Can I make a dropdown box with all city of my country ? How do that ? Can I separate state/city width 2 linked dropdown box? Thanks a lot for your responses. Chap
Łukasz Serwatka	Tuesday 05 August 2008 12:28:01 am I don't know how many cities in your country is but I assume a thousands thus I don't see point in keeping all country cities in one dropdown box. Just use text string and let users to fill that filed. For states you can create new class and use object relation list which support dropdown list style.

Do you think I can make two other datatype named Region and city? I have read an article about creating datatype in an extension. But now my problem is : If a user selects "France" in the first attribute "ezCountry" on my object, can I propose to the second select box all the city in France. You now what I mean? Thanks
