Select option,get the option value before submit

Question

I have 3 dropdown lists where selecting a value in 2 dropdowns triggers the 3rd dropdown to also change.

for example:

If the first dropdown list is 1 and the second dropdown list is name then the third drowpdown lists should query the Database and retrieve rows from 1name. Then, when I click on the 3rd dropdown list, it'll show me the rows from 1name.

Please help me
