The activeselect module is a new addition to Drupal contrib, that defines a new type of select form element. Each activeselect element has one or more 'targets' defined: the targets are other form elements - either regular select boxes, or other activeselect boxes. When the user selects a new option in an activeselect element, their selection is immediately sent back to the server (using AJAX), and the server sends back a list of new options with which to populate the 'target' elements. The activeselect module is here: http://drupal.org/node/49976 I am posting this message here, because I think that this kind of functionality could be of immense benefit in many of the UIs in Drupal contrib (and possibly even Drupal core). Activeselect is so far only being used by the category module (http://drupal.org/node/39683), but it has been designed with reusability in mind. It is a component that can increase the usability of complex forms, and if used properly, it can degrade gracefully. I would like to encourage all module developers to consider any user interfaces in your modules that could benefit from select boxes linked by AJAX, and to make use of the activeselect module if appropriate. How you integrate activeselect into a module is completely up to you. All it does is provide the framework and the necessary JS library: the real power of this module depends on what an activeselect callback function is programmed to do. In the case of the category module, it is quite significant. Instructions for developers have now been written, and can be found in the API.txt file included with the activeselect module. These instructions tell you everything you need to know, to start making use of activeselect elements in your module's forms. The module is still quite new, and although it has been thoroughly tested and it functions correctly (in IE and Gecko/FF - feedback on other browsers appreciated), it definitely still has some rough edges. In particular, the code could probably be a bit cleaner than it is (especially in the category module's callback implementation).
