Filter country /state in Javascript

Hi,

I need to  create a filter in javascript that will start with country and depending on the country i choose it filters down the states and shows only states in that country and then i want it to filter down to based on state too, so it will show cities in the state based on what state i choose.

I found some script  to do this on only one level but it doesnt even work well. anyone knows how i can do this in java script? or is there any where i can find code that does this?

thanks!!

Perfect - Thanks!
I wanted to add one more thing that that - we have Country, States and Cities. I wanted to add venues to that.

 I can do this for the select
 <select id="venues" style="width: 150px">
     </select>

and i can add a declaration like this in the js

var venuesslist = document.getElementById("venues");

my problem is now with setting up the array as i want it to filter down all the way from country to venue and also setting up the function

var venues = new Array()
venues[0] = "";

Thanks for your help!! I will add more points for this.

thanks
