If there aren't many categories, load all the extra info into the page in
the place you need it to appear and hide it by default. Then on change of
the drop down, show the relevant info.
With jQuery:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/jquery-1.3.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#cats").change(function() {
$(".catInfo").hide();
$("#catInfo" + jQuery(this).val()).show();
});
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.catInfo {
display: none;
}
</style>
<select id="cats">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
</select>
<div id="catInfo1" class="catInfo">
Cat into 1
</div>
<div id="catInfo2" class="catInfo">
Cat into 2
</div>
<div id="catInfo3" class="catInfo">
Cat into 3
</div>
