Dropdown menus?

for

From: Liv Detrick

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with dynamic drop down menus
within a web form... a typical example would be two dropdown menus; one with
a list of countries, and one with a list of cities. Once you choose a
country, the second dropdown refreshes to include a list of cities within
your chosen country.

I've seen this done with the javascript onChange command or with AJAX... but
I'm unsure of their accessibility... does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Liv
