Changing <options> within <select> on input

I'm making a <select></select> with lots of <option></option>. It
contains all possible options. Because of the length of the list, I
also have an <input type="text">.

This is what I wish to do:
onKeyDown I want all options that don't contain (or begin with, it
doesn't matter which one) the typed letters to be removed from the
<select>.

My problem is that I don't know of any code to find words and identify
letters.

You would need to use a Regular Expression.

Please don't recommend sites like that.

The code quality typically varies from poor to worse, and their articles
are out-dated.

Stop doing that, too.

This has got to be obvious, but I can't make it work. I have a form called with 3 pull down menus. They are linked to a database which generates the values for the <SELECT? Pull-downs. Lets say I have values selected for all three pull down menus. When I change the first "top-level" menu I want to reset both the second and third menus to the "default" state.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
