Hi Phil,

It all depends a bit on how you've setup the dropdowns on the frontend? Do you get the values from the datatype? And how did you select the values in the admin backend? Is it a text string or a new dropdown datatype (for colour and size)?

If using dropdown datatypes in backend, be aware that the value of the property on the document will be an integer rather than the text (as shown in the dropdown)

If you're using xslt, you could do a for-each and check the value of the document properties against the value of the dropdowns

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [@nodeTypeAlias = 'alias' and string(./data [@alias = 'colour']) = x and string(./data [@alias = size] = y)]">
...
</xsl:for-each>

(code needs to be verified, writing this on top of my head)

Let us know if that helps and if not, tell us a bit more on your setup

Cheers,

/Dirk

The dropdown on the front end is just using standard ListItems I didnt realised i could get the values from the datatypes. That might be better. I had pretty much the same loop already setup but how do I link this to the value of the asp.net dropdownlist?

I think my response might have been a little confusing.

If i have a drop down field on a page like this: 

<asp:DropDownList ID="color" runat="server" >
<asp:ListItem Text="brown" />
<asp:ListItem Text="yellow" />
<asp:ListItem Text="red" />
</asp:DropDownList>

how can i make the xslt recognise what has been selected

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [@nodeTypeAlias = 'alias' and string(./data [@alias = 'colour']) = SELECTED COLOR DROP DOWN MENU?????  ]">
...
</xsl:for-each>

is working on a reply...
