Hi there,

I am building a website in which I intend for my users to be able to make pre-defined selections from a series of checkboxes, then - upon clicking a button - have a filtered search performed on those selections.

For example, let's say my website contains hundreds of different recipies. Each recipie has a template listing, which includes a name, a type of dish, the principle ingredients, and the time to make it.

Now what I am looking for is to build a series of three combo boxes, which contain lists of every dish type, each ingredient, and each timescale. Users can use these to filter the search, which would then return any template which matches the selection. The null value for each of these combo-lists would of course be ANY.

I can easily build the website, I can write all the templates and I can build a conventional (i.e. keyword) search engine, but does anyone know of a pre-made script that would perform the task I need, and able to give any links to it?

Thanks in advance!

It would help to answer your request if you include a more detailed description of what you want such as PHP or Perl. MYSQL or flat file. Hope the best.

Sorry for the delay in replying; been ill. In answer, either bog standard HTML or PHP would probably suit me best.

To recap, I'm looking for any script whereby I can have a series of combo-boxes that - by their selection - will filter a search based eiether of keywords or on areas of a form.
