View RepliesI've been using ASP for smaller (up to 4 items) dropdown menus, and so far I've been if/then/ statements such as this boolean case:
Code:
<select name=""gift">
" <%If MyGift = true Then %>
<option value="true" selected>YES</option>
<option value="false">NO</option>
<% Else %>
<option value="true">YES</option>
<option value="false" selected>NO</option>
<% End If %>
</select>
How do you set the selected item in a drop-down menu when you have many items in the dropdown, as in the case where the dropdown contains the 31 possible days in a month?
how can i change the options of a combo box when selecting an option of another combo box?
View Replies View RelatedI have two drop downs. Both dropdowns are dynamic and data is send from a db for both,
Depending on what is selected in the first drop down i want to populate the second drop down. I know and have done this using XMLHTTPScripts but as this is for a website i dont want to go down this route.
I don't know what to call what I want, but here is the description. Can I use sub-Lists?
I have a dropdown that conatains a list of products. When a user chooses an item, I want another drop down or anything that will allow them to then choose the specific category.
For example:
#1: I have cars and trucks.
When I user selects cars, I want a dropdown to give them available cars to choose from.
Say for instance the user selects Ford. Then I want them to have the option to choose
from the list of Fords. Escort, T-bird etc. Their final choice is what's sent to the DB.
#2: Also, I don't want to give them the option to enter a date into the DB. I have a field in my DB design "timestamp". I want this field to be automatically populated server side once the data is submitted.
i guess it depends on the domain for that answer. If it's a box with hundreds of webpages serving thousands of customers you'd want to conserve network bandwidth you'd probably want to do javascript, but i wouldn't consider reloading a page a big hit since if you just open the connection and runing two queries. But if you need the bandwidth you could do it with javascript.
I try to keep things out of javascripts and out of the hands of the client. Mainly because if they're running an older computer it will take longer to load and put unnessary strain on them and also if the client has scripting disabled you have no more drop down boxes and your site is pretty much disabled. With the strickly asp method you'd have at least the options to choose from and not any core functionality taken from it. That's my 2 cents on javascript to asp.
Im getting the functionality of it down first, thats what It looks a little bland. Anyway, the basic idea is that im trying to have a person select a department which brings up a list of class numbers, which brings up a table of tutoring times. Ive just started using ASP a week ago, so don't tear me apart too much. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI want to make a form where m using two drop down menus.
Where in based on selection in first drop down the second drop down should populate itself with relevant data based on first drop down. Like first can be COUNTRY name and second can be STATE name where based oon country selected the STATES are displayed in second drop down for selection.
I have an existing ASP file in a virtual directory. When I type server. or request. in this text file using Microsoft Script Editor I get a dropdown showing the properties available for the object.
However, if I change the extension to ASP on an existing html file, or create a new asp file I'm not getting the dropdown. I suppose this indicates the objects are not available in these new files, and they would not run properly if I tried to open them. What am I missing in setting up these new ASP files?
basically what im trying to do is create a form to submit some data to an access db.
In the form i want to be able to have two dynamically populated drop downs (so if a user chooses cars in the first field it comes up with a bunch of car manufacturers, or if he chooses boats it comes up with boat builders etc etc.)
Ive searched high and low, and i the best i can find is javascript to make the drop dows. The java script however uses a form to repost the data back to the page to populate the second drop down. This wont work when its inside a form.
What I'm trying to accomplish is the ability to post information to the querystring based upon values that are within a drop down that was generated from a database. Code:
View Replies View Relatedi have a website that uses (or needs to use) dynamically driven dropdowns using asp & JS on all pages. it contains 3 different dropdowns that are DB fed and are dependent upon the value of each other. the drop down values are updated using a repost to itself.
they work perfectly on the initial pages where no other variables are involved, but i am having troubles on the pages where more variables are being sent. eg: i have use a lot of error checking, and when i repost, the variables are deleted, and thus the error listings take effect as the variables are now blank. can i refresh the dropdowns without repossting to the samepage without effecting the existing variables on that page? sessions? cookies?
I am creating a asp script that pulls records of an oracle database and displaying it as a table on an asp page. however what I want to do is display the records as links. for example.
record 1
(if record one is clicked)
record 1
information of another record from database 1
information another record from database 2
etc.
(and if record 1 is clicked again)
record 1
i really jus started learning asp and if anyone knows how to do that without any issues with client and server sides.
I have a table, which is bound to a database, how would I go about, making fields in one column, so that I can drill down on them.For example, I have a column of Groups, and I wish to click on a group and see the members in that group.
View Replies View RelatedThe code that I have has 2 drop down boxes dd1 (visible) and dd2 (hidden). Based on the option selected in dd1, dd2 should be visible and populate options. I think I can have OnChange script but how could I return the value and put it in the SQL query (see variable in red in thecode)? Code:

