Form User Interface for very large taxonomy trees with multiple select

Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on February 2, 2009 - 1:28pm

We have a tricky user interface problem for taxonomy.

We have a very large hierarchical vocabulary, and multiple terms can be selected.

Currently the tree is much too large to reasonably navigate and control-click, control-click the terms one-by-one without a disastrous mistake

As it stands now SCF's project manager would prefer a type-ahead completion like free tagging terms get.

but it doesn't look promising
