Refresh second drop down box in a page based on first

you have to submit the data from the first dropdown form element somehow, and that takes either a submit button that can be clicked on or some javascript to submit the form using an event tied to the dropdown.

 

which of those methods do you want to use?

Thank you very much for replying. I would like to use a submit button. What I am doing is, get the input in a page and upon getting input(through a button) redirect to the second page containing the second drop down box. But, my friend suggested that it is not a very good design.

web sites should function even if the visitor has turned off javascript in his browser. so, your design should have the drop-down and a submit button (that could be rendered inside <noscript></noscript> tags if you are also supply a javascript/jquery method of submitting the form when the drop-down is changed.)

 

you can use a single page for this, no need for multiple pages. just have the first drop-down submit to the same page it is on. read the value from the first drop-down, if any, and produce the second drop-down.
