I'm having trouble with drop down boxes with javascript.
What I want to do is sett a lot of classes in CSS to hidden and then change them to visible and the others to hidden depending on which item is selected in the drop down box but since I know almost nothing about java script, I can't find any tutorials on doing this. Everything I find is either extremely old coding style of goes into long and very complex setups.
Anyone got some links to put me in the right direction?
hopefully this will give you a start.

Thank you! Now if anyone has any links about adding and removing items from drop down boxes that would be awesome.
Basically I'm trying to use 3 seperate drop down boxes and selecting 1 thing in the 1st one changed what the 2nd and 3rd will contain.
javascript is confusion. I am searching google and can't find examples of what I'm looking for and when I find something that's related, 10 tutorials do it 10 different ways. I'm going to buy a book next week.
EDIT: Nevermind. I got it working :)
