Christophe:

You are correct: to use the Web Services, the user needs to be authenticated on the client side for my library to be of use. I don’t believe that there is any way around this, which is reasonable from a security perspective.

You can call the Web Services server-side, of course, but that’s not my realm here.

Marc – I don’t use the SharePoint Web Services much, and the main reason is that they only work for authenticated users.
Do you have a solution to make this library work for anonymous users?

I assume that you mean SPCascadeDropdowns. That enhancement is on the list, as quite a few people have asked for it. I hope to make the function work such that either or both the parent and child can be multi-selects in the next few weeks. If you Twitter, follow @jQSPWS for updates or watch the Codeplex site for new releases.

Is there a way where you can allow multiple selections on a drop down with this solution. For example, your parent column would be Process, your child column would be sub process, and you want to select multiple sub processes?

Great to hear, Matt. Let me know if you have any problems, and especially if you have suggestions.

We’ve been using this library for the past few weeks for the SPCascadeDropdown functionality and it’s been fantastic.
