you can try this in html
<tr>
<td align="right">choice:</td>
<td>  <select name="airpair">
<option rel="none" value="do not populate">do not populate</option>
<option rel="pop" value="populate">populate</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr rel="pop">
		<td  align="right" class="question"><span 
class="accessibility">If pop:</span> populated<select name="populated">
<option   value="5">5</option>
<option  value="10">10</option>
<option  value="15">15</option>
<option  value="20">20</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
