    Hi guys,

    I am looking to make a contact form for my web site but I want it to show different drop down options in a 'select box' deciding on what they initially choose in a 'check box'. It can be done with links to new pages but that seems like a messy solution!

    I think I can manage it myself but I don't actually know where to start.... I mean what programming language is best to use.

    Is it a combination of DHTML and PHP? Do they work together? And, will the form be easy to build, have the sending functionality and can be hooked up to a database?

    Oh yeh, my server is Linux.

    Any comments are appreciated? Even the ones that say "WTF!!!"

    DB

    Yes, it is dhtml (html + javascript + css). Maybe you could use some example on the web about dhtml. There are plenty of these.
