Greetings, After being frustrated, and haven't exactly found what I need. I'm proposing a New package. I'm new to PEAR. So I'll start the discussion here, and then write a proper proposal. Please advise me on what I should/shouldn't do. The problem is that sometimes you want to have to drop down menus( <SELECT> ) When the user selects a value in one drop down, it would automatically populate a "Chained" Drop down. Without a page refresh ofcourse. It should be done one the client side, using Javascript. That's the basic description for now. Please give me your comments/Feedback

I believe HTML_QuickForm's hierselect element type already does this. But some of us quake in fear at using Quickform :)

I think you'd be better showing an example HTML page of what you are talking about, and either the code, or an outline of the code design.. Regards Alan
