ASP/JavaScript Dependent Dropdown Menus??
i'm trying to create a dependent dropdown menu based on two objects, packages and steps (the steps dropdown will be dynamically updated/populated when a package is selected). the site uses ASP and since ASP is server-side, i am using JavaScript to handle the client-side "dynamic" change.
i've found several snippets of code that create the dependent dropdown; however, the two examples i have use arrays which are statically defined. the data that will populate the dropdowns is coming from a SQL database, and that data will be updated/changed fairly often. my question is this: is there any way to generate the arrays using ASP (outside javascript tags) and use them in the javascript?
or is there a way to use javascript to generate the correct arrays and fill them with data from my SQL tables? can i use a recordset ojbect in javascript? i have heard that you may use PHP inside javascript tags, but i'm unsure if that is what i want to do.. especially since i am using ASP as the main language for this site. Code:

I have a category that I will call "company". in my access DB, there are about 6 or so companies. On another table, I have a list of locations that are related to these companies.
What I want to do, is have a drop down menu that lists all the companies. When you select the company, the second drop down menu will automatically populate with the locations of the company you selected in the first dropdown.
Anyone know any links to some examples of this? My google searches have been pretty fruitless since Im having a bit of a problem trying to explain it concisely (as you probably noticed).

I have a dropdown box getting data from a database, and I send the data to the database on form submition, But, I need to send another data to another column to the database according with the user dropdown box selecion. Example.
Dropdown option 1: DELL Corp.
Dropdown option 2: IBM Corp.
Dropdown option 3: Avante Systems
If the user select DELL Corp., it will send 'DELL Corp.' to the database but I need it to send dell.jpg to another column too. I have the code to send the data, but the relationship of the boxes is 'the thing'.
A solution almost like bellow is what I am looking for, but instead of, the selection in the first combo should point to another selecion in the second combo (so the second combo will have the dell.jpg value): http://forums.aspfree.com/code-bank...own-137839.html

I want to have dependent dynamic dropdown lists where the person can select the state, then county, then zip code, and all 3 of these menus will be populated by a database. I have a page that Ive been working on but I just cant get it. The page I am working on also refreshes when you select the state, then when you select the county it refreshes again but instead of populating the zipcode list it just takes the state name and inserts it into the city menu. Code:

Im putting my website together, and I have made some simple text buttons that are aligned across the top of my page from left to right.Anyway, I have with this navigation a need to have more navigation options, which I hope to gain by having sub-menus appear when you roll over the button.
What I mean is how do I or can someone point me to a tutorial that will allow me to have a dynamic drop down menu generated via asp with data from a access databse that will allow the user to navigate to that sub menu content.

Hope you can help with a small problem I am having. I have a very simple table displayed on a page -
ID Name
1 x
2 y
3 z
and what I am trying to do is this - Roll over the ID number and display a pop up menu (which has more links to run other ASP scripts) and pass the ID number from the original page, though the pop-up menu and into the final ASP script (as selected on the popup menu) as a parameter for an SQL query.

I want to have a drop down menu, that when you select an option, loads data from the database into another drop down menu. So that's one part I don't know how to do. There will be a total of three options from the first dropdown, which represent different tables in the same database. So that's the other problem, how to load, depending on the table selected, into the drop down menu.

I am trying to figure out how to pass one selectedIndex value to another select menu on a subsequent page without opening the page in a new window. I know how to pass information from one text field to another using Request.form or a Session, but I am not certain how this works with select menus. I have seen other examples that require you to open a new window, but again I would prefer not to do this.
I have two different select menus. This appears on the first asp page.
<form class="fbox-form" name="form" action="" method="post"
<select name="movietype" onchange="this.form.action=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
<option value='' "> </option>
<option value="dvd.asp">DVD</option>
<option value="tape.asp">Tape</option>
<option value="reviews">Revews</option>
</select>
<select name="area">
<option value=" ''> </option>
<option value="North">North</option>
<option value="Southwest">Southwest</option>
<option value="East">East</option>
</select>
<input name="continue" type="button">
</form>
The next page has the exact same select menus as above and I would like it to populate the same value the user chooses from the first form page. I should state that the first select menu does redirect the user to different pages, however it should not matter because the above options for the select menus are consistent on all the pages the user is redirected to. I'm assuming the answer to my query will consist of utilizing ASP and JavaScript, however if not, I'm still game.

