Some things to consider. Client side operations should not be relied upon as a public interface. For example, some viewers will come to your site with a browser that can't handle JavaScript or has it turned off. Then, any operations performed using JavaScript will be useless. The same thing applies for cookies. The only 100% reliable thing to do is server side. In this case there are two options: consolidate all the options into one list or have users submit the first list to a second run of the script (or a second page) and storing the value of the choices from the first list in a hidden input tag. As far as dynamically generating list boxes off of a database, check out my SQL Solution class, http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/. It'll make your life easier.
