Is there an updated method for implementing a "Dependent Select" list?

getz.hl@gmail.com

I have two drop-down lists. I wish to have the second list populate, based on the selection within the first list. Searching the site, I found a previous question (from 2013), which suggested that an updated method may have been implemented in a later version. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Here is the previous discussion: https://datatables.net//forums/discussion/16835.

The dependent() method which was introduced in Editor 1.4 which can be used to implement dependent select lists.
