</select></td>
<script>
$('#cat').change(function() {
var options = '';
if($(this).val() == 'category') {
    options = '<select name="criteria"><?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM categories");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$cat = $row[“category”];
?><?php echo $cat; ?><?php }
?>’;
}
else if ($(this).val() == ‘product’){
options = ‘’;
}

$('#ca').html(options);
