 * Hi Donmik,
 * I there a way to link fields?
    Game Type (Parent category) Game Title (Sub/child
   category)
 * Example my site is about cars and they have following values:
 * Make (parent)
    Honda Volkwagen …. more
 * Type (child/sub)
    Honda -Civic -S2000 Volkwagen -Golf -Passat
 * A member search for a specific car, let say Honda, he/she search in the make 
   field for honda, in type it only shows the Honda types not other type.
 * Thank you,

 * I believe the easier way should be creating 2 textboxes and coding some javascript,
   converting those fields in chained dropdown boxes…
