Hi,
You can replace a select list's item by doing something like the following in javascript:
function fillState(country)
     var statelist = document.getElementById("StateList");
     statelist.length=0;
     var opt = new Option;
     var statenames = getStateNames(country);
     var optioncount = 0;
     var isSelected = false;
     for (var n = 0; n < statenames.length; n++)
          opt = new Option;
          opt.value = statenames[n][0];
          opt.text = statenames[n][1];
          statelist.options[optioncount] = opt;
          optioncount++;
Without knowing more about the data you get back, I couldn't tell you how to adjust the above to suit your needs.
In this example, I have an array populated with state codes and names which I then loop through to add into the select list. The "statelist.length=0" line at the beginning clears out any previous data.
Hopefully this should give you an idea of what's needed.
