There are two ways to do this that I know of, One is to use java script, this will allow you to acommplish the task on a single web page, there are two drawbacks to this: you have to know javascript, which may or may not be compatible between various browsers, and secondly, you would have to load all the data into that html page, which may be restrictive in terms of load time.

the next solution is the one I use, I create a form with a LOV. Below the lov is a selection of radio buttons, with the first one being a drill down option, this takes the value and then finds and displays the 'children' in a form that is the same, IE list of values, radio button options
