I cannot get the selected option to be POSTed (it does not appear in the
QueryString when using GET neither)
I construct the drop down list from an array, I select an element in the
list, I POST using a submit button. When I use Request.Form("NAME") it's
always empty. Is the selected item is Posted? How to retreive it?
Response.Write "<SELECT NAME>"
for i = LBound(aRessource, 1) to UBound(aRessource, 1)
Response.Write "<OPTION VALUE=" & i & ">"
Response.Write aRessource(i, 0)
next
Response.Write "<OPTION SELECTED>"
Response.Write "</SELECT>"

How could I do this in asp?
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 having a drop down list and other text boxes in a form. I need to retrive and fill text boxes from database depending on the selected item in drop down list. I am using javascript as scripting language. Can any body give solution.
what I want to do is - the user is presented with a form with a drop down box at the top with two options - Yes or No, If No is selected then the form stays as is and the user can complete the other text boxes.
However, if the user selects yes I want the page to refresh with a different set of input boxes.
The 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:
I have an ASP admin script where I'm adding records, and I have a category that already has set name values hard-coded into a selct option pulldown, but if the user wants to create a new category and not use the select pulldown, the value will end up being " , newvalue" when posting from this sequence of pulldown and input text box:
I have a dropdown menu with parents' names, and on the same page when a name is selected (through an onChange event), another drop dpwn boix containing student names change according to the parent selected.
But I want the Parent drop down box to contain the parent's name who was selected, and although the event works, it just keeps displaying the first name of the list of parents even after a different parent is selected.
I am still trying to get my feet wet with ASP, VBScript, and MS SQL here and I am trying to create a very useful page where I can eaisly view my SQL tables and the columns within those tables.
I have two SQL scripts that work well, one to display the tables within my database and one that shows me the column names in that table.
I created a form, added a drop down selection and coded it so the table names appear in the drop down, then added a "Submit" button.
What I am trying to do is get the page to display the column names below based on the table name I select from the drop down list.
ISSUE #1: I cannot seem to get the table name when chosen from the drop down to pass it's value to the second query so it can display the results.
ISSUE #2: How do I display these results from the chosen table name based on the column script below? Code:
I have a list box with a number of values (4) on a ASP form, the value is stored in a database field.
When a form to amend the record is loaded, I would like to display the list box with the currently held value as the seleceted item in the list box. e.g.
4 items in listbox A B C D
B selected and saved.
Amendment form displayed, List box contains A B C D, with B highlighted.
Problem is when there is an error with one of the other fields and the press reloads the county is reset to Select County how can i remember this value.
I'd like to have the option that matches the current value in the database field display as the selected option. I know it's easy enough to manually force one option or another to be selected, but how could I change which one it is based on the database contents?
I have dynamcally populated a drop down menu with data from an access database using ASP. The values seem fine, however when i pass them to the next page (using form get method) the whitespaces in the values are ignored.
For example with <option value=jim jones> then only "jim" gets passed to the next page not "jim jones". I have viewed the source created on the dynamic page and the values are populated fine, but passing to the next page seems to be problematic...

I am creating one web page which contain a drop down list. It use the data from database. Now my problem is when the user select the drop down list value, I want the current selected value update to the database. How to write the code?

I have several list/menu with static value options.
The problem is when I submit the form and another value is incorrect, each list/menu is reset to the initially selected value as defined in dreamweaver (in my case 'Please Select').
With text inputs I can easily set the value to the value passed through the form, however it's not as simple for a list/menu.
Is it possible to change the 'selected' option based on the variable passed?
It's annoying in the sense that even though the user has selected an option, if they make a mistake elsewhere they always have to reselect their list/menu choice...
Im using a drop down list for user to select their option. (For example the user selected type2) All goes fine for saving, but when I retrieve the info from database to be display on the same form on the same drop down list, it display Select Heretype2
I'm sure an ASP programmer would be able to create this function within 5 minutes, but I'm just learning and I've fumbled my way through creating a little site content management system for a local community group. I'm a designer and the site looks great (so I'm told) but I just can't get this last page to work. I'm desperate for help!!!
I'm trying to call the values for a drop-down list from a seperate categories table in Access, to add/update records in a main Access table/query. The page/form is used to:
a) diplay/edit existing records; or b) add new (if cstr = "").
I have finally managed to display the correct selection in the drop-down list for existing records (not sure if code is correct?) but I can't work out how to write changes (edit record) back to the database; or 'save' a new record? I'm also not sure if I should be trying to write data to the table or query? Code:
