So, say I have two select boxes. One with the letters of the alphabet,
and a second with a list of names. When I select the letter in the
first, how do I, in my onChange function, extract the value I selected
in the first box, to determine what values to populate the second box
with?
I don’t want to submit the form, I’d like to do this with Ajax.
Thanks in advance,
Ben.

completely untested, but you get the idea. You first need a reference to
the select element. Then the selectedIndex property will give you the
index of the selected option and the options property is an array of the
options.
