Description
Hello,
First thanx for thi great module.
I am new to drupal and also to PHP. I will use the Fixed Data Dropdown in my project, but i dont know how to change the Activeselect to a dropdown, because i need to dependent dropdowns (Country->Cityes). Please help me. I have tried to change the type of the form element into "select" but it didn't work.

Hi
I'm not sure exactly what you have got working, and which bits are not working.
Basically, you will need a database of Countrys, Citys, which you will load into the fixed data dropdown field type configuration. The, the user will get an active select area where they type a name (like France), - they may type F, in which case they will get a select array for France, Finland,.... When the user selects France, they will then be able to select the actual city they wanted in the dependent drop-down (which will be a normal "select") (i.e. Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, Nice, ...)
I hope this is what you want?
If not - please get in touch via the contact form, and I can try and help you :-)
