You can try this jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Chran/1/

HTML

<div>
<select ID="DropDownList1" Height="72px" Width="184px">
    <option Value="1">All</option>
    <option Value="2">Apples</option>
    <option Value="2">Orange</option>
    <option Value="3">Onion</option>
</select>
<br />
<select ID="DropDownList2" Height="18px" Width="187px">
    <option Value="Apple_Style_1">Apple Style 1</option>
    <option Value="Apple_Style_2">Apple Style 2</option>
    <option Value="Apple_Style_3">Apple Style 3</option>
    <option Value="Orange_Style_1">Orange Style 1</option>
    <option Value="Orange_Style_2">Orange Style 2</option>
    <option Value="Orange_Style_3">Orange Style 3</option>
    <option Value="Orange_Style_4">Orange Style 4</option>
    <option Value="Onion_Style_1">Onion Style 1</option>
    <option Value="Onion_Style_2">Onion Style 2</option>
</select>
</div>​

JavaScript

var options = $("#DropDownList2").html();
$("#DropDownList1").change(function(e) {
    var text = $("#DropDownList1 :selected").text();
    $("#DropDownList2").html(options);
    if(text == "All") return;
    $('#DropDownList2 :not([value^="' + text.substr(0, 3) + '"])').remove();
});​

You will have to change the Id, according to the ASP.Net Control Id.

Hope this helps you.
