Dropdown Content Filter

[Kage Kazumi]

I am looking for a script or instructions (tutorial) on how to create a page that has content (in my case list of software) and a few dropdown selections that when selected will filter the content below it based on what was selected. So for example one the dropdowns will say OPERATING SYSTEM and if you select WINDOWS it will display all software that can be used on Windows OS.

I do not care if it is a pre-made script or a tutorial on how to create it. It can use PHP, XML, etc. As long as it can do as I need it. Thanks in advanced.

Yes something like that, but:


{Operating System} {Type} {Free/Commercial}

Software 1: Description
Type: 2D Price: Free OS: Mac | Windows

Software 2: Description
Type: 3D Price: $199 OS: Mac

Software 3: Description
Type: 2D & 3D Price: Free & $59.99 OS: Windows

Software 4: Description
Type: 2D Price: $128 OS: Mac | Windows |Linux


So in the above example a list is already displayed (i.e content). A person can make the list smaller by using the filters (dropdowns) above to shorten the list:


{OS: Windows} {Type} {Price: Commercial}

Software 3: Description
Type: 2D & 3D Price: Free & $59.99 OS: Windows

Software 4: Description
Type: 2D Price: $128 OS: Mac | Windows |Linux

Also I have had issues getting jQuery to work from that site you posted.
