When loaded my events page presents a rolling list of events, there are many events and so I have included pagination. These events take place in different cities and city is one of the fields that I have defined within my event channel. At the top of my template I have included a dropdown of cities. The idea being that the viewer can restrict the list of enteries by selecting a particular city. My question is how do I filter the view to the city choice of the user?

Having tried this it certaily seems to be the direction I want to go. The problem I have is that the list of enteries is goverened by defined parameters such as sort. I need to limit the view according to a field value called place which is a field I have defined within event. I have tried the code below but without luck
<form method="post" action="{path='event/events'}">
<select name="place">
<option value="x">Sort By:</option>
<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
<option value="c">c</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go!" />
</form>
{exp:channel:entries channel="events" dynamic_parameters="place"}
{title}<br>
{/exp:channel:entries}#5 / Apr 15, 2011 10:59am

Try this for a dynamic field
{exp:channel:entries channel="events" dynamic_parameters="search:place"}#6 / Apr 15, 2011 4:34pm
