 * Hi,
 * I’m using this fantastic plugin to filter different aircraft so that users can
   refine their search when trying to research a specific aircraft. I’ve managed
   so far to use three different select boxes next to each other; the first being
   aircraft category, the second for aircraft brand and the third for aircraft model.
 * I was just wondering if i’d be able to make it so that once, for example, an 
   aircraft category is selected, the second drop-down select box shows only brands
   that are under that chosen category, and the third select box then only shows
   aircraft models that fall under the previously chosen aircraft brand. I apologise
   for the long question, any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
 * Paddy.

 * Hi Paddy,
    sorry, I think you tried to reach out to me on another channel to,
   I’ve missed that, sorry.
 * It will need a bit of work, to realize what you want. But you can do so with 
   the option “Show field only when…” in the diaog boxes. So you could create a 
   selectbox for all aircrafts. Lets say, you have aircraft “A” and “B”. Once you
   did this, you create a selectbox which only contains the brands of aircraft “
   A” and you define, this selectbox should only be visible, once “A” has been selected.
   And so on.
 * I hope, you understand, what I mean 🙂

 * That works fine! I’ve managed to use “show fields only”. Thanks for your fast
   reply. One last thing, is there any chance that instead of the select box being
   invisible until an aircraft is selected, its instead visible but maybe in slightly
   tinted colours? I’m sorry for not explaining it too well…
    Thanks.
