Dear Stefan

i studied xsl and at last did the listbox thing in the search form but the problem now

1) i want to put the values of them in consideration with the search engine im so confused in the code.

2)i want to connect the xsl file with a xml file which has the countries names but it gives this error

here is my code:

 <xsl:template match="/Portals/0/XslStyleSheets/" name="Searchform">
    Country:
    <select name="Country"><option> Choose </option>

<xsl:for-each select="EnglishCountries/Country">
      <option> <xsl:value-of select="Name" /> </option>
      </xsl:for-each></select><br />
        Search by:
    <select name="SearchBy"><option>Company Name </option>

<option> Category  </option></select><br />
Search:
<input type="text" name="{$prefix_param}_searchPostback" value="{$search}" />
<input type="submit" name="go" value="{//udt:Context/udt:LocalizedString_Search}" />
<input type="hidden" name="{$prefix_param}_ispostback" value="true" /></xsl:template>

hope to hear from u soon
 

Thanks for your reply ,the biggest problem for me is the search

• I have a column called Country in which i enter my data & it is searchable.
• I choose from the DropDownList the name of the country.

Now how i can use the value chosen from the user in my search.

Thanks for your patience
