I want to create droprowns, place on the default page, to list the nodes under Category and use that in a search which would have another drop down based on the list of Brands Sub node.
What I have so far is this XSLT which is suppose to create the 2 dropdowns...but they remain blank.any help with this please?
Need some help with drop down search
Hi all,
I have a website structure like this
Content
default
Company Profile
Products
Product Item 1
Product Item 2 etc...
Brands (hide from navigation) - node ID=1101
Brand 1
Brand 2
Category (hide from navigation) - node ID=1163
Cat 1
Cat 2
I want to create droprowns, place on the default page, to list the nodes under Category and use that in a search which would have another drop down based on the list of Brands Sub node.
What I have so far is this XSLT which is suppose to create the 2 dropdowns...but they remain blank.any help with this please?
<xsl:template match="/">
<form action="../search-results.aspx" method="get">
<div class="prodDropCn">
<select class="dropDown" name="category">
<option value="any">Select Category</option>
<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1163)//node">
<xsl:sort select="@nodeName" order="ascending" />
<option>
<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="./@id"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="chooseCategory"/>
<xsl:value-of select="./@nodeName"/>
</option>
</xsl:for-each>
</select>
</div>
<div class="prodDropCn">
<select class="dropDown" name="brandname">
<option value="any">Select Brand Name</option>
<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1101)/node">
<xsl:sort select="@nodeName" order="ascending" />
<option>
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="./@id"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="./@nodeName"/>
</option>
</xsl:for-each>
</select>
</div>
<div class="buttFind">
<input type="image" src="images/butt_find.png" alt="Submit button" />
</div>
</form>
</xsl:template>
