I need a module for my site that is similar to a Country/State/City drop down select menu, but I need it for the categories, since my site consists of multiple categories and the last box will bring up the list of products, anyone interested? Would appreciate a quote
I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Do you mean a side module? One that displays the categories in a drop-down instead of a list of links? And then displays another dynamically-filled drop-down with the products in that category?
Also, you say triple drop-down -- what is the third drop-down? Do you have two different category set-ups?
Let me know those answers and I'll PM you an estimate.

There are some missing details I suppose. I assume you want this to work with store products?
So you are never going to have more than 2 categories deep and then the products will follow that?
Like
1st choice: Desktops
2nd choice -- Dell
3rd choices:
-- Inspiron
-- Dimension
-- XPS

Pretty much how you have it Qphoria but the last selection never actually brings up a "selection box" with a populated list of products, it just navigates to the products that are in that category. After the last category is selected, it will take you to the products that exist in that category(pagination). So for example the very last category that was selected in the tree would contain this url path..."index.php?route=product/category&path=1_10_100"
I'm terrible at explaining things, so Ive attached an image, I don't think its extremely hard, but my knowledge with AJAX is very limited and think that's more or less what it will require. Its just 3 levels deep by the way like shown in the image.
Would appreciate it,
thanks

Yes, I started on the plan of attack, Just want to make sure its going to work.
I assume you will never have more than 3 levels of categories? And you will never have any items within the first 2 levels of categories? only the third level?

even unlimited categories and products in the category aren't that hard to work around tbh. bit of recursion and a check for products in a category and job done, pass that data back to the client side via JSON and update the GUI to reflect that data
I actually have it started.. but am having a hard time with making the page reload with the correct selected drop downs. Instead I made it use an ajax load to do it, but it isn't really the best way to do it since the url doesn't match
You can see what I have here:

I made it completely dynamic so that is loads a new dropdown only if there is a subcategory, which makes it a little more usable for everyone, but it was friday last week when I was trying this and my brain was in weekend mode so I haven't looked at it since then
