I'm looking for a specific kind of menu, to help customers get to a product they need easily.
You find them often when searching for drivers.
First box asks for what product you have, after the selection, the second box loads asking what model,then the third box loads asking what OS you have, then takes you to a page that fitting for your product.

I'm not sure what this style of menu is called, so I have no way of looking up how to do one.
Any one know?

I'm not sure what the specific name for this style is either, but it can be accomplished in many ways.

You can preload all options (assuming the lists are not too lengthy) and use javascript to display each set.

You can use separate forms and thus use a server side language between each selection.

You can also use ajax (js) to make queries on the selected items if the lists are extremely long.
