How can I create dependent category and subcategory drop down menus? - drop-down-menu

How can I create dependent drop-down menus for category and subcategory, where the subcategory's options are dependent upon what is selected in the category menu? I am creating an e-commerce store. On the admin side I would like to have the user enter products. I am using a form that includes select options for "category" and "subcategory", but I can't find any tutorials or forums that address this specifically.

Magento: Disable products being added to multiple categories

Is it possible to disable users from adding products to multiple categories in the catalog? When a user tries to add a product, it shows all the available categories and sub categories
in the catalog and if the user selects all of them, the same product will be added all over the place in the store. I was wondering if there's a way to restrict that.
There's no way to do what you describe natively in Magento, you would have to write a local module.
