Filling In Drop Downs W/ASP
I'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?

I 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.

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.

i 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 have an sql database, and an asp website. I need to send emails to users from the site. I have loaded the recordset with the email field from the table. I them send an email to all the emails in the recordset. I use the BCC field to do this. The problem is, sometimes the emails get missed judged as spam or junk. How can I fill the TO field of the email instead, with the emails from the recordset, and send an email to each address individually, in like a loop or something? So like, it will go through and send an email to email1, then loop back through and send one to email2, and so on....

Using ADO/ASP, I want to retrieve a list of pics from my db (which will be
dynamic number of pics as a user will be uploading anything from 1 to 12
pics) and put them in a grid (table) of say 3 x 4 cells.
I think this is easy to do if the user has uploaded 12 pics, as the
recordset's recursive loop will create the table for me, but my problem is
that what if they only upload 4, 5 or 7. How do I list these pics in my
grid, but get the ASP to neatly finish off the 3 x 4 grid? If I just leave
it to my recordset of say 7 recs then my 3 x 4 table is going to disjointed
and unfinished.

On 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.

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.

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 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"
