Progressive Drop Down Boxes?

I am creating a website and would like to use progressive drop down boxes.
By this I mean, I would like to have multiple drop down boxes. The first drop
down box will list possible choices to a question. When one of these
possible choices is selected, I would like to have another drop down box that
will list other possible choices based off of this selection. And so on....
This will make my site flow better and not have to many choices in just one
box. This appears to "cluttered" to me. Any assistance would be appreciated!

If you are going to have a lot of choices, you might want to consider
storing the choices in a database and using Ajax for this. It's the
perfect situation for that.

Thank you for this information. Is there any tools that I can use inside of
Front Page that does not require HTML programming that might be a little
easier? I am pretty much a novice in Front Page.

I think you probably shouldn't go the Ajax route. If you're a novice
in FrontPage and if HTML seems like programming to you, you'd pull
your hair out trying to go a true programming route.

The original link would probably be your best bet.
