SID-01777: Retrieve the value of the selected list value

Any expert know if there a way to create a dropdown menu with values to select without using edittable plugin? When one of the value is selected by the user, is there a way to capture that value and subsequently use it in a %search%?

Discussion and Answer

Yes, use an HTML form and a SEARCH on the same page. Tie both together with a URLPARAM.

Look at the raw text to learn how this works.

Details at VarSEARCH, VarURLPARAM, TWikiTemplates.
