Subject: Edit page category/locale selection
In the edit node page, have the categories and locales be optionally selectable from a drop-down box of existing nodes, to reduce the number of mispellings/duplicates. Probably could use javascript to streamline this. http://openguides.org/mail/openguides-dev/2005-January/000844.html

> Probably could use javascript to streamline this.
In discussions recently the idea of doing this via AJAX was raised. I.e. Type: "c" and you get a dropdown with Caribbean Food Chinese Food Chip Shops Churches Clothes then type "h" and the list is reduced to Chinese Food Chip Shops Churches then type "i" and the list is reduced to Chinese Food Chip Shops and so on. And at any point you can click a category name to select it. This is beyond my JavaScript skills at present, but seems a realistic prospect: for a working example of this idea, see Google Suggest at http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1 .
