A JQuery plugin for creating and deleting dependent selects dynamically based on data.
Designed to allow a user to drill down into a hierarchy of unknown depth (e.g. categories).
For more information, check out the wiki!
Basic initialization:
$("select.root").cascading({
url: "someurl/getoptions?parent={0}"
});
The url option can be a function.
$("select.root").cascading({
url: function(val, elem, parent) {
return "someurl/" + (parent ? (parent.id + "/") : "") + elem.id + (val ? "/" + val : "") + "/";
}
});
You can also use the onValueChanged option to run custom code when the selected value changes.
$("select.root").cascading({
url: "someurl/getoptions?parent={0}",
onValueChanged: function(elem, val, text) {
selectedValue = val;
}
});
Output is a sequence of select elements:
