Ave,

What I have is two Select (Drop-Down) lists (State & County) and I'm
populating them from a mySQL table. What I want is when the user selects the
State from the State List, the County List should only pull out counties
associated with that State.

This is a usability issue rather than a code issue, but wouldn't you
want that to be the other way around? (ie, select the country from a
list and it populates the state list with
states/provinces/territories/adminstrative disticts/etc. that belong
to that country?) I know the order is "backward" from how one
typically writes an address on paper, but otherwise your state list
will be HUGE and often your country list would only have one value
after the user selects a state.
