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 a list of provinces in an option select right, so when i click one province i want it to chance the header of my page according to the provinces, and i have no idea on how to do that.
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 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.
Is there a possibilty to use the function <SELECT NAME="user"><OPTION>user 1</OPTION></SELECT> from a database. I want to get the data out from a table and store the data from that column in a dropdown box. What's the way to do this ?
I am trying to retrieve option values using Request.Form as you do for textboxes! The textboxes work fine... but I can't get it done for select options.
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:
How can I get a new Option based on a the previous select. When you select a room from selRoom (orange) I want the available equipment (red) that match on a foreign key (CampusID 'Not Displayed') to be displayed. Code:
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've got a little shopping cart app which when you use all of the links on the pages, and buttons etc, things are good, the "shopping basket" on the left navigation updates and shows a sum of items and cost.
However, if you arrive at the home page for example, proceed to the products page, add an item and then click "back", you get a cached page.
I appreciate there are some lines of code I can use, both ASP and html to prevent the cachine, but what I dont want to incur instead is that error IE (and other browsers too I guess - how very Microsoft of me - shows when the page has expired, I think that would probably be worse than the cart not showing any items (or not showing the update) until a link was pressed.
First the brief: I'm currently developing an intranet at work. We have approximately 3000 users and they keep forgetting their passwords. We have 3 Tech-Support guys who keep having to reset them. The idea was to build a function in to the intranet to allow department heads to be able to reset other users passwords via asp.
All well and good. After a fair bit of reading, I've acquainted myself with the basics of talking to Active Directory and retrieving various objects, properties and values.
My problem is that when I try to update any of the objects (i'm focusing on the .description property at the moment 'cos when I break it - that's not gonna matter so much) But when I try and SetInfo, I get a General Access Error. My ServerVariables("LOGON_NAME") is empty. I was wondering if there was a way to force an asp page to run as the server administrator 'cos obviously when department heads login, we don't want all of them to be AD Admins. All they should be able to do is run my script to reset a password.
I'm not actually the server admin, and don't really know the specifics of IIS, but can I just tell it to run specific scripts as domainadmin? Or can I pass something in the asp headers to force it to authenticate as admin?
I am storing a datetime into SQL Server 2000 field in datetime format. For single-digit months and dates, it is leaving the 0 off, like this:
11/6/2003 1/5/2003
For reasons having to do with technical requirements, I need to have it put the 0 in when needed, and not do it when it already has 2 digits:
11/06/2003 01/05/2003
How can this be done? When I get the value of the date in the first place, it is using the Now() function. For some fields, I only need the date, not time, so I do a DateValue around the result of the Now. Is this solved with ASP? Or do I need to do something in SQL Server?
I have the following code at the top of my page. Is there a way to force Excel to open the spreadsheet? Presently, it opens within the browser window. I know it can be saved etc., but I would rather have Excel receive the data.

I output a list of towns from a database via a normal recordset loop into a normal paragraph with links - BUT for some reason it is totally pushing the page out... is there any reason for this? I also placed trim() on the town name in case there were lots of mistaken spaces, etc. Code:
Is there a way I can iterate an option value using ASP so I can pass in multiple values on submit to the Federated item? Here's an example of pseudocode of what I'm trying to do:
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.
i have a dynamically created drop down menu where the values are pulled from our database. i've been trying with no success to pass those values to the page but it never works.
how do you pass the values from the <option value="<%=...%></option>? i thought you recalled it in the sql statement like: Code:
" WHERE Something = '" & Request.Form("optionvalue") & "' "
