I have two versions of this running: select a continent, then a list of countries in the continent appears, select a country and a list of states appears, etc In an older one, I had the select inside an IFRAME, so that only that part of the screen appeared to change, and the main screen stays the same. A more modern version uses Ajax to collect the country data for the continent (this becomes much more worthwhile when you collect the state data for each country). Have a look at Ajax in Google. Much more flexible. But the old fashioned IFRAME is simpler and easier to code if you are new and just want to get it working. -- Pete Clark Local sites for Local People in Spain http://localFaces.net
