Any suggestions on how to create a drill-down function so a visitor can make a few selections and get a data-set returned based on a table in the database.

I see some JQuery datatable examples, and we use the DNN Reports module a lot. I have the table with the data (State, City, Keywords) and want to show a list of html links on the same page from the visitors selections (drop-down, checkbox, treeview, etc)

Any ideas?
