I have this under Support as well: http://drupal.org/node/793190
This is for a page that anonymous users will find extra help with when they have unanswered questions. It's essentially a "funnel" to find out what they need, and then recommend some specific topics that may answer their questions.
I need some ideas about how to build one select list that cascades to a second one upon its selection. Once the final select list is changed (option selected), a resulting list of linked node titles should be revealed beneath this cascading interaction on the same page.
So if the first select list has seven options, each option could have five. There are potentially 35 lists of resulting information, which are "nodereferenced" links to existing nodes/pages. Only one lists shows at a time, of course.
This is the general idea:
1. Using first select list, user chooses a phrase/term...
2. Second select list is populated based on the first selection (page does not refresh).
3. User chooses something from second select list...
4. After the second phrase/term is selected, a list of linked titles appear below the select lists to relevant nodes (page does not refresh).
5. A button to "Contact Us" also appears with this result, just in case questions are not answered.
Example of cascading select lists: http://www.ajaxray.com/blog/2007/11/08/jquery-controlled-dependent-or-ca...
I *think* I would create nodes for the second list of options (35 of them), and the first select list could be based on a vocabulary that each taxonomy term is in. These nodes would include node references to the articles I want to list and have the final display reveal. I'm not sure how I'll display that list if it's not in an array on the same page. It may have to be, unless I have some AJAX/ahah working. Perhaps I'm complicated things too much.
