 * Apologies for posting this twice but I have lost my original request and forgot
   to tick the box to be notified of replies.
 * I need a way to either:
    a. Have dynamically updating drop down boxes based upon
   categories/sub categories. This is for admin area not front end. I will have 
   lots of categories and sub categories and I do not want my client to have to 
   scroll through pages of them to locate the correct one when creating a new post.
   Example: Client selects United Kingdom from drop down menu which then loads a
   2nd drop menu and they select a UK city. OR b. If the above is not feasible then
   is it at least possible to have the categories showing as drop down boxes rather
   than pages and pages of each category/sub category?
 * There is a great module for Drupal that allows me to do this but I would much
   rather use WordPress.
 * Apologies if you have read a previous post of mine but as I say I cant seem to
   find it.
 * Any help would be grateful.
 * Cheers
    Paul
