I am trying to play with a Countries -> Cities dynamically updating
select
box.that is if someone selects a country then all the cities of that
country must be listed.Does anyone know of any data source for this?
I searched for it but couldnt find any good usable source.
Better still is there a module which I can mixin for this?
Thanks

you can do it the Ajax way…
The article uses Ajax to replace the entire SELECT element, since the
author found it impossible to replace the innerHTML. I wonder if it
might be possible to use RJS[1] for something like this, and have the
ajax return javascript to repopulate the SELECT ?

Well Actually I got that part working. and Yes I had to replace the
entire
innerHTML including the select tag but then that was ok because other
than a
few countries for which I had an option of showing cities,I just wanted
to
show a blank text box. My only problem now is to figure out if there is
anyway to do the ascyn ajax update only if the value is one of the
countries
i want to show a select option for. Because this results in unnecssary
calls
to the server.
I guess I have to modify the generated javascript.
