Under these dropdown boxes I had put the button called "OK" is not working after selecting the items.

<form name="fullview" method="post" action="/content/action">

<div class="block">

<select name="ContentObjectAttribute_data_option_value">
<option value="0">Thémes</option>
<option value="1">Sortir</option>
<option value="2">Se looker</option>
<option value="3">Etre bien</option>
<option value="4">Chez soi</option>
</select>
</div>
</form>

<form name="fullview" method="post" action="/content/action">

<div class="block">

<select name="ContentObjectAttribute_data_option_value">
<option value="0">Rubriques</option>

</select>
</div>
</form>

In the second part of "Rubriques" is in fact the first submenu under Themes, Selooker,.. and so on. And then same way I had set, for the third and forth level of Sub menu and then "OK" button, but I don't know how to set them to work.

nga,

While I can easily understand and relate to your frustration it strikes me as counter productive ask about a fairly detailed solution, yet say so little.

I can write books about just about any topic, especially the onces I'm working on, try to flush out the thought process through your posts, talking your way through the problem, not waiting solely for a reply before sharing the required details, thoughts, end solutions used ... <i>I suggest writing ... more</i>, writing more can have the effect of painting a canvas vs spitting on it.

It just comes off as a bit demanding, especially considering the solution lies a chunk of custom development or re evaluating just how much of a requirement this features is to the user experience ...

From what I've read of what you describe is a mix of client side and server side custom forms / select menus / and client side scripting to alter the 2nd select menu's contents (items) when a user selects an item from the 1st select menu.

It's not impossible but you have to work the process through to it's completion. Like looking up a word you are not familiar with up in the dictionary.

I don't believe eZ publish offers an abstracted solution to this "generation" level of interactive web applications, or web app linked option lists ... by default.

I am fairly sure I see where your going here, but the solution lies in adding the dependant client side script (javascript) into your advanced search template override than finding an elusive eZ publish secret.

anything is possible,
