5pieces: Chained selects for EE
Leveraging a couple of jQuery plugins and adding in some PHP, John Donovan walks you through how to create chained selects for ExpressionEngine.
This tutorial is based on the instruction provided for the Simple chained combobox plugin for jQuery by Ziadin Givan.
While merging it with ExpressionEngine we also learn about the weblog:categories tag, PHP in your templates the Input Class.
(What are chained selects? A select menu whose selection determines what options are available in another select menu, etc.)
Excellent tutorial and a technique that will surely come in handy for a future EE site.
