Jquery Select Tree - parent-child select elements

This jquery plugin manages multiple select inputs in a hierarchy that have parent/child relationships.

When an option from a parent is selected, the child is populated with specific options for that parent using a callback that can support AJAX.

Your best starting point is probably to look at the example code, but here's how your top-level select object might look:

<select
	data-callback="populateAuthors"
	data-child="books"
	data-child-callback="populateBooks"
	name="author"
	id="author">
</select>

You can also see a live example over on jsfiddle.net
