I have a act_as_tree model ,I want to show it in several select
box,the height of the tree is unknow ,and can be different,how can I do
this in AJAX? Just like I select a country in a select box,the coming
select box is to select a state,but my case is more complicated.
Thx

You may be able to do some cascading select boxes, but you probably
should consider using an autocomplete field instead (depending on your
data).

an unknow depth of tree of the model .that’s I don’t how many select
box should be placed in the view.then how to ?
