Filtering lookup columns

Good day all, I bring you another tweak for Sharepoint. In  Sharepoint 2010 and Cascade Lookups I've shown you how to filter a lookup column based on the value of another. Now, what if you want to filter a column, based on a query of the source list?

Sharepoint 2010 and Cascade Lookups

Here I am for another great tip. One of the things that lack in Sharepoint 2010 is the ability to create Cascade Lookup columns. This is, to filter the options of a lookup column based on the value of another.

Around the web you can find many solutions, I used one hosted in Codeplex http://spcd.codeplex.com. The documentation needs some tweak, here you might see how I managed to put it to work.
Also, it has a little problem with Chrome, that I solved.
