I don't know what to call what I want, but here is the description. Can I use sub-Lists?
I have a dropdown that conatains a list of products. When a user chooses an item, I want another drop down or anything that will allow them to then choose the specific category.
For example:
#1: I have cars and trucks.
When I user selects cars, I want a dropdown to give them available cars to choose from.
Say for instance the user selects Ford. Then I want them to have the option to choose
from the list of Fords. Escort, T-bird etc. Their final choice is what's sent to the DB.
#2: Also, I don't want to give them the option to enter a date into the DB. I have a field in my DB design "timestamp". I want this field to be automatically populated server side once the data is submitted.
is it possable if i set up a drop down and choose somthing a different drop down box will be filled with informatin dependsing on the first one. for example if i choose in drop down box to UK . i then get all the citys in the uk like london and so on. is this possabel.
I've been using ASP for smaller (up to 4 items) dropdown menus, and so far I've been if/then/ statements such as this boolean case:
Code: <select name=""gift"> " <%If MyGift = true Then %> <option value="true" selected>YES</option> <option value="false">NO</option> <% Else %> <option value="true">YES</option> <option value="false" selected>NO</option> <% End If %> </select>
How do you set the selected item in a drop-down menu when you have many items in the dropdown, as in the case where the dropdown contains the 31 possible days in a month?
I have two drop downs. Both dropdowns are dynamic and data is send from a db for both,
Depending on what is selected in the first drop down i want to populate the second drop down. I know and have done this using XMLHTTPScripts but as this is for a website i dont want to go down this route.
i guess it depends on the domain for that answer. If it's a box with hundreds of webpages serving thousands of customers you'd want to conserve network bandwidth you'd probably want to do javascript, but i wouldn't consider reloading a page a big hit since if you just open the connection and runing two queries. But if you need the bandwidth you could do it with javascript.
I try to keep things out of javascripts and out of the hands of the client. Mainly because if they're running an older computer it will take longer to load and put unnessary strain on them and also if the client has scripting disabled you have no more drop down boxes and your site is pretty much disabled. With the strickly asp method you'd have at least the options to choose from and not any core functionality taken from it. That's my 2 cents on javascript to asp.
Im getting the functionality of it down first, thats what It looks a little bland. Anyway, the basic idea is that im trying to have a person select a department which brings up a list of class numbers, which brings up a table of tutoring times. Ive just started using ASP a week ago, so don't tear me apart too much. Code:
I want to make a form where m using two drop down menus.
Where in based on selection in first drop down the second drop down should populate itself with relevant data based on first drop down. Like first can be COUNTRY name and second can be STATE name where based oon country selected the STATES are displayed in second drop down for selection.
I have an existing ASP file in a virtual directory. When I type server. or request. in this text file using Microsoft Script Editor I get a dropdown showing the properties available for the object.
However, if I change the extension to ASP on an existing html file, or create a new asp file I'm not getting the dropdown. I suppose this indicates the objects are not available in these new files, and they would not run properly if I tried to open them. What am I missing in setting up these new ASP files?
basically what im trying to do is create a form to submit some data to an access db.
In the form i want to be able to have two dynamically populated drop downs (so if a user chooses cars in the first field it comes up with a bunch of car manufacturers, or if he chooses boats it comes up with boat builders etc etc.)
Ive searched high and low, and i the best i can find is javascript to make the drop dows. The java script however uses a form to repost the data back to the page to populate the second drop down. This wont work when its inside a form.
What I'm trying to accomplish is the ability to post information to the querystring based upon values that are within a drop down that was generated from a database. 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?
I find that a web page normally crashes out of existence whenever I try to drag a Word document into a web form. Is there any way to set up the page to support drag-and-drop? If not, is there at least a way to set up an alert so that the user gets a friendly 'not supported' message rather than having their half-filled out form instantly vaporize
I am creating a asp script that pulls records of an oracle database and displaying it as a table on an asp page. however what I want to do is display the records as links. for example.
record 1
(if record one is clicked)
record 1 information of another record from database 1 information another record from database 2 etc.
(and if record 1 is clicked again)
record 1
i really jus started learning asp and if anyone knows how to do that without any issues with client and server sides.
