    Hi,
    How can I create a select box which loads data from some table instead of direct hardcoded data or from taxanomies or from post types. I want to load options from some other table or from some external web service.

    Thanks,
    Poovarasan

    If you want to use custom post types or custom taxonomies you should check out the 3rd party add-on Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types which can be found here:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/

    To dynamically populate dropdowns you have to write custom PHP code and use available hooks to dynamically populate the field. Hereis a forum thread that discusses this:

    You can find documentation for all the available hooks and filters in the Developer Docs area of the Documentation.
