to get you started: 

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setmenu2() {
  var menu1 = document.getElementById('menu1');
  var sel   = menu1.options[menu1.selectedIndex].text;
  var menu2 = document.getElementById('menu2');

  if (sel == "Foo") {
    menu2.innerHTML = "<option>Foo-1</option>"
                     +"<option>Foo-2</option>";
  } else {
    menu2.innerHTML = "<option>Bar-1</option>"
                     +"<option>Bar-2</option>"
                     +"<option>Bar-3</option>";
  }
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<select id="menu1" onchange="setmenu2()">
<option>please select...</option>
<option>Foo</option>
<option>Bar</option>
</select>

<select id="menu2">
