making a CCK select / option list with parent / children?

I want to create a CCK option / select widget using taxonomy terms. However, I want the parent term bold and not selectable and just the children of each term selectable. Can someone explain how to do this? The technique is used a lot, even on drupal.org when submitting content.

Thanks,
Blue

Hi, thanks for responding. If you click 'create content' -> 'issue' the 'projects' select field is a perfect example.

That select box is generated

That select box is generated in the function project_issue_pick_project_form() in issue.inc in the project_issue module (http://drupal.org/project/project_issue). It calls the project_projects_select_options() function in project.module (http://drupal.org/project/project) to get the list of options. Maybe you can learn from that code how to do it.
