So what you're going to do, is select out all the possible options using ASP or whatever server side script you have. Then when the combobox's onchange event fires pass a string or arr (of possible options) to the script and parse it for the ones that match the current value of the combobox. Its really not that hard, parsing is prolly the worst and it'll only take a few lines.
Mail me if you need more help.
I thought about the client having to access my database through a script after I wrote the first post. What your talking about is exactly what I did.
