Is it possible to filter a document library programmatically? I would like to provide a dropdown list (populated from a dataview of a task list) and when a user selects an item from the list, display all documents in a document library with the value selected.

So far, i have tried dataview web parts but they do not work. I would like to build an event handler when the user selects an item from the DDL to filter the document library on the page but don't know how to accomplish this.

I have posted this request on 3 other SharePoint forums and have receive no responses. I would have thought this would be a common request however it appears it cannot be done.

I am using WSS 3.0
