1. hello Adnan,

   this is regarding the article u posted” How to Implement Ajax in WordPress Themes ”
   in the template file i added this custom taxonomy called state

   ” wp_dropdown_categories(‘show_count=0&selected=-1&hierarchical=1&depth=1&hide_empty=0&exclude=1&show_option_none=Main Categories&name=main_cat&taxonomy=state’); ”

   now im able to populate the taxonomy terms in the drop down, but when i give the sub taxonomy(child) of the state, in here

   ” $categories= get_categories(‘child_of=’.$_POST[‘main_catid’].’hide_empty=0&taxonomy=city’); ”

   the drop down does not populate the child taxonomies, but the 2nd drop down is in active when i select the 1st drop down.

2. Sorry Little correction i have the following structure

   * Animals

   Dog
   Cat
   Tiger
   Lion

   * Vehicles

   Scooter
   Bike
   Car
   Truck

   im getting the 1st drop down as Animals and Vehicles, when i select Animals im not getting the sub cat values, i changed the code in
   ” $categories= get_categories(‘child_of=’.$_POST[‘main_catid’].’hide_empty=0&taxonomy=city’); ” to as
   ” $categories= get_categories(‘child_of=’.$_POST[‘main_catid’].’hide_empty=0′); ”

   still it does not populate the sub cats. but when i increased the depth –> 2 in
   ” wp_dropdown_categories(‘show_count=0&selected=-1&hierarchical=1&depth=2&hide_empty=0&exclude=1&show_option_none=Main Categories&name=main_cat&taxonomy=state’); ”

   im getting this in the 1st drop down

   * Animals

   Dog
   Cat
   Tiger
   Lion

   * Vehicles

   Scooter
   Bike
   Car
   Truck
