Sorry guys, but I am a total noob with Joomla.

I need populate 2 drop down boxes with data from my database and when the search button is hit a datagrid is populated and displayed on screen. The drop down boxes are basically filters.

eg.

The 1st drop down box filters the 2nd drop down box.
1st DDL (Car Manufactures), 2nd DDL (Car Models, depending on the manufacture chosen), Honda->CRV.

When the search button is hit, the table displays all CRV models. When any row from the table is chosen, a static details page about the car opens up.

Please guys can you assist.

I've done this also in my component, see http://rd-media.org for the use of my selectors.
