Javascript 'third' dynamic pulldown onChange

Hi there,

I found the working example below which is ok, but need to add a third pulldown menu that is changed based on the second pulldown menu - see more_examples field:

thanks

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
var dogs = new Array("poodle","puli","greyhound");
var fish = new Array("trout", "mackerel", "bass");
var birds = new Array("robin", "hummingbird", "crow");

function swapOptions(the_array_name)
{
var numbers_select = window.document.the_form.the_examples;
var the_array = eval(the_array_name);
setOptionText(window.document.the_form.the_examples, the_array);
}

function setOptionText(the_select, the_array)
{
for (loop=0; loop < the_select.options.length; loop++)
{
the_select.options[loop].text = the_array[loop];
}
}
</script>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">

<b>My favorite animal is ...</b>

<form name="the_form">
<select name="choose_category" onChange="swapOptions(window.document.the_form.choose_category.options[selectedIndex].text);">
<option selected>dogs
<option>fish
<option>birds
</select>

<select name="the_examples">
<option>poodle
<option>puli
<option>greyhound .
</select><select name="more_examples">
<option>poodletypea
<option>poodletypeb
<option>poodletypec
</select>
</form>
<p></p>
</body>
