Chained Dropdowns with Spry Search
Build "chained dropdowns" functionality.
In this brief tutorial you will learn how to build "chained dropdowns" functionality using one of the tools from the Spry Data Utilities Toolkit - Spry Search Object.
"Chained dropdowns" is one of the terms that can be used to describe a hierarchy of two or more dropdown menus where making a selection from an upper level menu results in the change of options in the menus on the lower levels (causes a "chain reaction").
Conclusion
Needless to say you can use the pattern described in this article for as many levels of dropdown menus as needed. Just don't forget to follow your naming conventions consistently.