I have a table, which is bound to a database, how would I go about, making fields in one column, so that I can drill down on them.For example, I have a column of Groups, and I wish to click on a group and see the members in that group.
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 am trying to write a simple script that will allow me to have someone complete a form and depending on which location they choose an email will be sent to a specific person.
I have a page that validates and sends and email to me correctly, now I am trying to simply add a case statement that will allow me to change the recipient to the individual it needs to go to. What am I doing wrong? Is there another way of doing this?
Basicly I would like to know how to transfer data entered on a form one one page, to another - for example a signup: Page one - Contains initial form Page two - other details form ] both pages emailed through the same form.
I am trying to take that is submitted in a form and put it into a querystring. I have a text field with the name "company_name" and has the value of <%= cCompany%> when submitted I want to take the value of the text field and send it to another page called submit.asp. then from the submit page I will append it into a table. I can append to the table fine but when I pass the value its blank. I have tried Request.Form(company_name) and Response.Write(cCompany). None of these seem to work the variable is always blank when I submit it. I can use javascript to get the value, which works correctly but cant dont think I can pass a javascript variable into a querystring.
how come the second one has the forms lined under eachother when the first one looks like it does? How do i make the "boxes" in a straight line under eachother?
I’m working on an Invoice page. The user may edit some of the vars on the page. Then The user will want to re calculate the totals. Then after seeing the re calculated totals then I will want to submit this info to the next page where the data will be put into a DB.
The question is how do I do this without using 2 forms, It looks like you can not put a form with in a form. Yet it looks like that’s the only way to be able to pass the vars iEither to the page where were calculate the vars, or the other page where we submit the data to the DB.
and want to pass two variables across my forum by selecting just the one. i.e. rather then just passing rsPrinter("id") id also liek to pass rsPrinter("ccid")
But dont know how to without making it joined when i cann it on the next page via request.form("printerid")
Is it possible to call ASP functions from event handlers? I am trying to find a way to have a form call an ASP function, if there is a better way let me know.
A client of mine has a couple of simple contact forms on their web site and they have asked if I (their web guy) could put together an ASP Form for them as their current form is out-dated and the radio buttons don't work right.
Not only that but, they do not even have a re-direct page setup so when a prospective customer completes the form and hits "submit" the form they just submitted stays in their browser window.
I have put together html forms but, I was wondering if I could get some help with creating an ASP Form for my client with disrupting the format & layout of their current Forms?
I have checked out some ASP tutorial sites but, they really do not give you the full picture in creating a "working" ASP Form.
I am trying to create a page with a drop-down select upon it. When the user clicks on a selection I want a new frame to appear with a new URL (associated with the selection) appearing in it.
previously when I have used select I have passed the value to the new page, but this time I want to go to a different page depending on the selection.
I have a very large form that clients will enter data into. When they submit the form I would like a page to come up where they can opt to confirm the form or go back and edit the form. I know this is possible is there a way to automate this so I dont have to retype the whole form again putting all the data in manual.
I need the form to be emailed to me once the form is complete. the problem I'm having is when the SUBMIT button is selected I receive a HTTP error 403.1. My web server admin isn't sure what is causing the problem. Is ASP the best way to go?
I need to collect course registrations, with cc info, via an ASP registration form that would operate under SSL. The order info would be stored in a database that resides outside of the public web directory.
If I write a password protected utility that runs under SSL that allows the person processing orders to view/print records in this database under SSL so they can be manually processed, and after printing delete the cc number in the db, realistically, how secure is this? Host won't let me use PGP.
They don't want to use Paypal, and can't get an online merchant account because they're considered a high risk business (travel). What other options do I have?
im creating an application form for an existing site. The pages are all .asp but my form is .php. I have never explored asp before and know very very little about it. Not sure of the easiest way to create this form within these pages.
I have a form with 6 multiline text boxes each accepting data to be stored in a memo field. the form accept as much date as can be typed, but refuses to send data after a certain limit (havent actually counted the # characters).
Is there a limit to the number of characters a form can send, or is it some other design problem.
Basically I have a form, where I have 6 option boxes, say Option box 1 has 3 options in it, being A,B,C. Is the a script around than when a user selects an option them form gets reloaded with the same option boxes, but between the first two option boxes a Text box appears with a certain label, this labels is altered depenging on the users selection.
