I have a triple drop-down menu built in Javascript which uses arrays. The selection of the first menu determines the values in the second menu which then determines the values in the third menu.How can I point these menu selections to search the database via a SQL statement and return the results onto a results page?
I have done this successfully with static values but cannot get this work with dynamic array values.

Can you get the results you want by using only the 3rd menu as the search criteria or must you use the other two also?

Thanks, Vince.
The search results are dependent upon what is selected in the second AND/OR third drop down menus. For example:
FIRST MENU: a selection of auto brands. I select HONDA from the first
SECOND MENU: I select CIVIC
THIRD MENU: I can select TURBO or if no Turbo is available, , the third menu automatically shows NO TURBO AVAILABLE
Now, I want to be able to click a SEARCH button to return from the database all HONDA CIVICS with no TURBO.
The only drop-down menu that is static is the first one. The second menu choices are determined by what is selected by the first menu. The third menu choices are determined by the second menu selection (done through javascript arrays)
The issue that I am having is how to return results from the database based on the dynamic javasript array menu selections.
Autotrader.co.uk QUICK SEARCH is an example of what I am attempting to accomplish.
