Creating a categorized list

I would like to create a page where a user can select from a drop down of choices, then, based on their initial selection, they would be given other options until they reach an end point.

Is there a module in CMSMS that would assist in this or is this something I would have to write from scratch? I am hoping to leverage a wizard style utility that can assist in building this, and want the items in the drop downs to be populated from a database.

Thanks

Not sure, what you want to do, but you can rewrite MenuManagers templates so they uses option/select fields instead unordered lists.

To be a little more specific, I am going to write an application that allows a user to select a type of food (american, chinese, japanese, italian, etc) from a drop down menu. From there, if they select american, I am going to ask if they want delivery or not. From there I will give them a listing of restaurants. Think MenuManager is right for this?

Yes, I think it can be done with MenuManager and the right page structure. You have only to rewrite menumanager template from a unordered list to a form.
