Cascading drop down menus - help please !

[Ian]

Can anyone help me with a problem I have. What I need to be able to do
is have the user presented with a single dropdown menu within a form
using HTML <SELECT> and <OPTION>. Once they choose a particular option I
then want another dropdown to appear alongside it with a list of options
that are dependent on what was selected in the first dropdown. Then I
want the same thing to happen a third time, i.e when the user selects an
option from the second dropdown a third one appears on the screen to the
right of it and then whatever the user chooses from this final dropdown
is used in the form submission.

Because I am a complete beginner it would be really useful to have an
actual code example that I could then modify with my own options.

Would really appreciate help with this.
