Is there a way to enable activeselect to work when a category is set as a distant parent and its container's free tagging option is enabled?

For example, we have the choose animal container and the choose breed container. Each category in Choose animal is set as distant parent of certain categories in choose breed container. So whenever we select an animal, then the corresponding breeds will appear in the choose breed container. So far it works fine. But if I make choose animal free tagging enabled, because I would want the user to type in the animal that he/she wants, whenever the user types in something that already exists as a category and has distant children (breeds that is) they don't appear in the choose breed :(

Is there anyway to implement this in the code maybe?

Thanx

I am looking for this same functionality too.

I also need the same functionality. I am using this for countries/cities selection.

Martijnhaan saw that this feature is available in Taxonomy Super Select module but no one is answering him how should he implement it in the category module.

The closest thing that I could find is the solution-strategy that the "CCK Taxonomy Super Select Ultra" module offers. What it does is that it enables the free tagging feature to be hierarchical. That means that it allows you to put a free tag under any category you like. And it works fine with the category module. The only problem now that i have is that I have to make it understand what is a distant parent, so if it does not find any direct parents, it will look for distant parents and allow the free tag to have as distant parent the selected one. Moreover, this module is just CCK it does not actually set the tag to the node. But i think it will be easy to fix that, no?
