Dynamically Populate Drop Down Menu Option Value Problem
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 have a page which displays a list of events searched for by a particular date. we usually have a lot of events and i don't want the user to have scroll through all of them, especially if they're interested in a particular type of event.
i have created a dynamic drop down menu which consists of all the event types. how can i got about displaying the events returned by the query to a specific event for that date.
so for example, if some one searches for 03/08/2005, they will initially get a list of all events for that day. if they click on "Closed" from the drop down menu, it will display all the "Closed" events for 03/08/2005.

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 an input form with several fields. One of which is a checkbox to indicate whether or not the content should be public. It sets a value of "Y" in the db, and the SQL query will use this to determine if it's displayed.
The input works fine, and the correct value is saved if checked or unchecked.
Here's my problem... I have another form to edit the record. How can I dynamically check or uncheck the checkbox, based on the value already saved?

I have a series of tables, within one database, which each hold unique information, all of which relates to one main table.
I would like to have 4 DropDownMenu's populate themselves based upon the choice of the previous menu.
Example.
Menu A contains four names - John, Henry, Larry, Ed.
When user selects Henry from Menu A, Menu B will show the following choices - Bread, Peanuts, Pickles, Chips.
When user selects Chips from Menu B, Menu C will show the following - BBQ, Ranch, Plain.
When user selects Plain from Menu C, Menu D will show the following - 1 oz., 5 oz., 8 oz.
All of those fields relate to individual tables that all contain a relationship to the main table. Is there a particular way in which I can populate multiple tables based upon the preceeding menu?

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 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>"

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.

Anyone know how to create a drop down menu where the user can enter text

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 have a form that I would like to create. My primary concern is 2 drop-down menus. The contents of the second drop down menu depend on the selection of the first drop-down menu.
For example: In the first drop-down menu, I want to select a department, and after a department is selected, I want to be able to select one of that department's employees from the second drop-down menu. Of course the content of the employee menu will depend on which department was selected.
I've been experimenting a little bit with my Access database, but how I design that really depends on suggestions I get here, so let me know what you think.
EDIT: I should also mention that the contents need to be read from the Access database, rather than storing everything in a javascript array. In this way, I can have Human Resources add new departments and employees via a web form so that I don't have to manually edit code every day.

I have an access database called contact.mdb and I have linked to it just fine and used the records held in it to populate a datagrid and can update and delete records.
I don't understand databases that much but I would like to read the values into a drop down menu which are held in the field 'ID' from a table called 'courses'. I have a feeling it is something to do with data sets but am not too hot on these either.

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; so there is a list of languages for one to be selected. 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&"") %>">
