Hi,

Did you consider using page reloads? Everybody seems to take the - painful - ajax route, but you might not need to do that.

This means that every time you enter a value in a select box you submit the page and the next select box is filled using a simple find.

As soon as you submit all fields you can start processing the data.

Regards,

Maurits

I am currently trying to work out populating select boxes based on the
previous select box. For example, if I am adding a new Item and select a
Product (within the item/add.ctp), and that specific product hasMany
Category, I want the categories that product is associated with to
populate in the category select box, so I don't need to sift through all
unrelated categories.

Can anyone give me some advice on the best route for this or guide me to
a tutorial? Thanks : )
