I am creating a custom list used for training. It starts with a dropdown list listing each department, and there is a separate training checklist for each department. I am wanting to have the trainer be able to click on the dropdown list to choose the department, and then have that department's checklist be populated below it. I do not have access to InfoPath and I am fairly new to Sharepoint. I believe the version is 12.0.0.6421. I'm not sure what all information is pertinent, so I apologize if I am lacking up front. Thanks.

This is called a cascading drop-down and isn't available out-of-box. Take a look at all the comments on this screencast I did, with people chiming in about different products and ways to accomplish this in SharePoint: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2009/12/31/infopath-cascading-drop-down-screencast/Laura Rogers, MCSE, MCTS SharePoint911: SharePoint Consulting Blog: http://www.sharepoint911.com/blogs/laura Twitter: WonderLaura

Thank you. I downloaded the jquery scripts, but I don't quite understand what to do with them. It says there's nothing to install server-side. but doesn't say what to do with them after you downloaded them.

To use jQuery, you could upload the jquery.js to one of you SharePoint document library and use the following code to add a reference. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://yoursite/yourlibrary/jquery.js"></script> If your site is published to internet, the Microsoft or Google CDN is an alternative.
