I am using a SAEF (EE1) to allow members of my site to create an entry. I have three category groups, and I’d like them to select one group to be “associated” with (and then select categories from the group they choose). Is that possible?
or
I have 1 category group with 3 parent categories… can I show just the parent categories?
I am using category_menu - but is there a way the user can have a checkbox or radio select instead of a multiselect box?

Thanks Brad. That’s for EE2 and I’m still on ye olde ee 1 for this project.
In re-reading my original post, I should clarify that I have 1 category group with 3 parent categories, each having a few child categories.
So to rephrase:
1) Is there a way to show only parent categories in the saef?
2) Is there a way to let the user select the caregory they want as a checkbox, instead of within a multiselect box?

<select name="field_id_#">
<!-- you need to look at your mySQL database to see the # of the field -->
{exp:weblog:categories parent_only="yes" show_empty="yes" style="linear" weblog="weblog_name"}
<option value="{category_id}">{category_name}</option>
{/exp:weblog:categories}
</select>
