Re: Recursively generated menus in XSL and Cocoon

Hi,
This is not an XSLT question. Check the Cocoon archive
http://cocoon.apache.org/community/mail-archives.html or the cocoon mailing

Groet,

Subject:  Recursively generated menus in XSL and Cocoon


>
> Hello !
>
> I'm developing a database interrogation user interface in XML/XSL with
> Cocoon.
>
> The user having selected a request , the system generates a page on
> which he has to select
>   values  for the requests' parameters .
>
> For each single parameter, there is a number of values I select from
> the database through subrequests,
> in order  to generate a dropdown menu,  for the user to choose between
> them.
> All data for the subrequests' generation come from a XML file
>
> There is never the same number of parameters , so I use a recursive
> template
> to generate each  subrequest
>
> Is it possible to use the values selected from a thus generated menu ,
> to modify the values proposed by another such menu, through a
> javascript function like 'Onchange'?
>
> For example,
> with two menus , 'Collection' and 'Types':
>
>   if I select collection number '1',
> could it be possible to re-generate the following menu, so as to
> display only the types that are represented in the collection number
> '1'?
>
> (I personally doubt this is possible, based on past experience)
