Thanks Ed :)
Ok, off the top of my head - I see that every other form field you
specify as:
[code]
$form->input('fieldname', ...);
[/code]
Note, you use only the fieldname without the modelname.
But for the region, you attach Search as the modelname! Have you tried
to remove it?
Does the region view (the one which is returned using Ajax) only
contain the form field without having a form create and end?
What does the HTML look like, when the region is first populated after
you choose a country? Is it defined as:
[code]
... name="data[Search][region]" ...
[/code]
You have to make it look like the other fieldnames! (I assume they
differ!)
Enjoy,
John
