Cascading drop-downs

I have read your post on Cascading drop downs, but since i do not own Cross-site lookup, i was a little confused.

I have 2 Site Columns.

termType is a Choice Field with the following possible values (For Cause, Lay-Off, Voluntary)

termReason is a Lookup Field which points to the Reason column on the lookup list "TermReasons".

The other column on that list has the same values as the termType field (For Cause, Lay-Off, Voluntary).

Can i make a cascading drop down where termType matches up with the title column in the TermReasons list, and thus filters termReason choices?

If so, how can i use the code provided in your post?

Cross Site Lookup allows to use custom queries for requests, giving the ability to filter the result set. Regular SP lookup field doesn't have this ability. So, the answer to your question would be to buy a Cross Site Lookup license.

An alternative way to accomplish cascading drop-down using SPForm and Javascript is detailed by Mark Rackly on his blog at http://www.markrackley.net/2014/05/20/c ... sing-rest/
