Re: producing results from list of choices

Hi Denise,
Sounds like a database job to me. How many names are on the list? I have
used several linked JavaScript drop down menus that would allow you select
(say) Area in the first menu and that then changes the list of options in
the second menu (say Specializations available in that area).
