Well I don't know much JS and no ASP but you should probably be looking
at creating several arrays and conditionally and dynamically creating
your pulldowns based on the choices. like:

if(user chooses UK) {
    counties=uk_counties
    create dropdown using array of uk_counties
} else if(user chooses france) {
    le counties=fr_counties
    create dropdown using array of le counties
}

Maybe that will get you off on the right foot, ps, I think ASP would be
harder than JS here as you don't want to submit the form three times to
change the dropdowns, you want to onclick the jobbie.
