There are 2 ways to go about this: 1) use an onchange() handler in your select-A that submits the new value and retrieves the corresponding values for select-B everytime there's a change;
2) pre-load all possibilities and use javascript to change the values of select-B that depends on A. This option is practical only for small amounts of combinations of data. I've personally used option 2 before.
