[thelist] Option Value change

[Ken Schaefer]

You can do what you want using the DOM and javascript. But how are you doing
to tell the javascript what the new values are? That is what Tim is trying
to say.

If the values are stored in a database *on the server*, then you will need
some server-side technology to get access to these values. Javascript is
client-side - it runs in the client browser, and short of using
remote-scripting, you can't get access to information stored on the server.

Cheers
Ken
