If the data is presented as table, datatables is a really nice jquery plugin for such stuff:

Thanks for the additional thought on this.  It is a much appreciated
confirmation to me.  Last night I was torturing my brain over the
logistics of what I had conceived, and by this morning I had pretty
much concluded that I would have to go the route you are suggesting.
Now I just have to find an existing solution ... or learn Javascript.

         Just an aside: seems like a convoluted plan to keep round-tripping
to the server/database each time you refine the filter.

         I'm presuming the initial data set being sent is the "full" list. If
so, might it not be useful to somehow (Caveat: I'm /not/ skilled at
this, only toyed with Javascript too many years ago) embed a Javascript
action to count the categories, render the filter selections and, when
one is picked, have the Javascript modify the page in-place to display
only the filtered data?

         Granted, adding another language on top of Python, Django, and the
template language, may be more than desirable.