View Replies View RelatedOn one of my client's sites, we set up a subdirectory off the
app's root directory that doesn't allow the Anonymous IUSR_
account in. When we (the system admins) follow a link to
that directory, it presents the standard NT Challenge login
screen. We need to know proper Windows credentials to get
in -- and once we do, we have access to higher-order functions
(to change the read/write bit on files, to delete files,
etc. through the web interface). All that works fine.
I'm want to have a drop down box, for which each item in it have its own URL. I want it to be forwarded to the URL only when the button "go!" is pressed.
Here is my code, not working

<td>Add new
<select name="url" onsubmit="">
<option value="publication.asp">Publication</option>
<option value="newsRoom.asp">News Room</option>
<option value="general.asp">General</option>
</select>
item</td>
<td>
<input type="submit" value="Go!">

</form>
I created a drop down box, I want to do like when a user select one of the options, it automatically run a query and displays the result.
I hope there is a way to do this
In one of my ASP pages, I have a Combo box that gets the information from a sql database,
the number of records that is shown in the combo box is too much (around 6000 records),
the user has to select from these records (let say the user is looking for "George", by clicking
"G" the list goes directly to the first records starting with "G", so far everything is ok, now he/she
enters "e" (the second letter of "George"),this time the list goes to the first record starting with
"e", which is not the way that I want the user to find his/hers record.
I hope that I have explained it correctly, what I need is, after entering the second letter of
"George", the list moves to the records starts with "Ge", and by entering the third letter, list
moves to those records starting with "Geo" and so on.

ive written a piece of code that selects everything from the "Departments" table in a DB and it works well. It lists everything in a drop down box. i'm not writing a page where users can edit their details.

I have made a page in which i have 2 drop down boxes
in first i have got a choice from which i can select subject area eg ( microsoft, cicso , oracle) and after selecting the particular subject area the page reloads and retrive all the courses related to the particular subject area into the other drop down box, and after that when i select the course in the 2nd drop down box and click go then i got the whole information about that course.
Now what i want is that when i select the subject area in the first drop down box, all the courses should come as they are comming now + the 2nd drop down also have the option of "ALL COURSES " and after i select the "All Courses" option and click GO then i get all the courses and details os that subject area.

On my page I have 3 drop downs that are populated with static data. When my user makes a selection in either drop down I want to show my HTML table associated with that drop down selection, also the data in my tables are all static.
For example.
if the user selects CAR - New in dropdown 1 I want to show a list of my new cars
if the user selects TRUCK in dropdown 2, I want to hide my CARS and show my TRUCK list
if the user selects BOATS - Fiberglass in dropdown 3, I want to hide (if shown) CARS, and TRUCKS and show my boat list.
For now all of the data is static (don't ask) so I need to do all of this on the client. Is there a way to do this either using JavaScript, Div tags, CSS, etc.
I have a drop down box which selects an item. I want to execute an SQL query and display the results depending on which item is selected. I need this to happen as soon as the item is selected, ie without clicking any buttons. How do I go about this?
View Replies View RelatedI have a sql query that I wish to use in a drop down box. For instance a user would pull down a drop down box and select their name from the list... that would set the name equal to a variable. I know how to do an input box. and I know how to do the sql query ... but how do I put the query in the dropdown box?
The query is roughly this, assume that I have the syntax corrrect for the query (the exact syntax is at work atm and it is working without the box) . I have done my connect statements and such also.
"Select name From Worker"
I want to select a value (that comes from a query) in a drop down list. I have the drop down list working - but when I click the submit button it goes back to the first value instead of keeping the value that was selected in the field. I want to use this value later to select from another query.

View Replies View RelatedI have a database with fields like; age, hair colour, height, eye colour and more. I wanted to allow a user (on a webpage) to choose from a selection of these catagories, for example age drop down box displays; under 16, 16-21 etc.
The user then selects the one appropriate and when presses a submit button, this is then stored in the database. I want it to be accessible, so the user can edit it if necessary. I realise im going to have to use values in the drop boxes, but am not sure how to approach it.
Can I open and populate a listing.asp page based on a selection in a drop down box? The value in the dropdown box (ie. Wednesday) needs to locate 'Wednesday' in a database field and list all items that contain 'Wednesday' Anybody know of an article or reference where I can learn about this?

I have a dropdown box populated with a list of parents names on a page, and when you select a name, it uses the onChange method to change the names of students in a second dropdown box on the same page (this is done through stored procedures and it does not submit to a new page. this is all done on one page).
My problem is I do not want the student drop down box to appear until after the parents name is selected.
