quick update.... I found a plugin called selectCombo which appears to do exactly what I want.
http://code.google.com/p/jqueryselectcombo/ I am having one problem though. After I encode by MySQL response in JSON format as required, nothing happens. It appears that I need to reformat the JSON response from its current response of: [{"regionState":"AZ","regionName":"Maricopa"}, {"regionState":"AZ","regionName":"Pinal County"}] to what I think is required: [{oV: 'myfirstvalue', oT: 'myfirsttext'}, {oV: 'mysecondvalue', oT: 'mysecondtext'}] Is this possible? If so, how do I go about replacing or reformatting the JSON response to include the oV and oT parameters?
