Barry recently did some javascript voodoo on the iowarealty.com web site 
to do rotating images... the PHP code builds a Javascript array, which 
loops thru the images. You could probably do something similar - load a 
javascript array, and in your onchange for the first control, have it 
load the second one from the array.
