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

Hi again,
Sorry for not posting enough info. I'm new to both XSLT and this message board.
Here's the XML that I'm currently using (it's a sample XML from a
website tutorial):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<company>
<department name="Research &amp; Development">
  <employee>
    	<name>John Doe</name>
		<job>Software Analyst</job>
    	<salary>2000</salary>
  </employee>
  <employee>
    	<name>Jane Fletcher</name>
    	<job>Designer</job>
		<salary>2500</salary>
  </employee>
  <employee>
    	<name>Chris Benton</name>
    	<job>Programmer</job>
		<salary>3100</salary>
  </employee>
    <employee>
    	<name>Ben Walker</name>
    	<job>Programmer</job>
		<salary>2800</salary>
  </employee>
</department>
<department name="Marketing">
  <employee>
    	<name>George Palmer</name>
    	<job>Copywriter</job>
		<salary>2530</salary>
  </employee>
  <employee>
    	<name>Tony Norberto</name>
		<job>Content Editor</job>
    	<salary>1900</salary>
  </employee>
  <employee>
    	<name>Adrian Segata</name>
    	<job>Marketing Manager</job>
		<salary>5000</salary>
  </employee>
</department>
</company>

I want to have a drop down menu for <job> and a drop down menu for
<salary>. By selecting the menus, it should show me the relevant
<name> (in a list).

We've got a copy of Dreamweaver CS3 and it looked like XSLT would be
the easiest way to go about this.

Also, this will all eventually be contained on a hard drive. I just
wanted a front end that would allow users to search through the XML.

I hope that's enough info, and if there is an XSLT solution that would
be great, however, it looks like I may have to use something else.
Pointers in the right direction would be really good.

Thanks again,

Keith