I am trying to write a function on a navigation page so I can just include the nav page on my other asp pages this way I only need to edit one file when I need to update the navigation system.
The problem I have is that if I try and do this with the response write statement how I can't use " inside the strings i.e
sub dropnav()
Response Write "<form name="form1">"
Response Write "<div align="right">"
Response Write "<select name="menu1"
etc etc
end sub
How do I store " inside a variable called say SP so I can do this?
Response Write "<form name="&SP&"form1"&SP>"
I am am guessing there must be a way you can store an asci value into a variable. But what is the command for this and what is the ascii code for "?
Finally is there I way I can write a drop down menu purely in ASP so I can avoid putting the HTML code inside strings?
The reason I have to have it the ASP code is simply I want to call the function that outputs the drop down menu in other pages, if I did not do a function it would not work as it would output the drop down menu at the top of the or whereever the include statement is.

I have a simple data entry form that has text boxes and some drop-down menus per row. My problem is the performance of the page.
I give the user the option of displaying 25, 50 or 100 rows at a time. Each row has 12 text boxes and 4 drop-down menus. The OPTIONS for the drop-down menus are being populated with data from our MS SQL database.
I'm using VIEWS to get the data and place them in recordsets, but how can I increase performance. It's taking way too long for the page to load and if the user clicks submits.. that takes a long time too.

I have an asp form that submits information to a database. On this form, I have a drop down box with about 15 options, each with thier own value. The selection is down a bit in the form, after user fills out certain information.
On the same form, I have a hidden value stated for "assigned_to" field. Most of the options in my drop down menu need an "assigned_to" value=35 and one option needs an "assigned_to" value=40 . How can I do this?

I currently have a page with car manufacturers in a dynamic form menu. Users can select one and click submit to find available cars by that manufacturer. What i now need is a second menu on the page where when a manufacturer is selected, the models associated with that manufacturer display for a user to choose. For example if Ford is selected:
Menu One Menu Two
------------------ -----------------
Ford Focus
Fiesta
Ka....
Can i do this with ASP to say "if menu one is ford, menu two contains...."? Or is there a much easier way which i am somehow missing?

I created the four menus using Dreamweaver's INSERT JUMP MENU function and I find it difficult to modify its auto-generated javascript code to suit my needs. Does anyone has the complete code to accomplish this?

I have a database table called Pumpdata. This table contains all the different pumps available. I had to make 2 other related tables one called pumpType which is just a description of Pump Types. ie.. (single, double, mixer etc..) and the other table is PumpManufacturer which contains a list of Pump Manufacturers.. the 2 tables are related to the pumpdatatable based on the TypeID (in PumpType) and MfgID(in PumpManufacturer)..
Ok the problem I'm faced with Is I need to create a form to get a particular pump based on the Pump Type, The manufacturer, and then the specific Model Number..
The First list box alllows the user to select the Pump Type, The second ListBox allows the user to select the manufacturers based on the pump selection. (Note in the pumpdata table there could be an occurance where a particulatar PumpManufacturer could have several Pumps of the same type (I just need to show one occurance of the PumpManufacturer here).

I have an application in asp; in my form I have a combo and a textbox, the combo is fill in from a database query. I cannot do the following: when selecting an item from the combo, it should send the ID of the combo to a textbox. In other words, when selecting an item, it must send the ID to a query and the result of this query send it to the textbox. I need to do this using vbscript and the onchange method.

I have a set of dynamic dependent list boxes that are populted from a database. When I select the first box the second box is populetd with the correct items. If the first item is the desired selection another option has to be selected and then the first item has to be reselected for the list to work properly to update the next dynamic list box. To include the --Select-- in the second and third list box table would add several thousand rows to the table. If I added the --Select-- in the table it would add several thousand rows to the database.

I've gotten the dependent drop down boxes to work except, when I fill out the form, and get to where I click the first drop down box and make a selection, the page refreshes and all of the fields turn blank, except for the second drop down box, which displays the correct records based on what was chosen in the first box in the entire form. Also the first drop down box returns to the first record in the list.

I'm working on a form where if a client makes an entry in one field, it causes another field to become unusable. The fields most likely will be drop-down lists. The form will be filled out online then mailed to me using the post method.
