ASP Populated Drop Down List With 'selected'
I have a simple form on my site with a drop down list for users to search for a specific category. The search works fine and populates my results page with the correct responses.
Alongside the results I have included the search form again so that users can modify their search, however I am unable to pre-populate the drop down menu with the previously selected category.
I have tried an IF statement but this only works when I hard code the variables in. Please can you cast your expert eyes over my code, I have a feeling I am suffering from fatigue as I have been trying to solve this for some time now. Code:

I have a drop down list that is populated by a database, all the items are pure text.
I am using this line of code:
msgbox(listAccom.Items(listAccom.SelectedIndex).text)
but no matter what item is selected it always returns the very first value. However Identical code works on a different page I have created. Can anyone offer suggestions as to why this might be.

I cannot get the selected option to be POSTed (it does not appear in the
QueryString when using GET neither)
I construct the drop down list from an array, I select an element in the
list, I POST using a submit button. When I use Request.Form("NAME") it's
always empty. Is the selected item is Posted? How to retreive it?
Response.Write "<SELECT NAME>"
for i = LBound(aRessource, 1) to UBound(aRessource, 1)
Response.Write "<OPTION VALUE=" & i & ">"
Response.Write aRessource(i, 0)
next
Response.Write "<OPTION SELECTED>"
Response.Write "</SELECT>"

I am hoping a mixed ASP- Javascript programmer could help me with this scenario:
I have a list box populated with randomized records (NewID()) from a Broker (Salesperson) sql server table.
Each time the user selects one of the broker items I need to display a Image of the broker in the table cell next to it.
I have found a number of online js scripts that use the image selector route but I am unable to work out to populate the list item from the database AND at the same time utilize the JS...
Are there any coders who come across a solution like this. Here is an example of my ASP code populating the List box: .....

I have a dropdown menu with parents' names, and on the same page when a name is selected (through an onChange event), another drop dpwn boix containing student names change according to the parent selected.
But I want the Parent drop down box to contain the parent's name who was selected, and although the event works, it just keeps displaying the first name of the list of parents even after a different parent is selected.

When a form to amend the record is loaded, I would like to display the list box with the currently held value as the seleceted item in the list box. e.g.
4 items in listbox A B C D
B selected and saved.
Amendment form displayed, List box contains A B C D, with B highlighted.
Is this possible with ASP?

I am doing server side asp form validation, the form posts to itself and if all the values are accepted the values are inserted into an access db...
I have several list/menu with static value options.
The problem is when I submit the form and another value is incorrect, each list/menu is reset to the initially selected value as defined in dreamweaver (in my case 'Please Select').
With text inputs I can easily set the value to the value passed through the form, however it's not as simple for a list/menu.
Is it possible to change the 'selected' option based on the variable passed?
It's annoying in the sense that even though the user has selected an option, if they make a mistake elsewhere they always have to reselect their list/menu choice...

I'm sure an ASP programmer would be able to create this function within 5 minutes, but I'm just learning and I've fumbled my way through creating a little site content management system for a local community group. I'm a designer and the site looks great (so I'm told) but I just can't get this last page to work. I'm desperate for help!!!
I'm trying to call the values for a drop-down list from a seperate categories table in Access, to add/update records in a main Access table/query. The page/form is used to:
a) diplay/edit existing records; or
b) add new (if cstr = "").
I have finally managed to display the correct selection in the drop-down list for existing records (not sure if code is correct?) but I can't work out how to write changes (edit record) back to the database; or 'save' a new record? I'm also not sure if I should be trying to write data to the table or query? Code:

Does anyone has some sample code or know any resources for using ASP and Javascript to dynamiclly create a drop down list?
(ie. Once the user selects a drop down list, ASP gets the selected value and go to database to get another set of new values. then creates a drop down list of all the new values)

i want to create one asp file using vbscript which will contain a form which gets informations like name, company and contact details(address, phone, email) of the user.
i want to use one dynamic drop down list box of which that drop down box will contain all the previous names entered in the past along with the option "add new name" at the beginning of all the names so that if anyone wants to add new name to the database they can click it and if already entered member browses that page he can select his/her name which will populate all the details down below like his company and contact details and if he wants he can make some changes in it and update in the database.
i tried searching tutorials for this but what i found was only for client-side javascript.

I have the following piece of code:
<SELECT Name = BB>
<option value="100">English</option>
<option value="103">Italian</option>
</Select>
Once submitted, is there a way for me to get the content of the selected drop down as well as the value? Or can I only get the value using Request.Form("BB") ?
What I'm trying to do is to store multiple values in the drop down. (i.e. price and product name)

I have an asp page that creates a table from a Ingres II database. The headers at the top of the columns are hyperlinks that ad a order by to my list. This was all working fine until I added more choices with a drop down list view_type .
Now I am getting this error:
ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bb9'
Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another. I am thinking it has to do with when my list is reordered it does not know which view type and is not going through the count. Code:

I hope this is the right group. I am very new to ASP so this is
probably a stupid question. I have some vbscript that query's AD and
populates a recordset. I know the recorset contains the information I
want by doing a Response.write. I am having problems dynamically
creating a drop down list from the data in the recordset. The drop down
is created but it is empty. Code:
