var cars = new Array('Audi', 'BMW', 'Opel');
var car_colors = new Array('white', 'metallic', 'black');
var acc = new Array('Brussels', 'Antwerp', 'Ghent')
var acc_types = new Array('studio', 'house', 'villa');
var hyphen = new Array('-');
var S2 = document.forms[0].sel2;
var S3 = document.forms[0].sel3;
function pop2(c) {
while (S2.options.length) S2.options[0] = null;
while (S3.options.length) S3.options[0] = null;
if (c == '') { fill(hyphen, S2); fill(hyphen, S3) }
if (c == 'cars') { fill(cars, S2); fill(car_colors, S3) }
if (c == 'accommodation') { fill(acc, S2); fill(acc_types, S3) }
}
function fill(arr, el) {
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
el.options[el.length] = new Option(arr[i], arr[i]);
}
</script>
Hope this helps,
