Well, actually the above post solves a different problem.
Putting text in the first option drop-down such as “all available” -and- having the drill-down *ignore* that text is something else. Any ideas?

It does ignore that text: you are sent to an url with a blank selection, which is ignored, meaning you see all posts.

Thanks for your response. It looks like the code has changed since the aforementioned post.
What I tried to do was take
html( ‘select’, array( ‘name’ => $name ),
‘<option></option>’,
I changed it to
html( ‘select’, array( ‘name’ => $name ),
‘<option>-select all-</option>’,
It’s trying to find something called “-select all-” rather than ignoring it, /?glass=-select+all-&hardware=brushed-nickel&testh=-select+all-
So it goes to the 404 page.
If the first drop down is simply blank, it does ignore the first field but I think it’s confusing for the user because they don’t know what a blank field means, so I was trying to put text in there to indicate what it means.
…/hardware/brushed-nickel/?glass&testh
“Glass” is blank, “Brushed Nickel” is selected, “Testh” is blank. It picks everything with Brushed Nickel regardless of the other criteria.
Thanks again for your help.
Try <option value=””>-select all-</option> instead.
Worked in my case, but could be browser dependant (only tested in Chrome).
This works, except if the user for some reason leaves all of the options on -select all- and hits submit it redirects to your front page…
