Hello,

I say you add a blank option for the first dropdown:

<option value=""></option>
You do this because the user will have to choose a value from the list. Here you add a function for onChange event by calling the same page with a parameter. The second dropdown will display all values in a recodset only if the parameter is present in URL.
