Personally I can't think of a decent middle ground atm, perhaps when (or rather if), the bug reporting system is updated to the "new" php.net design, this could be a task ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-26 11:38:11] bert at elicom dot nl Description: ------------ Concerns: https://bugs.php.net/report.php The "Package affected" <select> (drop-down) on the bug report page has 359 entries. Even with the non-breaking spaces in front of sub-entries, this is user-unfriendly. The select should be split into a <select> for the main category, and an additional (new) <select> that will update based on the main category. If you have no idea how to do this, the following jQuery code might help you get started: $("#first-choice").change(function() { $("#second-choice").load("getter.php?choice=" + $("#first-choice").val()); }); Then, in getter.php simply print() the "<option value="...">...</option>" entries that should show up for $_GET['choice']. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76273&edit=1
