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 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: .....

View Replies View RelatedI 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 .

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 would ideally like to present an initial list based on one DB table. The user selects an item, and the 2nd list is updated to show items from the DB related to the first selection. As I understand it, there are a number of possible solutions, but I dont
know much about any of them, nor which is currently the recommended route.
This is going to be applied in an intranet application, so it gives me a bit of freedom to use the technology I wish, but if there is an accessible solution (as in WAI) that would be great.
