Select Box Option Values
I am creating an application in ASP (old school ASP not .NET) and VBSCRIPT connecting to a SQL Server 2000 back end. There is a form on my webpage that has a select box in which <option> tags allow users choose a document type.
Once the document type is determined it is sent off as a parameter in a stored procedure on the databse. The recordset returned holds the values that are required to go in another set of options boxes.
(the next set of option box values depend on the query results). I know it sounds easy...I mean I know how to do it if it where on 2 seperate pages (thats easy) where it passes on the info...but this is for ONE asp page.

I have loaded a combobox (select) with a recordset from SQL Server. I am trying to accomplish two things, so I will break them up.1) Is there a way to allow the user to enter as many characters in the dropdown menu. For example, if you have serveral options in the dropdown menu that start with A, they can key in app.. to got to apples, instead of entering A and then having to keydown or click on the dropdown menu.
Granted there is a solution to #1, could you also allow the user to key information and if it is not apart of the dropdown menu, insert the value back into SQL (kind of like an notonlist event in Access).I have googled this and can't find anything, probably wrong keywords used.

i just want to ask on how will i load the other version of file written in another language (e.g Japanese)upon selecting that particular language from the option box. Like for instance the options are English, Arabic, Japanese and so on...then upon choosing the Arabic language, the page that contains an Arabic language (layout and data)will be displayed.

I am trying to force the last option selected in a drop down!, I basically have a page with a drop down box in which sends to itselfs when selected, the idea is
the selected value updates a postage amount depending on the country selected from the dropdown.
However when it returns to the page it defaults back to 'select country' and I would really like it to be able to display the option selected as this is part of the address form.
the relevant country is correct, and i am putting that into a request.querystring so this variable (destination) is available to test/compare against and maybe force select this way, but i just don;t know how to write the asp/html to make the select value go to either this variable or the last one selected. 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:
<select name="CategoryName">
<option selected></option>
<option value="first">first category</option>
<option value="second">second category</option>
</select>
<br>
New Category<br>
<input name="CategoryName" type="text" size="26"
maxlength="255">
What is the best way of not having that extra preceeding comma appear as
the value if the user chooses to add a brand new category?

I have a form where the user selects their EmployeeID from a DB populated dropdown list. Then they fill out some other information and submit the form. I would like to make it possible that when the user selects their EID, other DB information tied to that EID is displayed on that page (Name, Phone #, etc), so that when the EID is selected, the employee can see their name and info, before the form is submitted.
Is it possible for JS/DHTML to show which value is selected (without posting the form) and then use that variable to call the additional information from my DB using SQL? I would probably then show that value using <div> or something.
Sorry, I am familiar with ASP/VBScript & SQL, but I don't know a ton about Javascript. And I don't think what I want to do is possible with only ASP, unless I post my form to another page, and then that page post the final submission for the form... I'd rather keep everything on one page, then submit the form.

I have one table which has 3 fields within a SQL Database, the first is ID numbers, the second is Country and the third is City (within that Country)Eg: I have 1; United Kingdom; London
What I am trying to do is have an “optgroup” dropdown box with the Countries as the optGroup label and the cities related to each country under that optGroup. I want to populate the dropdown box with this data, preferably in alphabetical order of city. Is there a way to do this in ASP?

I have a difficult technical challenge I'm facing. I need to retrieve multiple values for the very bottom item in the list, 'Federated' (ignore the rest).
The database will query based off the option 'value', however, in this special case I want to perform a retrieval based off of multiple of values. I want to try to use the existing code without reinventing the wheel. Code:

I'm building a page to update an existing database entry. On the form to do so, I have a basic select option menu as such:
<select size="1" name="ColR" style="width: 115px">
<option value="FFFFFF">White</option>
<option value="000000">Black</option>
<option value="FF0000">Red</option>
<option value="FF9900">Orange</option>
<option value="FFFF00">Yellow</option>
<option value="008000">Green</option>
<option value="0000FF">Blue</option>
<option value="4B0082">Indigo</option>
<option value="9400D3">Violet</option>
</select>
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 this SELECT box which allows users to select multiple items to delete... however if they select 2 or more items... the values get passed over as 'one, two'
So the sql looks like Delete From Table Where Field='one, two';
How do i do it in such a way that it becomes:
Delete From Table Where Field='one';
Delete From Table Where Field='two';?

I'm having trouble getting a certain value out of my database. Code:
reportID = Request("reportID")
sql = "SELECT * FROM reports WHERE reportID =" & reportID
set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
set rs=conn.execute(sql)
I can get every value I want out except for one, rs("courses"), which is a text field that is filled from a multiple select form that enters the ID numbers of courses. The thing is, when I check the actual Access db file, I can see the value there (e.g: 1, 2, 3), but when I try to print it to my page (e.g: <% = rs("courses") %>),
I get nothing. I can't figure out why it won't work especially as I have an identical field in another table which I can get the value for using exactly the same method.
Anyone have any idea what could possibly going wrong?

I first retrieve the values stored in a session variable (where I have stored an array). Then I assign the session variable to a local array called "myarray".
Assume that "myarray" now contains 5 records. What would the code look like if I want to create a loop that transfers the 5 values from "myarray" into a select box/dropdown list?
How is that done?

I use a multi-select menu in an ASP so the user can pick several values.
<select multiple name="lbErrorType" size="12">
However, after I have saved the records to the DB, and the user comes back
to edit a prior record, I re-populate the multiple select box and do a
"<option selected>" for each record that is saved to the DB.
<option selected>
But only the last value is selected !?!?
How do I get the select menu to select ALL the appropriate values ?

My users have to select an value from a fixed selection of values. The
obvious choice of control for such a requirement is to use a <select> (i.e.
a combo box).
My problem is that sometimes, these combo boxes will have a *large* number
of values. There could be any number of values in them from 5 to 5 million
(unlikely it would be this large but possible).
Obviously 5 million is far too much to populate a <select> control with.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to how a user could select a value from a
*potentially* very large selection of values (i.e a suitable alternative to
the <select> control)?

I'm having problems retrieving all the values from a multiple selection field using the freeaspupload component.
I'm creating an online email app that uses the freeaspupload to add attachement functionality, which means the form encoding type is multipart/form-data. I've done something similar with the persits aspupload component, and had no problems with that, but the freeaspupload version seems to handle <select> fields slightly differently. Code:

I am trying to learn and use good DHTML concepts and code (assuming they are needed). My current issue concerns how to handle this situation.
I have a Select List box which displays values based on what value is selected in a dropdown list. For example, my dropdown list contains a class name, and the Select list contains all of the students who are registered for that class.
So what I would like to occur, is when the user changes the class from the dropdown box, the Select List is re-created displaying the students who are enrolled in that class.
I thought I could do this without having to reload the page (with DHTML) but here is my problem. Code:

I want to call a recordset so you can edit the details and then obviously pass the parameters onwards into the db. However, the user guide just says this:
To process other fields in the form, use the Form collection of the upload object the same way you would use the Form collection of the Request object. For example, if your form had a text element named UserName, your processing code would include: Code:

Below is an extract from a form that i am writing. I need the user to be able to have a drop down menu of languages. How do I use the 'option value' command in ASP like you can do in HTML.If someone could amend my code to give me a couple of language options so I can get an idea of how it is down.
<tr id="r_Lang">
<td class="ewTableHeader"><span>Language<span class='ewmsg'> *</span></span></td>
<td class="ewTableAltRow"><span id="cb_x_Lang">
<input type="text" name="x_Lang" id="x_Lang" size="30" maxlength="25" value="<%= Server.HTMLEncode(x_Lang&"") %>">
