Populating A Drop-down Box & Text Field
I was wondering if someone could help me with finding out how to populate a drop-down box with values queried from a database.
Also, I was also wondering if someone could help me with figuring out a way to place field-values retrieved from a table into a text field. This would be for the purpose of editing a record that has previously been entered.
Placing the information in a texbox field so that the user can easily type over it seems like the best thing to do.

I am working on a small application for senior users, so I want to limit the option for incorrect input whatsoever. I have a drop down box that is populated from a query and I want to make it so that when an option is selected, the pertinent text fields are populated based on the selection.
All the info I need is already being extracted from the query so its just a matter of displaying the right info based on the selection. I have been looking for examples of code but they all seem to use javascript. I am not too strong in javascript so I kinda avoided those. if there is a pure asp example, that would be fine!

I have a page with a drop down box and a text field. The drop down box selects a column from a table in my database. txtField is the drop down box and txtSearch is the text field.
The form method is post and the results are passed to the next page which has the query for the database as shown below. Anyone any ideas why I get no results from the query? It works in queryanalyzer so I assume its my asp thats wrong? Code:

Can someone point to an example where dynamic drop-downs are populated? I would like to execute a sql statment and populate the items in dropdownbox1. I would also like to retrieve all possible values for dropdownbox2 and use Javascript to build an array that holds these values.
Then, I would like to scroll thru the array to select the correct values for dropdownbox2 based in the selection made in dropdownbox1. At last I would like to save the selected values for dropdownbox1 and dropdownbox2 to the database. I would appreciate very much if someone can give me code examples for each of the things listed above.

I'm orking on an online Catalogue, users are to select from a dropdown menu the finish they wish there goods in. The way I was thinking of doing this is have the finishes availiable stored in a column in the database - lets say 'finish' and the column would contain the finishes seperated by commas.. like red,blue,green,yellow etc, so the pull down menu would need to dynamically populate with these values.. is there an easy way of doing this, or am I going about it the wrong way?

im looking at populating a drop down box with database values when a user selects a value from another drop down box.I have a drop down list that populates from database values, it is a list of manufactures. When a user selects a manufacture i want it to display all the systems for that manufacture which will be stored in a table. I understand that because asp is server side that once an option is selected the page would have to submit and then load the values in.

I'm trying to pass information using POST. The first screen the user selects a company, and that variable is passed to the second page. On the second page, I am trying to populate a drop down list of usernames, but only those usernames that have the same company as the one selected on the prior page.
For some reason, the drop down list does not fill up with any names, and the rest of the form comes up blank(i.e. password, login, reset). Are there any glaring errors in this code? Code:

I am trying with very little success to populate two drop down boxes in the same form when i do i get an error saying page cannot be displayed.
They do not need to be linked to each other in any way but they get the data from the same table I am new to ASP so this might be pretty easy to resolve.

I have a check box and I need to automatically select certain values from the avaialable selection in drop down lists when the tick box is selected. So check box is selected and then drop1 = blah1 and drop2= blah2.
Would somebody have an example i can work on a bit, I am not sure if JavaScript is the best way of handling this, not very good with making anything work automatically.

Anyone know how to create a drop down menu where the user can enter text
also?
If they do not want to choose an answer from the drop down menu, the
users can just enter their own answers in the drop down box. Anyone
know if this is possible?

I am relatively new to ASP but am fairly familiar with PHP and ASP.NET and JavaScript.
My problem is this:
I have a drop down box which is populated from the database (Access), it sets the value to the ID of a hospital ward, and the text to the name of the ward.
I then use the ID to look up an email address for the manager of the ward from another table in the database. My un-optimised code is as follows: Code:

i am using ASP with recordset I am using nvarchar field and TEXT field in ms sql server
i update it as follows
rs("thenvarcharfield") = request.form("somedata")
rs("thetextfield") = request.form("someotherdata")
rs.Update
at one page it works fine and when i use the same kind of code to update another TEXT field it doesn't update and the I.E. loading bar increases very slowly and the next page never loads someone suggested to use .appendchunk i used rs.appendchunk and i got the error "object doesn't support this property or method" he also said that .appendchunk cannot be used to update nvarchar.
i removed the code to update TEXT field and the page loaded as expected (normally)!
Why one text field worked fine while the other didn't?

I am trying to write some code that inserts or updates a text field in my SQL Server 2000 database. The SQL statement is created using a submit from a form, and the text is coming from a <textarea>, and therefore being placed into the SQL statement via a Request("field"). However, due to limitations in SQL Server 2000 and text fields, I can not use a simple Update or Insert command with text over 8000 bytes.
Does anybody have any sample statements that will help me update that field with larger amounts of data? I have tried using the WRITETEXT function and UPDATETEXT function with little or no success.

I been searching google but I can't find how to shorten a text field and if it has been shortened to place a space and triple dot (...) after it. So if the text field was 75 characters long it would shorten it to 50 and add " ...". Is it also possible to shorten it to 50 to the nearest word? This is what I got so far: Code:
...
<td>
<p>
<% = left(rs("my_text").value,50) & IF rs("my_text").count > 50 Then Response.Write(" ...") End If %>
</p>
</td>
...

In a form I have one pulldown menu, and one text field. Both MUST get their values from an Access database they connect to. Without submitting the form, how do I change the value appearing in the text field by changing the selection in the pulldown menu? Remember both the text field and the pulldown menu MUST get their values from a database.

I need a user to follow a format. For example entering a date. I need the user to enter a date in this format MM/DD/YY. How do I check to see if they followed that format?
I need the user to enter a currency amount without the "$" sign. How do I check to see if the Request.Form("price") value has a "$" sign in it? I guess I need to know how to parse a string in ASP.

I have an asp page that allows cdont mailing of form field values to persons matching slected criterea in their profile.
Works good if the user goes straight from the form to the email-making asp.
Then the user asked for a proofreading screen and what seemed simple took a bad turn.
When I try to pass from the proof reading screen to the asp that actually sends the email I only get the first word. as soon as a blank is encountered in the text it thinks it it done. Code:
