only reveal useful dropdowns

[mattc]

On StinkyInkShop, when you choose a dropdown, the following dropdown only reveals relative dropdowns, e.g. I choose Canon first, the second only shows canon printer makes...

I have two search variables, Brand and Garment Type.

I would like to make it so that when searching for a product garment type e.g. suit, when you select suit, it only shows brands that make suits in the brand dropdown. Ideally this would work both ways.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

just to save people from needless work...

I've found the javascript array in the AUG, so ill have a go with that myself.

If i'm barking up the wrong tree, then could someone kindly let me know...

otherwise, ill just post back any findings/results when/if i complete it.

thanks!

Matt - did you get anywhere with this? I'm looking to implement as well and what StinkyInk have got is exactly what I'm after.

Andrew - you can add some javascript into the drop down which detects the change of state ... from this you can output code back to the page eg .innerHTML .... an option would be to put all the manufacturers options on screen (Canon, HP, Lexmark) and initially hide them all with CSS .... you can append the inline styling to these drop downs via the .innerHTML with a new class to show the desired drop down.

Thanks Jont.

You make it sound so simple

I may be gone some time....
