How is the data linked in the background?.....using a db? At the moment I
have done something similar in that the user select a letter from one drop
down box and then the other is populated with all of the entries starting
with that letter. The only problem is the page gets re-loaded each time.
Are you saying that these tags do this without reloading the page? i.e.
All the results are loaded at first and then the Java script picks out the
relevant ones?

Basically what they do is whip together two or three select boxes that are
tied with Javascript. Select a category in Box 1, and the categories linked
to your selection show up in Box 2. Change the selection in Box 1 again,
and Box 2's contents change to reflect a new category. Spiffy!
