Many sites have what they call Parallel Filtering. The best examples I can think of are e-commerce sites. Pricegrabber.com has it as does Kayak.com just to name two of many. Basically, you do a search and wind up with a data set. Them you put together search criteria that you list on the left (e.g., Price and then you have checkboxes for <100, 100-200, 200-300, then perhaps vendor, age, whatever) that you use to select filter criteria. When you click on a filter criteria, it filters the data automatically. You sort the results with a drop down of sort options.
Like I said, this is implemented on many sites.
I have a codeigniter site that needs this type of functionality. I am hoping there is something out there that I can use to give me a leg up on this.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
