AJAX parent selection available

The categoryi module has just gotten its first sprinkling of AJAX! On the add / edit category form, when you now change the containeri that a category has, the list of available parentis changes on-the-fly to match. You no longer have to change the container, then save the category, then re-edit it to get an updated list of parents.

This feature, however, is only available if you install the newly-released active select module. Active select provides a new AJAX-enabled select element that any module can use, to allow one select list to dynamically link to and affect another one. Without active select, the category module behaves the same as it always has.

This is a major usability improvement, as well as a really cool new gadget. The idea is that active select is generic enough that it can be re-used by other modules, and hopefully it will prove itself capable of this task. If other module developers decide to use active select, it may lead to a usability improvement in a whole lot of Drupal modules.
