Author Inherited jump menus

What I want to do is this; Have three dropdown menus (similar to jump menus),
where menu 2 would populate its options dependent upon what the visitor selects
in menu 1, and menu 3 would populate its options dependent upon what the
visitor selects in menu 2. Then when the visitor makes a selection from menu 3
they are taken to the appropriate page.

Here's an example:
John visits "aircraft.com" because he is looking for information about a
Cessna. He clicks on the first menu, which gives him the options of "Jets",
"Propeller" and "Helicopter".
He chooses "Propeller" and the second menu gives him the selections of "Cargo"
and "Passenger".
He chooses "Passenger" and the third menu gives him the choices of "Cessna"
"Piper" "Mooney" and "Sabre".
He chooses "Cessna" and is taken to a page listing various models of Cessnas.
Jeff visits "aircraft.com" looking for information about a Lear jet. He clicks
on the first menu and selects "Jets"
The second menu gives him the selections of "Military" and "Civilian" and he
selects "Civilian".
The third menu gives him the options of "Gulfstream" and "Learjet"
He clicks on Learjets and is taken to the appropriate page.

Preferably the results woud appear on the same page as the menus , just below
them. Does anyone know how to do this?

Are you using sever side scripting? If so what? asp, cf, js .net makes a
difference how you would do it.
