X-Cart forums

Hi all,

Using the assistance of kind members of this forum, I have made a simple search dropdown menu for my site which essentially searches for any option selected in that dropdown.

I am looking to further implement a second dropdown running alongside this that will show only categories. So in essence, one has the option to drill down to a specific type of item quickly within a certain category.

What would I need to add to achieve this within xcart (search 1 dropdown + search 2 dropdown = search result) ?

Thank you.

Anyone have any ideas on how to implement this please? I have tried generic forms found using google but can't get them to work in xcart... The code I have up to now inserts a dropdown box and submits a search when a particular option is selected. I would like it that 2 selections are made from seperate dropdown menus and the search is made based on the selections made (selection 1 + selection 2). Thanks.
