updating form values without submit

b
This seems very simple, but I'm not sure how to do it. Lets say that I
have
a form with two select boxes, call them Colours (red, orange, yellow)
and Items (contents depend on colour selected). If the colour is
changed from orange to yellow, I want the second select box to change
it's contents from "Oranges, etc" to "Bananas, etc" without the submit
button being pressed. How do I do this?

Ok, thanks. I knew that it was possible to do these types of things,
but had not found an example in any PHP book I have read. Found this
website for anyone else interested.

You didn't find it in a PHP book because you can't do it in PHP.

PHP is server-side, while listbox selection is client-side.
