<h3>Clientside hierarchical select</h3>
<p>A simple client-side hierarchical select widget for taxonomy terms.</p>

<pre>git clone --branch 7.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/valderama/2287697.git cshs<br>cd cshs</pre><h3>Similar projects</h3>
<p>Looks similar to <a href="https://drupal.org/project/shs" title="Simple Hierarchical Select">SHS (Simple Hierarchical Select)</a> and <a href="https://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select">Hierarchical select</a>, but in contrast to those modules the whole taxonomy tree is already present at page-load and the whole processing is done "client-side".</p>
<p>The implementation is simpler as most of the work is done by a custom jQuery Plugin which transforms the select-input with the option tree into multiple selects (one for each level in the hierarchy).</p>
<h3> Why another module?</h3>
<p>The different architecture (clientside vs. reload each sub-tree with an additional server-request) justifies the release as a separate module. A pure client side architecture has its limitations (in particular it would not work that nice for 10.000 terms in one vocabulary), but at the same time needing multiple requests for a small hierarchy is not nice either.</p>
