Nav Menus
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.
Pop Up Menus
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.
Drop Down Menus
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.
Drop Down Menus In ASP
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.

View Replies View RelatedPerformance On Drop-down Menus
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.
Drop Down Menus And Value Changing
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?
Dependant Drop Menus
How do I make a dependant drop box? For example, when a user selects Item5 on the first drop menu the second one populates with the options for Item5? I know it will probably use Java of some sort but I do not know the code.

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?
Best Way To Display Selected Menus?

Template Driven Web
My client has 35 domains (web addresses) that they want to host on a Windows 2K box with IIS 5. They want one application built using ASP and SQL server, hosted somehow on the IIS so that it appears as the same application for each domain. The end user of each domain will actually be using the same application.The head of each of the 35 domain, or the jr. web master of each domain should be able to cutomize the look of the each of their domain. This customization feature would be built into the ASP application. Things that can be changed would be some text, color of text, size and color of input boxes.
This application will be similar to some of the eCommerce sites that have a web interface for their merchants to be able to modify their individual sites. Sort of selecting and modifying templates. They want 1 application so any changes and update of the application will reflect on all domains.My question is how do I start designing this?
Where can I get info on this project, any opensource stuff I can look at?
Do I incorporate XML anywhere?The domains will be accessing the same DB, how do I minimize DB trips?
Database Driven XML
I have found some code on the net and been given permission to use it. However I wish to connect this code to a SQL Server database, so what would I use? I am mainly an ASP/HTML/JS user but it will not let me use the standard VB script on a .xml page. How do I connect my XML to the database?
View Replies View RelatedASP/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.

I have two menu form elements that need to refelect a parent child relationship. There are 85 zones and 2200 zone-network combinations.
I want to bind the networkid element to an xml datasource that contains only the networks related to that zone. I have read about something like this before but have never implemented it.
create table tblZone ( zoneid int, zonename varchar(20))

View Replies View RelatedDatabase Driven Image Gallery
what i want to do is create an image gallery, that when u click on a picture it opens in a pop up with the images caption and name there also. I've stored the captions and image names in a database - images.mdb table - Images
I just need a page now that sorts it all out to display the correct image, caption and title in the pop up. The images are stored in folder images and the database in the website root directory.
i've read a couple of articles on various websites, and played with the image gallery wizard on Frontpage but the websites dont explain my problem, and i cant adapt the gallery on frontpage. I'm a bit of a novice in ASP so I would really appreciate it if you could some how make the bits of the script I need to change standout.
Date Driven Data Display
My client has an annual calendar of events consisting of a record for each event, key field is the event date saved as a date type field. They would like the display to start with the current month, list to the end of the year then start the beginning of the year and list up to the current month.How does one retrieve data based on date? I guess I'd like something like :
SELECT * FROM EVENTS WHERE [month is greater than or equal to the current
month] ORDER BY Date
Then :
SELECT * FROM EVENTS WHERE [month is less than the current month] ORDER BY
Date
What is the syntax for the month bits between the []?
Database Driven Programming Model
I always heard the term "data/database driven programming" model in ASP database, SQL programming, and web programming circles. But I don't quite sure what does it mean? Does it mean the web software's responds are based on data request from the user? Just like in Windows, we call it "event-driven programming" model because the windows program's responds based on user's responses? That's why we call "data driven programming" ?

ASP Plugin/Template Driven Portal Project
I'm currently in the middle of the most advanced ASP project I have ever worked on, and was wondering if I can get any feedback on what anyone thinks about it so far (or suggestions for improvement later, etc.)
Basically, it will be a single core set of ASP files, that will allow anyone to set up a webpage in minutes by simply selecting a pre-developed site template, and pre-developed site plugins (a plug-in being anything from a menu, to a CC processing tool, etc.), so that user's can simply "manage" their site look/use rather than program everything over and over again. In the end there will even be an import to instantly convert any existing site.
Developers can build templates and plug-ins at will, and will be interchangeable on the site with the click of a link or button.
This project is planned to be open source but is still months away from completion, but to check out a sample of how it basically will work, we are currently testing it at URL.
Creating A Database Driven Breadcrumb Trail
I want to create a breadcrumb trail on a site, but instead of being
generated by cookies or a directory structure, it needs to be database
driven. My website details hundreds of products, each belonging to a
category. Each category can belong to a parent category, and so on.
My site will feature master/detail pages, and both need to feature a
trail, e.g.
Books > Hobbies > Sport > Football
The master page will list all items within the current category, and the
trail will allow the user to click to any parent category for a wider
listing.
The detail page will show the item detail, along with a full trail to
the category/parent categories it belongs to.
The category structure will grow over time, and different branches will
have different number of levels so it needs to be maintainable.
Current-Date-Driven Range Of Events
I entered a whole year's worth of events. I want to display a range of events which change according to the date, so only 2 weeks later and one week earlier are displayed on the main page.
How did other people deal with similar issues? I know I can set a range mathematically speaking (date + 14 AND date -7). But did other people encounter other issues? How did you solve them?
