Using dependent fields without Javascript

I was wondering if it was possible to make a "dependent" field in a web form without using Javascript ?

My code consists in this :

<select>
    <option value="1">Value 1</option>
    <option value="2">Value 2</option>
    <option value="3">Value 3</option>
</select>

And when I select a value, another select is populated, via JQuery's $.post(), with data fetched from my database.

But how can I keep this if the browser has JS disabled, or do not support Javascript ?

Thanks in advance

There is no way to trigger an event like this. You need to reload the document and pass your data through some server code. (PHP or something else)

Looking at the HTML5's specification of option and select elements, I would say it's impossible.
