Is it posible to prevent users selecting a term within a vocabulary. I have the following setup:

Category
--Parent
-- Child

I dont want users to be able to select "Parent". It should show in the dropdown list but should not be selectable. Only "Child" should be slectable. Is this possible??

I can see its working on the Drupal site here. I tried to save this post into "General" category but got an error message. How can I achieve this?

its already working on the drupal site here. you cant save into vocabulary containers. there must be a module for this.

Something tells me that this is something that you can control in the View itself. Have you tried looking through the Views issue queue for any information about this option?

I believe this module can do it nicely: http://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select

I tested with Simple hierarchical select module (https://www.drupal.org/project/shs) but it I have not achieved what I wanted. Select With Style module does exactly what I want, that is make parent options become labels, which cannot be selected (using the Select list, styled optgroups widget).
