Making Dropdown Menu Dependent On Another Dropdown
I have a category that I will call "company". in my access DB, there are about 6 or so companies. On another table, I have a list of locations that are related to these companies.
What I want to do, is have a drop down menu that lists all the companies. When you select the company, the second drop down menu will automatically populate with the locations of the company you selected in the first dropdown.
Anyone know any links to some examples of this? My google searches have been pretty fruitless since Im having a bit of a problem trying to explain it concisely (as you probably noticed).

I have a dropdown box getting data from a database, and I send the data to the database on form submition, But, I need to send another data to another column to the database according with the user dropdown box selecion. Example.
Dropdown option 1: DELL Corp.
Dropdown option 2: IBM Corp.
Dropdown option 3: Avante Systems
If the user select DELL Corp., it will send 'DELL Corp.' to the database but I need it to send dell.jpg to another column too. I have the code to send the data, but the relationship of the boxes is 'the thing'.
A solution almost like bellow is what I am looking for, but instead of, the selection in the first combo should point to another selecion in the second combo (so the second combo will have the dell.jpg value): http://forums.aspfree.com/code-bank...own-137839.html

I want to have dependent dynamic dropdown lists where the person can select the state, then county, then zip code, and all 3 of these menus will be populated by a database. I have a page that Ive been working on but I just cant get it. The page I am working on also refreshes when you select the state, then when you select the county it refreshes again but instead of populating the zipcode list it just takes the state name and inserts it into the city menu. Code:

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. Code:

I have 2 drop down menus with data populated dynamically from a database.
Category
Subcategory
If i select an appropriate category the subcategory should change instantly to show the subcategories relating to the selected category. But i can't use a form submit, because before the forms are other textboxes with other values that i don't want to wipe on a page refresh.
I need to somehow preload the categories and their related subcategories. I've been trawling through examples, most are harcoded combobox values which won't work for me.

I am trying set up a page where the user can view records chosen by the year.
I want to use a dropdown menu/list. Having trouble figuring out the sql behind this.
My db table has about 10 fields in it, one of which is the year this record was created. i want the enduser to be able to enter the page, and first step is to select a year to view. Again, i want this to be chosen using a drop down menu. After clicking I would like the page to show a simple table pulling up all the records from that year.
i know this sounds simple enough, but i cannot find this info/tutorial anywhere.. you guys are my only hope.

I have code to present on this forum, but not with me at the moment. This is what is happening now. On my page there is a drop down box that calls on an onChange javascript function. The drop down box dynamically displays locations depending on the location of the cars.
Therefore...if Toyota Camrys are in Philadelphia and New York, the drop-down box will display: ALL, Philadelphia, and New York. Selecting one will filter out only those in that location.
What i want to do is...change it so...it displays dynamically the locations horizontally...here is an example: PREFERED LOCATION? ALL PHILADELPHIA NEW YORK (all are links to filter out those that do not match the location).
i need to do it to save space and make it more user-friendly.

have a dropdown that pulls all the Projects (tp_title) available. All
I want to do is get the ID (tp_id) of that record so I can get the
developer assigned to that project (tp_assigned_to). Then, when I get
the developer, I need that to be redirected to a second page. Code:

Lets say you have a dropdown box with few options in it. Several products have such a dropdown box. is there a way to do this following stuff.
I want one of that options in the dropdown box to be 'unique'. When selected, it would dissapear, or it can't be clicked on, on another product's dropdown. 'yes or no' answer would do just fine for now.

i have a web page which allows user to update Subject information. There may be several subjects in the dropdown box. However, each person will have a subject allocated to him when he is inserted into the database.
As such, now when i want to update his particulars, in the Subject dropdown box, i would like to set his Subject to the one in the database followed by the rest which he can choose.
Eg.
Originally, Subject = Literature
Update:
in Subject dropdown box, i will see Literature at default but when i click the dropdown box, i will see the other options such as History, Gepgraphy etc. How should i go about doing this?

I have seen some techniques like this on the web. Currently, I'm using Combo
box which values came from database table. One disadvantage is when the
combo box have lots of values, users are complaining since you cannot use
keyboard to search the value that is needed.

i now have my dropdown connected to my database. everytime the user adds a new record, he simply has to choose a Department from the dropdown menu. However, when he tries to edit that record, the value that he has chosen from the dropdown and has been saved to the database cannot be retrieved in the dropdown menu.
so i want to retrieve the data from the database INTO THE DROPDOWN so it would be the default value of that dropdown menu when the user edits his specific record.

Here is my page:
<form name=myForm>
<select onChange="myForm.forename.value = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="Arnold">Pam
<option value="Mokoena">Joe
<option value="Seth">Pat
</select>
<input type=text name=forename disabled>
</form>
when inserting on the database,the value of the dropdown option is the same as the value of the textbox which is wrong.they must not have the same values example
when Pan is selected,then the value inserted to the database must be "pam" not Arnold.
