Probably better off putting something like this into a usercontrol.

Hi Amanda,

Sure it can be done in xslt. That's how all (most) Umbraco navigation is done. Could you give us an example of what you're trying to do?

i am thinking you would have to use a combination of xslt and jquery to change the source of the second <select></select> are you talking about dropdown menus or a navigation that has flyouts?

you can check out http://packages.maliciousthinktank.com and take a look at the mtt_ultimate nav, Dirk helped me out with it big-time, but he lets me distribute it as a jquery based horizontal navBar package.

let us know if we can help.

I THINK I could be onto something.  Must have coffee!!  So I'm going to post this up while I walk down to the shop in case anyone wants to comment on the direction I'm going. 

Something similar to script I found on the old forum in my header for catching the value of the 1st drop link to old post - problem being the original poster said it didnt work...and its for dealing with usercontrols not xslt/html items

<script runat="server">
        public string setSource;

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Page.IsPostBack)
            {
                setSource = this.StateDropDownList.SelectedValue;
            }
            else
            {
                if (setSource != null)
                    this.StateDropDownList.SelectedValue = "1115";
            }

        }
        public object value
        {
            get
            {
                return setSource;
            }
            set
            {
                setSource = value.ToString();
            }
        }

</script>

This is the main part of my xslt file---

<xsl:variable name="dropOneSource" select="/macro/source1"/>
<xsl:variable name="dropTwoSource" select="/macro/source2"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<!-- The fun starts here -->
<div class="relatedParts">
<select>
<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($dropOneSource)/node [@nodeTypeAlias = 'Container']">
    <option value="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">

            <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
    </option>    
</xsl:for-each>
</select>


<!-- Drop 2 These items are a list of items that are filtered determined on selection from Drop1 -->
<select>
<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($dropTwoSource)/node [@nodeTypeAlias = 'Container']">
    <option value="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">

            <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
    </option>    
</xsl:for-each>
</select>
</div>
</xsl:template>

i think you can go the jquery route and xslt... but maybe that is overkill...
