 * Hello everyone,
 * I have set up a Jobs Board using wordpress and have used Custom Fields to type
   in Job Type, Location etc.
 * I was wondering if there was a plugin available that allowed me to select from
   a dropdown menu what goes into each Custom field.
 * For example, if I have a job located in Manchester, I’d have to select the Job
   Type custom field and then type in Manchester. What I want to do is be able to
   select the Job Type custom field and then have a drop down menu with a list of
   locations where I can select Manchester.
 * There will be a few people using this site and so spelling mistakes may be enevitable
   if they have to type in a location everytime.
 * It wouldn’t be much of an issue only I’m using a search plugin that uses information
   from the custom fields to generate a dropdown menu.
 * So if someone typed in Manchester, and Machester, then on the search dropdown
   menu for Location it will have Manchester and Machester.
 * Is there a plugin or hack that will allow me to do this?
 * Thanks in advance.
