Adding A New Entry To A List Menu Based On A Database
Let's say I have a dynamic list/menu, which gets its values from a
database table, for example a list of contact people where the value is
an ID number and the label is the name. However, if the value the user
wants is not in the list I would like to place a hyperlink which
will...
(1) open a small window, with an ASP form to allow the user to add a
new entry
(2) save the entry to the database
(3) add that value to the list/menu in the parent window and make it
the selected option
(4) close the small window and return to the original window.
I can handle the code for 1,2 and 4, but 3 is what I'm not sure about.
I don't like the idea of forcing the user to leave the current screen,
go to some other form, add the entry they need to the lookup table,
then come back; this seems like a logical approach, but just wondering
how to make it work.
This seems like a common enough situation; anyone have any code samples
or suggestions about how to do this?

I have a large classic ASP web application which needs to now support chinese
character entry (I don't have to worry about the UI yet - the data entry
people can read english). Other than changing the database fields over to
"N" data types, do I need to do anything to the actual entry fields (input,
textbox) on the various forms to be able to capture the information. Some
users will be entering the information in english, while others will be
translating the same info into chinese as they enter it.
I know this is probably much easier in .net, but we have yet made that
transition. Now that 2.0 is available, it should be much more viable.

ASP/javascript with a drop down populated by an access database. The drop down works fine but I cant figure out how to get it to change a value of a text field.
I want the value in the text field to change to reflect the data in another column in the table, same row. Code:

I have a series of tables, within one database, which each hold unique information, all of which relates to one main table.
I would like to have 4 DropDownMenu's populate themselves based upon the choice of the previous menu.
Example.
Menu A contains four names - John, Henry, Larry, Ed.
When user selects Henry from Menu A, Menu B will show the following choices - Bread, Peanuts, Pickles, Chips.
When user selects Chips from Menu B, Menu C will show the following - BBQ, Ranch, Plain.
When user selects Plain from Menu C, Menu D will show the following - 1 oz., 5 oz., 8 oz.
All of those fields relate to individual tables that all contain a relationship to the main table. Is there a particular way in which I can populate multiple tables based upon the preceeding menu?

i have a page which displays a list of events searched for by a particular date. we usually have a lot of events and i don't want the user to have scroll through all of them, especially if they're interested in a particular type of event.
i have created a dynamic drop down menu which consists of all the event types. how can i got about displaying the events returned by the query to a specific event for that date.
so for example, if some one searches for 03/08/2005, they will initially get a list of all events for that day. if they click on "Closed" from the drop down menu, it will display all the "Closed" events for 03/08/2005.

I need to create a page which updates a products information within a record.
the tables are,
products (ID,CatID,sID)
supplier (sID,sName),
category (CatID, CatName)
The above tables supplier and category have relationships to products by using the sID and CatID
I need to update the product details by having a select/option for a supplier and category but if not changed by the user the value already within products table stays the same, therefore the list must be dynamic so that the first item in the list is the one relating to the value in the products table. Also the value must be the ID numbers but must display the names not the ID's to the users within the select/option.

I could not solve for the past 3 days. I am try to build a website using ASP and VBscript. I am still a newbie to it.Let's get to the problem. What I am trying to do is to have multiple dropdown list. Each list menu ( except the 1st) dependes on the choice made in the one above.
I am using dreamweaver, it did generate a the form and everything and I was able to filter the results. The problem is that I don't know HOW TO REFRESH THE LIST. In other words, I can't figure out how to change the list menu options when the choices above change. I have tried to find some tutorial about it, but all I found was with JavaScript and I don't wanna mix VBS with JS.

Does anyone know how to make it so that when someone clicks on certain menu item on one list it automatically updates a second list with values.For example,if i click the Make of a car in one list, i want the second list to automatically update with the relative Models.
I've seen it done on various sites such as www.autotrader.co.uk but can't think how its done. So far i'm populating the first list dynamically with a database but don't know what the next step is to get the second one to do it.

I currently have an "Add customer" page on my site. On this page you can choose multiple "brands" from a list box. (These brands are dynamic and come from a seperate table in my db). These brands are split up into an array and each added as a row to a database table.
Now I am working on a "Modify customer" page. It has all the same fields as my Add page except that the fields are already filled in with information from the db. I can't seem to figure out how to have my list box have multiple items selected when you first come to the page.

If a user is selected from the list the submit button redirects to page1.asp. if a supervisor is selected the same submit button redirects to page2.asp My question is how can I submit the form without using more than one submit button.

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 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 have created a webpage with a form written in javascript for a user to enter information. Part of this form requires the user to type in information and then add it to a list, which is of the type <SELECT>. When the user submits the form, I want all the entries in the SELECT list to be entered into the database. If I use the command Request.Form("name"), where "name" is the name of the SELECT field, only the selected entry is retreived. I need to retreive all entries in the list. Does anyone know how I can do this?

else if tf.value = null then

I have a string of ASP code that writes a new database entry into my SQL server table. Is there a function that I can run directly after the database entry code, that can tell me if the data was successfully entered? Eg of current code:
SQLCode = "INSERT INTO GarProductList VALUES (" & "'" & App_Name & "'" & ", " & "'" & Option_Number & "'" & ")"
response.write "SQL Code is: " & SQLCode & "<br>"
Set objRS = MyConn.Execute (SQLCode)
<< perhaps call certain function here to verify SQL table was updated? >>
If database update successful -> function should return 1 If database update fails -> function should return 0 ... or something like that. In any case, some exception response should be returned.

I am trying to learn and use good DHTML concepts and code (assuming they are needed). My current issue concerns how to handle this situation.
I have a Select List box which displays values based on what value is selected in a dropdown list. For example, my dropdown list contains a class name, and the Select list contains all of the students who are registered for that class.
So what I would like to occur, is when the user changes the class from the dropdown box, the Select List is re-created displaying the students who are enrolled in that class.
I thought I could do this without having to reload the page (with DHTML) but here is my problem. Code:
