Thanks Jim, I was looking for the site with the SharePoint icons (Paul Allen’s) for a few days, but couldn’t find it. Coincidentally, I just read this post here and rediscovered it.

Now that your series is completed I’ll go through it again, it’s been a long time since I saw the beginnings of it…

[...] Finally, to make it look even nicer, we’ll massage the way total and subtotal rows look and replace some of our form action links with icons. [...]

Jim,

This is an amazing effort you are now completing. The quality of your documentation is what will make it a true reference for all DVWP builders. I am sure an e-Book would sell like crazy (I would keep the readers comments in it thought).
This was a long serie to follow but the quality and reusability factors are offsetting this by a landslide.

Kudos to you.
Greg

Dear Kurup,

Good question. (And I did get your email, too.) ;)

It’ll take some strong tweaking in the XSL to make it work the way you’re asking, because the DVWP defaults to one filter field rather than ANDing filters to each other.

You’d probably want to rewrite the Filter toolbar to not do an immediate postback on click, so that you can choose more than one. And then you’d probably also need to include an option to let the user choose “OR” or “AND” so you’d know if the filters were supposed to include all entries with either filter selection, or only include entries that contained both.

If you want to bring this over Stump the Panel (http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP), we can get several good minds working on it.

Blessings,
Jim Bob

That DVWP looks seriously professional. Great job and thanks for writing this series, there’s some great content throughout – looking forward to the final part.
