Changing "selected" Option On Select Menu Dynamically?
I'm building a page to update an existing database entry. On the form to do so, I have a basic select option menu as such:
<select size="1" name="ColR" style="width: 115px">
<option value="FFFFFF">White</option>
<option value="000000">Black</option>
<option value="FF0000">Red</option>
<option value="FF9900">Orange</option>
<option value="FFFF00">Yellow</option>
<option value="008000">Green</option>
<option value="0000FF">Blue</option>
<option value="4B0082">Indigo</option>
<option value="9400D3">Violet</option>
</select>
I'd like to have the option that matches the current value in the database field display as the selected option. I know it's easy enough to manually force one option or another to be selected, but how could I change which one it is based on the database contents?

I have dynamcally populated a drop down menu with data from an access
database using ASP. The values seem fine, however when i pass them to
the next page (using form get method) the whitespaces in the values
are ignored.
For example with <option value=jim jones> then only "jim"
gets passed to the next page not "jim jones". I have viewed the source
created on the dynamic page and the values are populated fine, but
passing to the next page seems to be problematic...

I have a form named: 'formhandheld' and a select with the name: 'pricing_option'.
I'm trying to make the select <option> thats based on 'axDD3current' selected.
what's the code ? Probably more of a JavaScript question than ASP
document.formhandheld.pricing_option.options[<%=axDD3current%>].selected;
the above doesn't work

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>"

how would I go about setting the <selected> attribute of a jump menu to one representing the current page? background info: i have a template-based site employing a jump menu as the navigation, but for usability's sake it needs to not reset back to the first option in the menu, but rather hang on to the current page as the 'selected' option. example of similar HTML showing the hard-coded 'selected' option I need to change: Code:
<form name="form">
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<option value="page1.asp" selected>page1</option>
<option value="page2.asp">page2</option>
</select>
<input type="button" name="Button1" value="Go" onClick="MM_jumpMenuGo('menu1','parent',0)">
</form>

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 loaded a combobox (select) with a recordset from SQL Server. I am trying to accomplish two things, so I will break them up.1) Is there a way to allow the user to enter as many characters in the dropdown menu. For example, if you have serveral options in the dropdown menu that start with A, they can key in app.. to got to apples, instead of entering A and then having to keydown or click on the dropdown menu.
Granted there is a solution to #1, could you also allow the user to key information and if it is not apart of the dropdown menu, insert the value back into SQL (kind of like an notonlist event in Access).I have googled this and can't find anything, probably wrong keywords used.

i just want to ask on how will i load the other version of file written in another language (e.g Japanese)upon selecting that particular language from the option box. Like for instance the options are English, Arabic, Japanese and so on...then upon choosing the Arabic language, the page that contains an Arabic language (layout and data)will be displayed.

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 am trying to force the last option selected in a drop down!, I basically have a page with a drop down box in which sends to itselfs when selected, the idea is
the selected value updates a postage amount depending on the country selected from the dropdown.
However when it returns to the page it defaults back to 'select country' and I would really like it to be able to display the option selected as this is part of the address form.
the relevant country is correct, and i am putting that into a request.querystring so this variable (destination) is available to test/compare against and maybe force select this way, but i just don;t know how to write the asp/html to make the select value go to either this variable or the last one selected. Code:

I am creating an application in ASP (old school ASP not .NET) and VBSCRIPT connecting to a SQL Server 2000 back end. There is a form on my webpage that has a select box in which <option> tags allow users choose a document type.
Once the document type is determined it is sent off as a parameter in a stored procedure on the databse. The recordset returned holds the values that are required to go in another set of options boxes.
(the next set of option box values depend on the query results). I know it sounds easy...I mean I know how to do it if it where on 2 seperate pages (thats easy) where it passes on the info...but this is for ONE asp page.

I have an ASP admin script where I'm adding records, and I have a
category that already has set name values hard-coded into a selct option
pulldown, but if the user wants to create a new category and not use the
select pulldown, the value will end up being " , newvalue" when posting
from this sequence of pulldown and input text box:
<select name="CategoryName">
<option selected></option>
<option value="first">first category</option>
<option value="second">second category</option>
</select>
<br>
New Category<br>
<input name="CategoryName" type="text" size="26"
maxlength="255">
What is the best way of not having that extra preceeding comma appear as
the value if the user chooses to add a brand new category?

I use a multi-select menu in an ASP so the user can pick several values.
<select multiple name="lbErrorType" size="12">
However, after I have saved the records to the DB, and the user comes back
to edit a prior record, I re-populate the multiple select box and do a
"<option selected>" for each record that is saved to the DB.
<option selected>
But only the last value is selected !?!?
How do I get the select menu to select ALL the appropriate values ?
