Need help with a List menu

    I am confused with how to get the result I need from a list menu. I have the menu made, but don't know how to get it to do what I want after they choose an option. Here is my menu in code:

    <select name="Time" class="text_main" id="Time" style="width:197; height:15 ">
            <option selected>--Select Time Zone--</option>
            <option>Eastern Time Zone</option>
            <option>Pacific Time Zone</option>
            <option>Central Time Zone</option>
            <option>Mountain Time Zone</option>
          </select>
    Code (markup):

    In case you haven't noticed it is a time zone list/menu. I want the user to select there time zone and then it show them a list of online meeting times with their time zone. So if I chose "Eastern Time Zone" I want the information below it to update using the new time zone. The information is basic and simple, but I have no idea how to make it happen. Any help? :confused:

    The <form> tag will need to have an action attribute to tell the browser where to send the information the user has entered/ selected. You would then have a server side script run that query against the db/ xml/ web service or where ever the data of the metting times is held.

    you will need to use an action with some server scripting behind it. Maybe posting in the server side scripting area would get you a better response. Sorry i'm not much help.
