Hi again,
Sorry for not posting enough info. I'm new to both XSLT and this message board.
Here's the XML that I'm currently using (it's a sample XML from a
website tutorial):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<company>
<department name="Research & Development">
<employee>
<name>John Doe</name>
<job>Software Analyst</job>
<salary>2000</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Jane Fletcher</name>
<job>Designer</job>
<salary>2500</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Chris Benton</name>
<job>Programmer</job>
<salary>3100</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Ben Walker</name>
<job>Programmer</job>
<salary>2800</salary>
</employee>
</department>
<department name="Marketing">
<employee>
<name>George Palmer</name>
<job>Copywriter</job>
<salary>2530</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Tony Norberto</name>
<job>Content Editor</job>
<salary>1900</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Adrian Segata</name>
<job>Marketing Manager</job>
<salary>5000</salary>
</employee>
</department>
</company>
I want to have a drop down menu for <job> and a drop down menu for
<salary>. By selecting the menus, it should show me the relevant
<name> (in a list).
We've got a copy of Dreamweaver CS3 and it looked like XSLT would be
the easiest way to go about this.
Also, this will all eventually be contained on a hard drive. I just
wanted a front end that would allow users to search through the XML.
I hope that's enough info, and if there is an XSLT solution that would
be great, however, it looks like I may have to use something else.
Pointers in the right direction would be really good.
Thanks again,
Keith

Thanks for any help on this....
You appear to be expecting that XSLT can act on the current state of a
drop down list in a web page. It can not. The XSLT process has finished
(conceptually at least) before the browser renders the page.
The model is
You have some XML input (in a form that you have not yet shown us).
XSLT converts that input to HTML.
The browser renders the HTML.
So, any questions about how to get the browser to display or act on
mouse interaction, are purely a matter of html/javascript. If you said
what HTML/javascript you needed in the output file, and what your input
looked like, then someone mightbe able to suggest some XSLT.
When you do post XML please try to post the actual (but small) XML not
the view of XML as shown by your browser, which can't be used for
testing any possible solutions due to the fact that it's not valid XSLT
(or even well formed XML)
" <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet (View Source for full doctype...)>"
would not get past an XMl parser and all the + and -
- <xsl:template match="/">
- <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
