jQuery DoubleSelect/Cascade/Dependent/WalkRight Select Menus w/ Ajax Support? - jquery-plugins

Question

Where you can pick an item from a <select> menu and then it populates a second <select> menu.
It goes by too many names and there are too many implementations. I'm looking for an up-to-date one (works well with the latest version of jQuery) that can pull the data using Ajax.
Can anyone recommend a good plugin?

// simple code but can be improved for need
function getListBoxValue(obj) {
obj = $.extend({
url: "",
bindObj: null,
emptyText: "exception",
postValues : {},
onComplete: function () { return true; },
onError: function () { return false; }
}, obj);
$.ajax({
url: obj.url,
data: obj.postValues,
type: "POST",
dataType: "JSON",
success: function (json) {
var options;
$.each(json, function (i, e) {
options += "<option value='" + e.Value + "'>" + e.Text + "</option>";
});
$(obj.bindObj).html(options);
obj.onComplete(obj);
},
error: function (e, xhr) {
$(obj.bindObj).html("<option value='-1'>" + obj.emptyText + "</option>");
obj.onError(obj);
}
});
}
// server response data json
[{ "Value": 1, "Text": "text 1 " },{ "Value": 2, "Text": "text 2"}]
getListBoxValue({
url: responseJsonDataURL, // example
bindObj: $("select#YourID"), // example
emptyText:"exception text", // example
postValues: {"id": 45}, // example
onComplete: _onCompleteFunction, // optional
onError: _onErrorFunction // optional
})
