Dynamic Drop Down Lists
I have to populate a drop down list from the database depending on the values of another drop down list. And the thing is it should also be able to add more dynamic dropdown lists to it.
Basically is a survey result page for which the one trying to look at the survey has to figure out different criteriaz.
Suppose he's looking for a group of people who are interested in buyin a stuff and then he wants to find if their age is above or below 50 and then further he decides to see if they are employed or not...
I did try a couple of things such as populating a dropdown list in a new page depending on the values passed on by previous one... but was hoping to find a better solution as the one i m workin is tooo complex and tooo complicated.

Does anyway know the best way (preferably usinge ASP and avoiding the use of Arrays) how to achieve the following:
I have an ASP page. In it, I have a FORM that contains 2 Radio Buttons and a Drop Down List. I need to have the values of the Drop Down List change depending on which Radio Button is selected by the User.
(I thought that maybe some sort of code acting on the OnChange action for the Radio Buttons might work??).

I have a SELECT element on my asp that is autopopulated from a search button.
Currently, the user inputs the saecrh term, clicks the button and the drop
down is populated from the DB. The user then select from the list. Everything
simple thus far.Now I have been asked if I can get the drop down to open automatically
(apparently to save the users the extra click of opening the list!!!), but I
cannot find out how to automate this (then again, I have little momentum to
do so at this stage) and I know this request will rear it's head again
shortly.

Not sure if this is posible but how do you create a dropdown box where if you type a "c" it takes you to the start of the c's then if you type an "h" it takes you to the ch's etct .

I need to populate a list box with values that will be determined by the selection of another list. What it is, is when we add a user, they get added to a city, eg Townsville and then there are a heap of groups that only apply to Townsville people.
So once I select Townsville as the location, I want to perform a search in AD and return the list of groups in the Townsville OU.
I am not exactly sure of the appropriate method to handle this in asp. If necessary, I could make a third page and just pass values to that from the second page. Is there a better way?
In case you are wondering, there are currently two pages. One is for use by supervisors/managers, and they fill out some details which get put into a URL that is emailed to the administrators.
Clicking on the link fills out the base form for the admin people, but I want them to have more access and to see more than the managers/supervisors that are submitting the request.

whether anyone had any knowledge of the use of dependant drop downs? For example i would like to choose a product based on the type i.e computer hardware, monitor etc then a list of all products of the same type be displayed in a following dropdown.
Any examples of similar things done, urls to try, your own experience? How simple is it to implement?

I have an ASP-page where I want to be able to select a fabric and color of that fabric. Since different fabrics comes with different colors I want to have a form with two drop-down lists where selection of fabric in the first list populates the second list with the right set of colors.

I have a drop down box(Yes, no) if users select Yes that is suppose to bring up another drop down list with a list of choices.
I was told by someone that the best way to go about is to create the second drop down list and make it read only, but make it editable when Yes from the previous drop down list is selected.

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 have a SQL Server (2005) and am attempting to populate 3 combo boxes by using SQL stored procedures.
The problem is that I cannot find out how to link the second combobox to the first using a selectedIndex method and the same with the last in relation to the second box. I can always pass from page-to-page, but that would be extremely inconvenient and time consuming for the user. Here is what I have so far: Code:

Basically, I have 2 separate drop-down lists, we'll call them List1 and List2.
Say List1 contains:
Fruits
Months
Sex
Now, I would like all 2 lists to be on the same page. A user would proceed to select something from List1, say "Fruits". Upon clicking on the drop down list for List2, the list items should automatically be updated to predefined items, say "Apples", "Oranges" and "Pears".
if the user changes his mind and goes back to select "Months" from List1, List2 should immediately display stuff pertaining to List1 items, say "January", "February", "March" etc etc....

I am having trouble with the ordering page. I would like a dynamic form list to look at a database and when the user selects a product code, the text boxes containing description and price change too to reflect the product code.
The user will be entering in their contact details, so I dont want the page to reload too because I will lose that info. Code:

i have two drop down boxes: student id and student name on a web form.
a database (ms access) has the student id and student name fields in a table.
the drop down boxes should get their values from the table's fields respectively.
i am ok with that (using asp) but my requirement is as follows:
once i select a studentid from textbox1 then automatically the textbox2 should be selected with the corresponding student name.
how can i do this using asp? or can javascript do the job too?

I hope this is the right group. I am very new to ASP so this is
probably a stupid question. I have some vbscript that query's AD and
populates a recordset. I know the recorset contains the information I
want by doing a Response.write. I am having problems dynamically
creating a drop down list from the data in the recordset. The drop down
is created but it is empty. Code:

I need advice how to reduce the size of my drop down list which is created dynamically using a field from my database. If you visit this link you'll see as the box is too long it's knocked out the whole look of the page. Other than shortening the names of the businesses, is there anything else I can do?
My concern is that next year sometime after this site has gone live, it will be maintained with a content manager by people with no IT expertise.

I have an form/application that requires several pages of steps to be completed. On page4 (income school info) I have a dynamic drop down list that builds itself from the database based on member names that the person has entered on the previous pages. When the person filling out the form gets to the end they have the chance to edit their data if something is wrong on page5a.
When they click on the edit icon the member name is passed back to page4 in the querystring. Based on what the member name is in the querystring, I want the dynamically built drop down list to select whatever name is in the querystring. Code:

This will display all records in PropSec table order by SecSort column which has values like '01', '02', '03', '04' and etc.
The reason for this is that i want to sort the records according to the SecSort, '01' first followed by '02' and so on. There musn't be a same value in the drop down box. The no. of records can increase, & not necessary fix to 3 records only.
MS Access db design :
Secsort = text(2)
Title = text(20)
Expected Outcome:
I would want to check to see that the user does not select the same value twice, i.e to prompt out an error message if it does. I am really confused as how to do a dynamic checking when there is no specific field name to check against.
The checking can be done in the secsort.asp or secsort_rs.asp. As long as it can detect the same values & prompt error msg, i am very happy.....

I have a web tool written in ASP. One of the feature is dynamic drop down list which updates a drop down list as another drop down list is changed.I uses javascript to reload the same page to update the drop down list.Everything works fine on the webpage using desktop/laptop.
However, it doesn't work on my mobile device(i.e. one drop down list doesn't get updated as another drop down is changed)how to make it works on mobile device? Should I integrate ASP with another technology,. WAP maybe?

I have a dynamic drop down being populated by a db and then the second drop down is populated depending on what was selected in the first. When it does this though the page refreshes. Is there a way to do this without a page refresh?
I dont think using javascript and arrays is an option cause I am doing this with states and cities and there are about 75,000 records in the db that it is lookin through. Code:

I have an asp application which I made "Multilanguage". I made an asp file
for every language with all the strings to be used stored like this:
Langstring1 = "French"
Langstring20 = "VTest"
In the beginning of an asp file I determine which language file to include.
In my database there are only numbers. I can now display the right text in
the right language using respons.write: Response.write(Langstring20)
Now I want to use a dropdown box displaying a text as selected based on a
relation between the number in my database and my language files. When I
have number 20 in a database, the value of the option should be 20 and the
text displayed should be 'VTest' for this is Langstring20. Problem is that
the option value seems to be correct with what I do, but the text displayed
in the box is not correct. How can I solve this? Code:

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?
