[xsl] Re: Getting output from a dropdown (Spry) menu?

Hi again,
Just to update this, I could use a standard dropdown menu rather than
a Spry, as such:

- <body>
- <select name="list">
<option value="1">Programmer</option>
<option value="2">Not Programmer</option>
- </select>

- <table border="1">
- <tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Job</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
- <xsl:for-each select="company/department/employee">
- <xsl:if test="job = 'Programmer'">
- <tr>
- <td>
<xsl:value-of select="name" />
</td>
- <td>
<xsl:value-of select="job" />
</td>
- <td>
<xsl:value-of select="salary" />
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

In this case I'd want the filtering code to read something along the lines of:
- <xsl:if test="job = 'list'">

Can I use xsl:variable?

Thanks for any help on this....
