Now I have another question. Is it possible to have the DVWP not filter by default when query string filter is created? If I create a parameter for use with the query string and I impose no value by default the DVWP doesn't show me any value. When I pass the query string the DVWP shows me only the value that I passed. Thanks Lorenzo Thanks for the query string tip.

The DVWPs are on the same page. I want when I click on the highlight fields on the first DVWP (and the first DVWP send a row to the second DVWP by calling the "GenFireConnection" function) the "GenFireServerEvent" function is called to filter the DVWP. In this way the first DVWP will show me only the row on which I clicked and the second DVWP show me only the rows that have a connection with the first DVWP. I hope you understand me. Thanks Lorenzo.

I basically want group by the values in my mutlivalue lookup and then provide a count i.e. item 1 has a,b,c item 2, ab i would then have the following grouping structure output Group a ->item1 ->item2 Group b ->item1 -> item2 Groub c ->item1 thank You :-) How would you change the XSL so it will support multivalue lookup fields…?

I basically want group by the values in my mutlivalue lookup and then provide a count i.e.

item 1 has a,b,c
item 2, ab

i would then have the following grouping structure output

Group a
->item1
->item2

Group b
->item1
-> item2

Groub c
->item1

thank You :-)

Thank you very much for this articles. Do you know if is possible to combine two ddwrt function? I wish i could combine the "GenFireConnection" function whit the "GenFireServerEvent" function to connect and filter together a datawebpart to another datawebpart. Can you help me ?? Thanks Lorenzo.

I wasn't familiar with eXSLT. I just looked at the date/time functions, and they sure woulds be useful. I have to believe that the answer is "yes". Since the functions look to be implemented in some mixture of JavaScript and XSL, I'm guessing that there might be some installation on the server required. However, it also looks like many of the functions have a pure XSL template implementation. This is the sort of stuff that I usually build and put into my utilities.xsl file and then import into DVWPs where needed. So you could do the same thing with the eXSLT function templates.
