Has the proposal ever been brought up for a hierarchial selection list in a form, or a method to nest selection lists? Such as... <select name="catagory"> <option value="sports">Sports <select> <option value="baseball">Baseball <option value="basketball">Basketball </select> <option value="Entertainment"> <select> <option value="television">Television <option value="theatre">Theatre </select> </select> Unfortunately, the HTML 2.0 draft says that SELECT can't be nested (perhaps a SUBSELECT tag would work for the sublists?). I can think of a few good uses for such a mechanism (such as an easier to manage Add URL entry form for Yahoo). I doubt that I'm the only one that considered this. Anyone out there know of any other good reasons for such a mechanism (or reasons against?) ----------------------- Christopher P.
