Hello

I have a taxonomy-system:

location = vocab

continents = term level 0

-- countrys = term level 1

---- cities = term level 2

i made a filter system in views with "exposed filters" to navigate/select the terms to show a list-view as the result.

is use the module views filterblock to only have the "exposed filters" visible in a block ...

the problem:

1. is it possible to show first only the continents (level 0) as a drop-down form-element and if i select for a continent i get a second form-element that depends on the selected term-value with the next level (level 1) in it and so on (level 2 etc.)?

for example i select "europe" and get a list of countries in the next drop-down without submitting ("ajax-like" - behaviour) - is there a module or are there some snippets?

2. is it possible to have exposed filters as checkboxes, radiobuttons etc.?

thanks a lot and greetings
momper

The Ajax looks like it changes the view's result, whereas Momper's looking for something to change the filter choices.

Basically, I think she's looking for something that takes user input in the style of Fixed Data Dropdown (http://drupal.org/project/FixedDataDropdown) or Moofie's no-javascript approach (http://blue.live4all.co.il/~mooffie/cms/node/15) -- but uses that to set exposed filters within Views.

Unfortunately I'm not very technical and don't see how to use either of those methods for exposed filters in Views.

I'd also really like a way to do this.
