Drupal V5

There is a new module called dependatDropdown, which offers a two level Dropdown Select List fuction.

This is nice, but it jumps right over the power of Taxonomy.

It would very useful to have this offer choices from a determined Vocab. at level one which would pull from another Vocab, based on the choice the user has selected.

a simple example would be

a State (vocab=USA Term=State Name) selection, would trigger the correct City/County Select List to appear for use.

Thank you for considering

Title: Vocab/Terms 2 Level Dependent DropDown Select List » Filter by taxonomy

You can create fields depending on the taxonomy terms. At least this works for nodes with only one vocabulary assigned to. The filter for the dependant field I tried is "taxonomy", it works.

And i take it back, what i said before. It seems it only works with the first vocabulary. I already thought it won't be that easy...

I'd also be interested in providing functionality for this module to reflect back taxonomy terms in a hierarchical fashion... can this be provided?

Thank you.

This would be a fantastic feature, as I am looking for this functionality (my own feature search has made me bias-- objectivity is an illusion, afterall). Should this be something for CCK only, or a core feature for taxonomy itself? The question is worth answering, isn't it?

oh that is cool, the way they slide in and out - nice very nice. I never seen that done before - anywhere

have this been tested on large lists?

The reason I ask is that - with Super Select and using a State, City setup, I have been timing out and been unable to use those modules
