/**
* @defgroup ajax_degradation_example Example: AJAX Graceful Degradation
* @ingroup examples
* @{
* These examples show AJAX with graceful degradation when Javascript is not
* available.
*
* In each of these the key idea is that the form is rebuilt different ways
* depending on form input. In order to accomplish that, the formbuilder
* function is in charge of almost all logic.

/**
* Dropdown form based on previous choices.
*
* A form with a dropdown whose options are dependent on a choice made in a
* previous dropdown.
*
* On changing the first dropdown, the options in the second
* are updated. Gracefully degrades if no javascript.
*
* A bit of CSS and javascript is required. The CSS hides the "add more" button
* if javascript is not enabled. The Javascript snippet is really only used
* to enable us to present the form in degraded mode without forcing the user
* to turn off Javascript. Both of these are loaded by using the
* #attached FAPI property, so it is a good example of how to use that.
*
* The extra argument $no_js_use is here only to allow presentation of this
* form as if Javascript were not enabled. ajax_example_menu() provides two
* ways to call this form, one normal ($no_js_use = FALSE) and one simulating
* Javascript disabled ($no_js_use = TRUE).
