As soon as you select an option from the first menu, a function called by the onClick event reloads the page. The new URL that is loaded is an ASP page that is sent the selected value of the first menu as a parameter. The ASP no doubt builds the second menu with values depending on what was selected in the first menu.

It's a combination of server-side and client-side scripting.

So there is an ASP script that builds these 2nd pages? I guess there's not a way to view that, like "view source". This is starting to look like it's beyond my novice level ability.

You cannot view the source of server-side programs like ASP pages. Because they are server-side programs, the source is rendered into HTML before it is sent to the client's browser.

I recommended out-sourcing this project, due to my limited skills and the time frame involved.
