Hi All, I want to show the categories in a form which has n no. of childrens with n no. of chain. for ex.

category1          ---category2                      ---category3                      ---category4          ---category5                       ---category6                       ---category7                                   ---category8                                               ..... and so on.........

what is a best way to show this so that user can easily recognize what category is he selected. idon't want to show all the categories in same drop-down because it gets difficult for user to find required category and also he also not came to know that whcih parent category it belongs.

Regards,

Salil Gaikwad

use acts_as_category   acts_as_category (Version 1.0)

*acts_as_category*, is yet another acts_as plugin for Ruby on Rails ActiveRecord models. Copyright is 2009 by <a href="http:// www.optimalsturm.com">www.optimalsturm.com

If everything is set up, you can actually use the plugin. Let's say you have trees like this and your model is called *Category*.

  root1 root2    \_ child1 \_ child2         \_ subchild1 \subchild3         \_ subchild2 \subchild4
