Hi
I have a Multi Select box, the values in which are dependent on the values in a select box. e.g if i select a value 'x' in the combo box, the Multi select box(MSB) will have all the values having Id as 'x'. Now if I change the value in the combo box to 'y' the values in the MSB should now be the ones that have Id as 'y'. All this needs to be done using javascript on the client side.

Snippet of the MSB code... I am using Struts 1.1 tags

is there a way to use this but the values to be populated should be dynamic and not static? i mean, is there a way to retrieve records from the database in javascript?

You need to make a request to the server to get the values. You are going to have to do it through a post back or the popular Ajax request.
