<div>
It can be done (i have done it), but it is not so easy to write it down in a few words.<br />
<br />
I have used ASP (Active Server Pages) to get the data from the database. Then I used javascript to change the second combobox according to the choice made in combo #1.<br />
<br />
In this case it all work in one page, in NS3+ en IE4 (IE3 does not have enough javascript capacities).<br />
<br />
It also can be done using 2 ASP pages, in which the first page (with the country choice) calls the second (with the city choice).<br />
<br />
ASP is not so very different from VB, as it uses VB-script, at least it should look familiar to you :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, it seems no use to give my answer if you are not running ASP. So that is my first question to you.<br />

I am pretty new to the area of web development, and I am working on a simple project to retrieve info from an access db and display it. Basically, I need to populate a combo box with a list of countries from the Country table, the user then selects a country which I then use to retrieve a list of cities and populate another combo box. &nbsp;I need guidance on how I construct this and possible some sample code to do this, ...HTML seems very different to usual VB programming which I have been doing for the last 4 years. &nbsp;Thanks.

Database access

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
