Start by dividing the problem into two:
(a) decide what the HTML page should be like
(b) decide what XSLT you need to write in order to generate this HTML
There are basically two design approaches: when the user selects something
from the dropdown, you can invoke Javascript that populates the textarea
directly; or you can invoke JavaScript that invokes a second XSLT
transformation that populates the textarea.
