[rm-users] Custom SmartForm with multi-select

[Don Kidd]

Tejas,

We too have done the same thing, with a lot of JS and hidden parms.

But I have 1 more feature that I believe our users would like to have 
implemented.  Can anyone change the values in param 2 based upon what is 
selected in param 1?
