Hi all,
I need some help with a website search page I'm building please.
I'm a little confused. The problem is that basically I have a drop down list which is populated from a .xml document. For example, something like this:-
Type of Car :- <Ford, VW, etc etc>
However, say there were the Car Types, but each had a child of differing engine size. What I would want is for someone to select the car type hit "SUBMIT" and a list of the Engine types to be displayed in a Table all relating to that one make selected earlier.
At the moment what happens, is that I have multiple car types listed, i.e.
Type of Car :- <Ford, Ford, Ford, VW, etc etc>
(The multiple entry relating to the various engine sizes).
I can't seem to figure out how to remove the duplicate entries from being listed in the drop down list. I did find this piece of code, but I can't seem to integrate it with the <Form></Form> part.

Apparently, that goes through and removes the entry if it's already listed.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated!!

Code:
<!-- xq495.xsl: converts xq494.xml into xq496.xml -->
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="line">
<xsl:if test="not(. = preceding::line)">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
