Answer 1

You can easily do this with jQuery. If you give the first select an id of "type", you can add the following jQuery:

        $(document).ready(function(){

            $("select[name='txt_specialize']").hide();

            $("select#type").change(function(){
                if($(this).val() == 'Doctor')
                {
                    $("select[name='txt_specialize']").hide();
                }
                else
                    $("select[name='txt_specialize']").show();
            });

        });

Answer 2

Attach a change event to your first select box.

http://api.jquery.com/change/

In the callback, update the selectbox content for your taste.

Answer 3

Add data-attributes to txt_specialize $s and done write script like this: select doctor

$('#doctor').change(function(e){
     var doc = $('#doctor').val();
     $("#specialist option").each(
     function(){
        if ($(this).attr('data-doctor')==doc){
          $(this).show()
        }else{
           $(this).hide()  
        }
     })
})
